Chances are if you have looked a picture online lately you have this guy to thank!

Mr Schaff

And here is your chance, Mr. Alan Schaaf creator of imgur (image-er) is coming to see you, IRL.

Imgur has become the standard for quick image sharing, and is currently using over 50TB of bandwidth a day. That is a lot of people trying to show off their new puppies (I’m looking at you, Reddit)

More announcements to come soon!

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.

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.
