Official ROFLCon II Conference Shirt: Pixel Art Three Wolf Moon

So, we alluded to this a little while back, but glad to do a big announcement today and make it all official and stuff after keeping it secret for so long. The official conference shirt is a go.

What you are seeing in the above image is correct: ROFLCon has teamed up with R. Stevens from Diesel Sweeties to create this magnum opus of pixel art genius. This shirt, which will then be printed as an official limited-run series with our friends over at The Mountain, will have the all-authentic tags and mystical powers of the original.

Needless to say, we’re thrilled we were able to get this all together, and hope you are as well.

We’re still working out the details, but if you want one, sign up now on this here form. Supplies will be limited for the conference and we’ll be using the form to do first-come-first-served, so jump on!

The Onion AV Club Sponsors ROFLCon!

Really, really excellent news rolling out of this here ROFLCon joint that we’re glad to announce that the awesome folks over at the Onion AV Club are coming on board as media sponsors for ROFLCon II in April! Being silly geeky fans of the site, we’re all hearts a’flutter on this one.

Stay tuned on this one — in addition to teaming up with them, we’re in the process of working out trying to bring out some of the writers from the team (and random commenter micro-celebrities) for the conference as well, so, we’ll keep you posted as that situation develops.

Also, if you’re a huge pop culture nerd and want to lose the rest of your evening reading backposts, ROFLCon recommends such fine vintages as Nathan Rabin’s My Year of Flops and all the other beautiful things they have to offer (see: that time they ate a cheeseburger in a can).

The Weekly Dig Sponsors ROFLCon!

A series of media and other fantastic sponsorships like whoah this week. Glad to kick that process off with some solid old friends: Boston’s venerable (and by that we mean since 1999) badasses and certainly the city’s number-one-awesomest weekly, The Weekly Dig, is officially teaming up and sponsoring us for ROFLCon II!

Veterans of the ROFLCon experience may remember The Dig from back in 2008 when they ROFLed up and reissued their April issue as the W33kly D1g. We’re glad to announce that they’re suiting up to do that again in a few months and promising to go even further with it than any magazine has done before. We’re not sure what that means, but we’re sure it’s likely to be amazing.

So to that we say to David Day and the team over at The Dig, we say, godspeed. We’ll keep you all posted here on the details as it comes together!

The Mozilla Sponsors The ROFL

In the midst of all these (increasingly ridiculous) guest announcements, we’d be seriously remiss if we didn’t take a moment to thank all the folks who are bringing some hard-earned dollars and kickass expertise to bear on gathering the whole world wide wubs here to Boston in a few months. It’s no small thing, and we’re proud to be teamed up with them.

Specifically, today, we’re very glad to announce that the nonprofitting, web-browser-creating, awesome-producing folks over at Mozilla, will be jumping on board as conference sponsors for ROFLCon II. We’re hugely indebted to them for actually sending the Firefox back in 2008 (leading to this bit of wonderfulness), and loving that we’re teaming up with them once more to put this together.

They’ll be there, repping some of their latest work with Drumbeat, and helping our team stream/capture everything that happens that weekend (which we’ll be releasing afterwards in glorious CC BY, as per usual) from the conference for posterity. It’s going to rock.

As always, if you’re interested in hopping on board as a sponsor yourself, be sure to drop a line to tim AT roflcon DOT org.
