Ahoy, I'm Peter Tatara. In brief, I'm left-handed, a vegetarian, and my blood type is A. I work for the New York Comic Con and New York Anime Festival and have a cute girlfriend and a Space: Above & Beyond boxset. I'm generally a happy guy.

NYC Can Has Cheezburger!
I like Lolcats. I love Lolcats. I endlessly annoy my girlfriend with Lolcats. So, with great please, I announce to the internet that Ben Huh, the mastermind behind Lolcats, will be speaking next week in NYC.
As the CEO of Pet Holdings, Ben runs icanhascheezburger.com and grew it into the global purveyor of absurd cat humor that we know and love today. The book based on the site -- I Can Has Cheezburger?: A LOLcat Colleckshun -- has spent thirteen weeks on the New York Times paperback best-seller list, and I’ve personally bought over 20 copies for friends, co-workers, and enemies.
Ben's ability to popularize memes has made him a cultural icon, and Pet Holdings now includes the popular brands Failblog, Pundit Kitchen, and Engrish Funny. Ben will be discussing memes and books with David Lat, the founder of the legal blog, Above the Law.
