ABOUT

It was a classic story as old as time: college kids grow up online, decide that it'd be a great idea to throw a internet culture conference, and unleash sheer ridiculousness upon the world.

Back in April 2008, we put on ROFLCon 2008 -- the first internet culture conference devoted to discussing what makes memes work, why they work, and where its all going (and then throwing a big-ass rocking party with the internet celebs themselves). It was a kickass time.

We figured we'd keep doing this as long as it remains awesome (and it still is), so we're already hard at work scheming to put together internet culture events into next year. This will be the place for all the breaking news on how they're coming along.

Needless to say, these might be the most important gatherings since the fall of the tower of Babel.

Martin Sargent At San Francisco ROFLThing

Martin Sargent (here pictured back in April at the original ROFLCon with R Stevens and MC Frontalot) has just dropped a line to let me know he’ll be coming to next month’s San Francisco ROFLThing rolling helluva deep with a posse of our friends from Revision3!

In addition to being a total badass, Sargent’s currently the host of the web celebrity podcast show Internet Superstar, and has headed up a bunch of shows in the past, including such old school standards TechTV’s Unscrewed and humongously awesome Web Drifter.

You can see the A++ would buy again episode that he and his co-host Gator filmed at ROFLCon with the power-star combo of Tron Guy, Leslie Hall, and Denny Blaze here.

Oh, and, schedule has been updated accordingly.
