So, really, just when you thought that the ROFLCon guest list couldn’t get any larger — we’re decided to bust all previous expectations open by formally announcing a final series of new and alumni guests that will be turning up for the conference! Some of these you’ll know from their quiet appearance on our schedule, but others have been as yet unannounced to this point. Check it out! We’ve got:

* Neil Cicierega, of Lemon Demon, Potter Puppet Pals, and other greatness.

* Ian Spector, owner and operator of the Chuck Norris Facts.

* AJ Mazur, creator of the (by now classic) Lazy Town-Lil Jon remix.

* Larry Oji and David Lloyd, of the behemoth video game music community OCRemix.

* And, brand new this year, is Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett, general Masters of Pop Culture and the amazing minds behind the Found Footage Festival.

Okay, cool, I think that’s it. For now.

Last, but absolutely definitely not least by a long stretch, ROFLCon is happy today to be announcing the last of our of special guest artist announcements by concluding this fine Thursday afternoon to say that the following fine ladies and gentlemen will be representing themselves and their creations at ROFLCon II:

* Joey Comeau and Emily Horne, creators of the beautifully dark and wonderfully brilliant A Softer World (and alums from ROFLCon I and our gallery show Titans of Small Town)

* AND Tak Toyoshima from long-standing favorite Secret Asian Man (who the sharper among you may have already picked up on from our announcement about Super Art Fight yesterday).

Thrilled to have ‘em both — catch them hanging around through the weekend, and otherwise kicking ass.

And, as of today, we’re officially t-minus two weeks before ROFLCon gets under way — mind-blowingly excited to see you all there!

Truly, absolutely, a man who needs no introduction.

Glad to round out this afternoon by announcing that Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics and Project Wonderful (and long standing ROFL-veteran) will be coming from Canada to reprise his role as Roguishly Handsome Awesome Guy at ROFLCon II!

Max Goldberg of YTMND @ ROFLCon!

As we wind down these announcements, seriously glad this morning to make an exciting last minute guest confirmation that Max Goldberg, the creator of essential web culture classic You’re The Man Now, Dog, will be attending ROFLCon II! Max is a ROFLalumni from our NYC event back in 2009, and we’re thrilled to have him back for another round for our huge two-day extravaganza.

Max, in addition to contributing YTMND to the world, is famously also the owner of DustinDiamond.com — which, if you weren’t previously aware, led to one of the best legal suits of the American judicial system of all time. We can’t thank him enough.

So, yeah, we’re pretty much feeling like this right now.
