BRB’N GRP @ RFLCN

Awesomely enough, right now, as legions of folks spill out across Cambridge MA (and we’re thrilled to finally meet you all in person) — I’m glad to announce a late-breaking (but terrific) sponsorship with our long time friends @ The Barbarian Group.

TBG jumped on board early on the ROFLCon train, and have been strongly along with us every step of the way coast-to-coast, from our original conference, to ROFLThing-SF, Titans of Small Town, and finally to ROFLThing-NYC. So, it goes without saying that we’re thrilled and absolutely excited to have them on board for our massive two-day homecoming to Boston in ROFLCon II.

It’s been two years in the making, and we couldn’t have chosen better folks to have along for the ride. We think that they’re excellent, and hope you get a chance to meet some of them at the conference!

BREAKING NEWS: ROFLCon Gets an Ice Cream Flavor

Thanks to the wonders of modern science, no longer will countless internet kittens be without ice cream. More importantly, neither will you.

No kid. For one weekend only, local Boston ice cream institution Toscanini’s will be proudly offering THE INTERNET as a flavor, in honor of the impending reality vortex that is ROFLCon II. From what I hear, it will be a vanilla ice cream base with Nerds mixed in (DELICIOUS).

And, best of all, Tosci’s is literally just across the street from our boozy base for the weekend at the Asgard, over on 899 Main Street. So, if you’re around, dear attendees, absolutely worth checking it out.

They Called It “Snarky McFuckbuttons”

Oh yeah, we seriously went there.

ROFLCon’s had the honor of teaming up with tons of illustrious sponsors over the years: Mozilla, Breadpig, Omni Consumer Products — you name it.

So, really, when we got the chance to team up with San Francisco based angry-snark-and-rage-button-making outfit Snarky McFuckbuttons, how could we refuse?

What you see above is the amazing work of Christopher Palmer and the Snarky team, translating Almighty’s slick designs to button form. They’ll be available en masse only at the conference. Use them wisely.

Sweet Sweetness of Sweethood: Magners Sponsors ROFLCon!

Aaaaand, we’re in the home stretch! ROFLTeam’s been pulling some late nights and putting out the usual fires, but the good news is that we’re looking to be on track and balling. Expect this blog to start getting way more active as we get into the final few days before the event — we’ve got some additional surprises (it’ll also be updating with coverage of the event and other fun tidbits on Friday/Saturday).

We’re glad to announce today the terrific news coming down the chute that the friendly folks over at Magners — those manufacturers of fine alcoholic Irish products — are coming on board as conference sponsors for ROFLCon II! Pretty happy to welcome them to the internet.

In practical terms, this translates to awesomeness. They’ll be representing with their fine Irish cider on Friday night at the Asgard (350 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA), where we’re setting up base and you’ll be able to hang out both during and after all the ridiculous things going on that evening. So, good stuff: definitely come and check it out!
