Neat! Shouted Out On Neatorama
This is a week or so late already, but ROFLThing was recently shouted out on Neat-O-Rama!
Sweet.
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.

Yiying Lu To Design Schedule for SF-ROFLThing!
Good news that we’ve been in touch with Yiying Lu, who was the design mastermind behind the now iconic Twitter Fail Whale. Turns out she’ll unfortunately be unable to join Sean O’Steen and the Fail Whale Club crew over at our August 29th event in San Francisco. However, excited to announce that in a move of incredible generosity and awesomeness, she’s agreed to put together some designs for our schedule for the event. Which (be still your geeky hearts) will be printed out on old school 5.25” floppy sleeves. We’ll post ‘em as they get put together over the next week or so.
You can see more of Yiying’s gorgeous (non-Fail Whale related) work at her site here.

Doctor Popular, San Francisco-based Yo-Yo Genius and Nerdcore Rapper, was showing me these ridiculously slick “LOL-llets” that he’s been putting together the other day. Two cool bits of news:
1) He’ll be showing up to lurk around the crowd at San Francisco ROFLThing on Aug 29th!
2) He will be bringing some of this hot handmade wallet action and other various cool doodads with him! If you can’t wait to get your grubby little paws on them, they’re also available on Etsy.
That is all. Been working out the deets on the Onstad party, stay tuned…
San Francisco ROFLThing Badges!
As we ramp up for the August 29th San Francisco ROFLThing, people have been asking if we have a slick little something that they can post up on their blogs, etc to let people know that they’re going.
Good news!
Just got word that Kristen Curtis over at the ever-awesome Wexley School for Girls slammed together these (kickass) badges for us. Feel free to take ‘em and post ‘em all over your blogs, websites, wallpapers, ANSI art splash, or whatever.
We’re busily cutting out more individual images for all the badge joy your heart desires and will be posting ‘em shortly, but if you’re all hardcore and DIY and stuff, feel free to do it yourself with this Handy Dandy PDF.
