People spend hours every day reading blogs and webcomics and watching indie videos and shorts. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to party with all of your favorite online personalities in one weekend, then you will want to go to Intervention being held in Rockville, Maryland at the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville (1750 Rockville Pike) Friday September 10th through Sunday September 12th ,2010.

In its inaugural year, Intervention brings creators of online indie content, such as blogs, animation, music, videos, and webcomics to their fans. As the digital world grows and matures, the importance of these communities cannot be ignored.

From Friday through Sunday, attendees will be treated to nearly 24-hour programming including gaming, panels, workshops and discussion groups if you're looking to get involved with your own web-niche. There is a vendor room with over 40 webcomics, New Media experts and artists. 

On Friday night, enjoy a burlesque-style figure drawing session with the famed Molly Crabapple and Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. If you want to see artists duke it out on the big paper, the rising phenomena that is Super Art Fight comes to bring drawing battle to a fever pitch. DJ Subvert hosts two goth/industrial dance parties for everyone to burn off some of that extra energy. Don't miss a performance by the naughty fandom troupe, Cosplay Burlesque.

The extensive list of guests includes: 

• Evil, Inc.'s Brad Guigar
• Megatokyo's Fred Gallage
• Loldwell's Caldwell Tanner
• IHL's James Hatton
