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!

Johnny Wander @ ROFLCon II!

Swinging back into the comix universe, terrifically happy today to be finally announcing that our friends Ananth Panagariya and Yuko Ota, creators of the gorgeously done, semi-biographical Johnny Wander, will be joining the guest list and attending the festivities at ROFLCon II!

You might also remember Ananth from Applegeeks, and may have seen his masterful design skills recently in action on ONI’s limited-edition geek-salivation-inducing Scott Pilgrim shirt. Both are works of high badassery and both Ananth and Yuko are folks of the highest order, so we’re absolutely lucky to have both of them on board.

Unbelievably enough, the guests keep on piling in as we run into the home stretch. We’ve got double announcements today, so check in later for a bonus bit of ROFL!

Amazingly — was able to snag an image this morning that fits beautifully for two of our guests. So happy to give a double-trouble guest announcement this morning confirming that both the creators of Lamebook and folks behind My Mom Is A Fob will be attending and speaking at ROFLCon II!

If you haven’t seen it, absolutely worth checking out the treasure trove of aggregated awkwardness and hilarity on both blogs. Thrilled to have both of them participating: Jonathan and Matthew will be repping up on our “The Good, The Bad, and the Awkward” panel talking about embarrassing stuff on the internet, and Serena and Teresa will be participating in an evolving panel that we’ve got coming together about race on the wubs. We’re excited to have both of ‘em there for the party.

In any case, stay tuned! We’ve got a few more guest announcements and other good stuff coming down the pipe to round out this week.
