ROFLCon

In the making since '94

The official ROFLCon site: http://www.roflcon.org

A music show, with memes performing their work live. And then a big blowout party at the end, where everyone danced and rocked out.

Needless to say, this was the most important gathering since the fall of the tower of Babel.
