Event Details

San Francisco Details

When: August 29th, 2008

Where: Mighty, SF

What: So we’re throwing an evening event in San Francisco, featuring a bushel of short talks from the internet famous and other knowledgeable online culture folks on the past, present, and future of the memescape. Like in April, we’ll be having an open call for various celebrities to show up and lurk around in the audience. It’ll be followed by an open bar and a dance party. So, in other words, it should be a superlatively ridiculous time.

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.

Doctor Popular, San Francisco-based Yo-Yo Genius and Nerdcore Rapper, was showing me these ridiculously slick “LOL-llets” that he’s been putting together the other day. Two cool bits of news:

1) He’ll be showing up to lurk around the crowd at San Francisco ROFLThing on Aug 29th!

2) He will be bringing some of this hot handmade wallet action and other various cool doodads with him! If you can’t wait to get your grubby little paws on them, they’re also available on Etsy.

That is all. Been working out the deets on the Onstad party, stay tuned…

No offense to the creator or anything but I don’t think it’s strictly correct to call the lollets “ridiculously slick.” Sorry.
