MaxFunCon Retrospectives & Recaps

Tons of MaxFunCon attendees wrote about their experiences on their blogs and elsewhere...

Scott Beale of Laughing Squid posted some really great pictures he took of the Con, including one of me from a very unflattering angle. He also posted a great time-lapse video of the mountain fog.

Catherine McCormick wrote a post on the comedy blog From The Back of the Room about the con. She talks about, among other things, making a guest appearance on Jordan, Jesse, Go!. She and her pal were wonderful guests, and Judge John Hodgman definitively settled their dispute over whether inline or traditional roller skates are better. You can read Catherine's account here.

Matt Haughey of Metafilter (our beloved sponsor) posted a great recap of his experiences on his personal blog. He says "If I could sign up for next year's event today, I would."

Our pal Adam Lisagor, aka @lonelysandwich, called it "Woodstock for the New Sincere." I'll take it.

Nicole Lee posted a similarly enthusiastic recap, including some of her experiences trying to explain what the heck MaxFunCon was to her friends and co-workers.

And of course, tons of folks are sharing their favorite moments, decompression hints, and plans for future creativity on the forum.

MaxFunCon 2009

MaxFunCon is a convocation of awesome people who seek to become more awesome.

MaxFunCon is a destination vacation -- a chance to luxuriate in the mountains of Southern California and be entertained by world class funny people.

MaxFunCon is a place to learn -- how to make something, how to do something, how to be more awesome.

MaxFunCon is, above all, a coming together. We hope you will make your new best friends here.

Bullshit aside, MaxFunCon is an intimate, weekend-long gathering created by MaximumFun.org, the web community and online home of the public radio program The Sound of Young America, its blog, and its affiliated podcasts. Join us June 12th through 14th, 2009, and be entertained, informed and befriended.
