We've got Comic-Con@Home, WarnerMedia's DC Fandome, Skybound Xpo, and a number of other "virtual conventions" taking place over the next two months, all doing their part to give everyone as close to a pop culture convention experience as possible without the "con flu" aftermath (we have enough real sickness to deal with). Now we can add Adult Swim's Adult Swim Con (we're guessing that they're taking the money they would've spent on a flashier title and spending it on the event programming) to that list. Co-sponsored by Rick and Morty corporate best buddy Pringles and taking place online and for free (except for whatever obscene price you're paying for the internet) from July 23-25, the virtual weekend will include: live events, surprise musical guests, giveaways, DJ sets, a cosplay competition, a chance to chat live with the cast and creators from some of your favorites as well as new series (like Rick and Morty, Robot Chicken, Flying Lotus X, and YOLO: Crystal Fantasy), and so much more.
