Know Your Meme: The Game Show! Pwn, Win, or Fail! Live in NYC!
On Monday, February 23, 2009 at 7:30 pm, at Santos Party House on Lafayette near Walker, just *before* the O’Reilly IgniteNYC event, the Rocketboom Institute for Internet Studies will conduct its next exercise in its continuing study of this thing called ‘Internet’. Chief Internet Scientists Jamiedubs, Elspethjane, and Yatta will lead two teams in a test of their knowledge of all things internet including memes, internet phenomena, and the occasional geeky computer history question.
At the end of the competition the winrars will be crowned ‘Kings of All Things’ for the evening.
Teams will be scored on the accuracy of their responses as well as the enthusiasm of all of their team members.
Contestants include Rex Sorgatz (Fimoculous), Gavin Purcell (Attack of the Show / Jimmy Fallon Show), Peter Rojas (Engadget / RCRD LBL), Nate Westheimer (Innonate), and Kelly Reeves (URLesque) vs Michelle DeForest (Next New Networks), Bre Pettis (NYC Resistor), Caroline McCarthy (CNET), Irene Polnyi (Internetfamo.us), and Tim Shey (Next New Networks).
