roflcon: overtime interviews the memes written by geoffrey on 04/28/08
this past weekend, i rocked out at roflcon. the place was crawling with internet celebrities. case-in-point: i waited in a line to talk to matt from homestar runner with the guy who made chuck norris facts and the writers at jib jab. very surreal.
i also guest blogged for the convention, interviewing the memestars after their panels. here’s who i talked to:
he reminisces on how sesame street execs responded to his pioneering meme.
joe mathlete - marmaduke explained
talks about why he was hoping for a cease and desist letter.
andy ochiltree - head writer of jib jab
explains how they turned “this land” into a successful company.
rob, kris and matt - cyanide and happiness
they talk about their relationship to the similarly drawn, but completely different humor-wise, xkcd.
christian lander - stuff white people like
his (sad?) bit of advice for people trying to become successful bloggers.
