Afterparty is 21+, But Free Friday Night?

So, after a long, drawn-out battle and discussion with the owners over the last week or so, Moomia’s has officially dinged us down hard and all our alternative suggestions to work it out: the afterparty will be 21+. We’re stuck too because there’s no other venues open at this point.

This sucks so hard and we feel like asshats. Particularly because the 18+ crowd is internets too.

But – if you want parties and shenanigans and are in town early, ROFLThing’s got something cooked up for you.

On, uh, the New York City subway system. With people.

Friday night. 10:30 PM. Union Square, near the statue of Ol’ George Washington.

We’ll be there. You should be too.

It’s not too late to get tickets to ROFLThing, we’re giving to charity — check this out.

Chicago ROFLThing Postponed

Our general strategy with the ROFLThings this summer has been: throw many schemes and plans against the wall, and see what sticks. This has led to some real developing wins, but also some softer spots on the map. So, today, with great sadness, we’re kicking out Chicago ROFLThing from this summer’s schedule and pushing it later this year/next year. We’re sure we’ll be back to the Windy City though, those UChicago kids are too good to pass up for this sort of thing.

BUT places that are sticking quite nicely. San Francisco is starting to pull in the confirms (reg will be opening up next week), Seattle is about to announce its big event (just tidying up the details), and NYC has got a killer crew starting to work on it (it’ll probably be our latest event in the summer/early fall). More news as it comes in over the weekend…

Comment Thread for “Comment Thread”

Some of you who attended the final session of ROFLCon may remember the trolling (thanks Zotnix!) we got in our comment thread (not unexpected — what kind of internet culture conference would we be without it?) and the IRL flame war (like, punches) that ensued.

This “real” comment thread with the Anons may interest you.
