Can’t get enough of internet Celebrity and in the Cambridge area? ROFLCon partner Respectably French will be bringing Gunther to Harvard’s Quincy Courtyard from 12:30-1:30 this Wednesday.
If you don’t know about Swedish “musician” Gunther, well, suffice it to say, he touches the ROLFCon team’s collective tra la la.

Depressed that you missed ROFLCon registration? Can’t make it across the Atlantic to catch a glimpse of Tron Guy? Torn between two multi-streaming panels? Have no fear! ROFLCon has teamed up with Harvard sketch comedy group Respectably French to produce full footage of the conference. All footage will be released with Creative Commons licenses (CC-BY-SA), which means we’re encouraging you to share and remix the conference video.
We love how incestuous the internet is. Still, imagine our surprise when Benjamin Palmer over at Barbarian Group dropped us a line suggesting we get in touch with his doctor. It turns out that Jay Parkinson is one cool dude. Besides keeping Ben healthy, he has a pretty damn slick web-based business model and the stats to back it up (6 million hits in 4 months). As we start to reshuffle our schedule, we’ll see if Jay fits in to the conference as a speaker. Either way, we are pretty ridiculously excited to have Jay as a VIP guest. Plus, it’ll be good to have an MD on hand, you know, just in case things go really badly.
Jeph Jacques, the super talented artist behind web-comic Questionable Content, the ongoing story of a couple of Northampton indie kids, will be joining the party in Cambridge in April. Jeph also sells questionable content inspired merchandise. I am pretty psyched about talking to him about translating a successful webcomic into a larger business opportunity.
