Lots of great interviews in the can after my trip to NYC. I attended ROFLcon and then went on to interview:
- Mike Reiss, writer for The Simpsons and creator of The Critic. Why? Because he's also written online Flash cartoons for Icebox which was a site that tanked in the early 2000s.
- Rex Sorgatz, prominent blogger and social media guru. He's got his finger on the pulse of the web.
- Ross Snyder - you may remember him as the guy who wrote the original NG Portal and an essential figure in the site's history
- Nina Paley, an amazing Flash animator and cartoonist who made an entire feature film in Flash. Also a compelling spokeswoman for copyright reform.
- Lloyd Kaufman, founder and president of Troma Films, one time web host of Newgrounds. He's also a huge independent media advocate.
Everyone was fantastic and provided tons of insight, delightful anecdotes and words of support.
Next stop, Philadelphia!
