Here’s another photo (that is, in addition to this one) from my Boston Globe days. In April 2008, I attended the inaugural ROFLCon — a convention of internet memes — at MIT. (I would attend the other two ROFLCons, in 2010 and 2012, as well.) There, I met for the first time HiLobrow friend and contributor Jessamyn West. As well as various members of Anonymous, there to protest Scientology. Good times!
