We’re very happy to announce today that scholar-adventurer Mssr. Max Goldberg, founder of long-time, O.G. internet favorite YTMND (since 2001!), will be at ROFLCon III. We’re enormous fans of Max since his appearance at ROFLCon II, and thrilled to have him back.

I should also note here that the Insurance Fraud Bust YTMND is probably one of my favorite things on the internet ever.

Anyways, more guest announcements this week, as per usual. Stay tuned!

Alexis Ohanian @ ROFLCon III

Our headquarters are all abuzz today with news that jetsetting international man of destiny Alexis Ohanian is locked and loaded for attending and speaking at ROFLCon III!

In any case, Alexis is a phenomenon. He’s the co-founder of this fun obscure little site on the internet called Reddit, swine defender over at Breadpig, helped to launch the cutest travel site of all time in the form of Hipmunk, is makin’ it rain over at the Institute for Higher Awesome Studies, is working on a new book about making the world suck less, and most recently was a happy warrior in the battle to protect the Internets on SOPA/PIPA.

Alexis was the fearless moderator on our LOLCats panel back in the day, and also MCed our ROFLThing-NYC event a few years back. We’re bringing him back (with a few other folks to be announced in the coming weeks) to be part of a session that collects a number of internet badasses to talk strategery on ways to scramble the United Internets security council and defend the internet the next time an attack comes around the corner.

BAM! More tomorrow, stay tuned.

Back for 2012, Joel Veitch of rather good is going to be back in Cambridge again for some love and lols and lager (perhaps not all or in that order). Since then he has continued to keep the Internet chuckling with claymation videos of Royal Wedding and all other amusing videos.

More big news soon! The week only gets more exciting from here :)
