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.

Chicago ROFLThing Postponed

Our general strategy with the ROFLThings this summer has been: throw many schemes and plans against the wall, and see what sticks. This has led to some real developing wins, but also some softer spots on the map. So, today, with great sadness, we’re kicking out Chicago ROFLThing from this summer’s schedule and pushing it later this year/next year. We’re sure we’ll be back to the Windy City though, those UChicago kids are too good to pass up for this sort of thing.

BUT places that are sticking quite nicely. San Francisco is starting to pull in the confirms (reg will be opening up next week), Seattle is about to announce its big event (just tidying up the details), and NYC has got a killer crew starting to work on it (it’ll probably be our latest event in the summer/early fall). More news as it comes in over the weekend…
