Thank you, everybody!

If you wanted to register but didn't get to in time, send an email to waitlist@maximumfun.org with your name, phone number, and whether you would like a single ticket or a couple's ticket. There's a good chance we'll be able to release a few more tickets before June, so putting yourself on the waiting list is worth it if you want to go!

Registration is $790 per person (plus a processing fee) and includes everything you will need for the weekend - lodging, food, drink, classes and shows. We offer a $100 discount for couples sharing a bed. For a limited time, you can also pay via an installment plan - four monthly payments of $197.50 (plus processing fees).

Registration for MaxFunCon is extremely limited - only 150 guests will experience this special weekend - so register now!


If you have any problems with registration, email theresa@maximumfun.org for assistance. Remember, tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable; as a courtesy, we are happy to provide a refund of half of your purchase price until one month before the event.

Jad Abumrad, past recipient of our Special Citation in Broadcasting award and host-producer of RadioLab got some great news last week: he's been selected as a MacArthur Award recipient. It's perhaps the most prestigious non-Governmental honor you can receive in the US, and is known colloquially as "the genius grant."

Above, you can see Jad's talk at MaxFunCon.

I hope you have a cool calendar like this one to mark, because it's time to mark your calendars. MaxFunCon 2012 will be June 1st-3rd in Lake Arrowhead.

If you're a MaxFunCon attendee (or potential attendee) on the East coast, we've got cool news for you. Ben Harrison (our videographer) and our friend Chris Bannon (from WNYC) are working up plans for a Brooklyn MaxFunCon meetup. Find details on the MaxFunCon forum, here.

Little did we know when Andy Daly agreed to appear as part of Asssscat at MaxFunCon that he would be bringing his road comedian pal Jerry O'Hearn along with him for an impromptu performance in our standup show. Luckily, an attendee captured a bit of the performance on video so you can enjoy it!
