I never knew about ROFLCon 2010. I wish I did. According to their website, ROLFCon is “an epic internet culture conference." This sounds like it’s right up my alley.
ROFLCon 2010 is set for April 30th to May 1st at MIT. Attendees will include some of the Internet's brightest “stars” and the leading web humorists from your favorite photoblogs and websites. Although ROFLCon 2010 may only be the second ROLFCon ever, I’m jumping on the bandwagon now. Who knows, this may very well be the next Comic Con.
