ROFLThing San Francisco Schedule!
San Francisco, CA — August 28-9th, 2008
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.
Thursday, August 28th
Where: Barbarian San Francisco Headquarters, 461 Bush Street, Ste. 200
6:00 — Barbarian Group Pre-ROFLThing Achewood Party!
