The Internet is truly an amazing place. Where else can an entire company be built upon the simple fact that people like silly pictures of animals? And where else could that company become so popular that it is able to throw a party at SXSW, featuring live-band karaoke all the cheeseburgers we could stuff into our LOLing faces?
The I Can Has Cheezburger party at the Cedar Door was awesome. I sang Cheap Trick's "Surrender" backed by a live band. The drinks flowed generously. And yes, I did have cheezburger. My friends and I were lucky enough to score a table out on the deck where the karaoke band performed. Surrounded by great people, awesome music, and a steady stream of drinks, this was one of my favorite parties.
I'm still craving those buffalo BBQ burgers. Where did those magical sandwiches come from, and how can I find burgers like that in Baltimore? DO WANT.

It's an awesome way to promote the brand, which includes a book. I sat in a session at Digital Book World where the Acq Ed for I Can Has Cheezburger was a panelist. He's also the guy responsible for the Chuck Norris joke books. It's interesting to me to see the life cycle of something like this that started on the internet and then became a brand. It's the making of a pop culture icon!
Also, I like cheeseburgers :)
Plus, all of those guys were super-friendly, too! But I suppose, if your empire is based on funny jokes and pictures, you'd have to be a pretty fun person to begin with.
