Roflcon (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! ROFLCon is a biennial convention of Internet memes that first took place April 25-26, 2008, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Various Net celebrities attended, such as the authors of the webcomics xkcd, Questionable Content and Dinosaur comics, Jay Maynard "The Tron Guy," moot, Leeroy Jenkins, The Brothers Chaps, and many others. ROFLCon was organized by a group of students from Harvard University led by Tim Hwang. According to Hwang, the inspiration for the conference was the September 23, 2007 meetup of fans of xkcd with its creator in a park in North Cambridge, MA. The ROFLCon team spent months tracking down people associated with memes, but many of the invited guests did not attend.
