Dinosaur Comics, Dr. McNinja, Achewood = TITANS OF SMALL TOWN

Wow, it’s been awhile, Internet, what have you been up to? Sorry we’ve been taking so long to update on this here blog.

Rest assured, though, dear readers, that the folks over here @ ROFLHeadquarters have not been sitting around idly eating Funyuns and watching back episodes of Clone High like you might expect. If you’re in New York City on April 11th, we’ve been working with our friends over at The Barbarian Group to put together TITANS OF SMALL TOWN @ 303Grand in Brooklyn — a kickass one-night webcomics gallery event featuring work (and limited run, exclusive work only available at the event)  from:

* Ryan North, Dinosaur Comics

* Chris Hastings, Dr. McNinja

* Chris Onstad, Achewood

The artists (still working out the deets with Onstad) will be on site as well to do a Q&A about the work!

Tickets now on sale for $20. Due to the size of the gallery, supplies are extremely limited and we totally expect to sell out all the slots on this, so if you’re interested, definitely worth getting in ASAP.  More details to follow in the coming days! Drop a line at tim AT roflcon DOT org, if you’ve got any questions.

What Time Is It?

IT’S GO TIME.

Let’s do this.

Registration Opens @ 11:30 AM EST at Santos Party House (96 Lafayette Street).

Be there.

The Tron Guy Attending ROFLThing-NYC

Gah, been so busy getting things together that we didn’t realize we’re running out of time to announce new guests! So we’re picking up the pace — with a few others coming out of the gate later today.

In any amazing 11th hour surprise (we didn’t even know it was coming until late last week), we’re happy to announce that Jay Maynard, alias The Tron Guy, will be attending ROFLThing-NYC. You might remember Jay from his appearance at the original ROFLCon back in April with Dancing Matt, and from the original Slashdotting that boosted him to South Park and We Are The Web fame.

Score.

Crisis Averted: Afterparty At Moomia Lounge

Thanks to what is clearly the mighty magical powers of our friends at Rosen Group, extremely glad (and majorly relieved) to announce that ROFLThing-NYC will, in our traditional style, be finishing up as announced with a crazy post-conference dance party with Jamie Dubs & Serious Business heading up the Wheels of Steel and special awesomeness added by the interactive creations of Hak5. Best of all, it’ll be going much later than the previously announced time of 10:30 to more respectable party hours (see updated schedule).

The venue? Moomia Lounge, just a block or two down the street from all the conference events at Santos Party House @ 157 Lafayette Street.

As you’ll see from their website, the place is a bit kooky — but fitting. After all, what’s a more fitting way to close out a day of web culture geekery than in an Egyptian splendor? Right? Right.
