I'm going to IRELAND!

...so yeah. This is going to be one of those moments where Seanan Is Not Cool, Yo. So:

I'M GOING TO IRELAND YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!

Ahem.

I am pleased to announce that Dublin has won their bid for the 2014 Eurocon, to be called "ShamroKon." It will be held the week after the London WorldCon, thus allowing anyone with extra vacation time to do two awesome conventions for the price of one. And guess who one of their Guests of Honor is?

Oh, you're all good guessers.

So I'm going to Ireland! For only the second time ever, and for the first time in well over ten years. I am like, super-excited, and totally honored, and this is going to be the best! Convention! EVER!!!!!!!

More information to come, but mark your calendars now!

I have never been to Ireland.

Yet,

See you there!
YAY!

I'll answer your email as soon as I'm home and can see my schedules, by the way. I fly back tomorrow.

Yay! Ireland is awesome and I love it to pieces.
I'm excited.
That sounds like an awesome plan. Maybe I can even make it there, then!
Yay!

Yeeha~! Congratulations, and HAIL! XD
HAIL!
The combination of Worldcon and ShamroKon is incredibly tempting, and almost certainly outside the realm of the practical and possible. Have a wonderful time!
I totally will!
DEEEEEEEEEEEEE SO AWESOME!

Plus I bet they set a new record for people pronouncing your name right on the first try.
I KNOW RIGHT?!

Like, "Seanan, that's a nice, normal, totally predictable name."

I'm going too at some point in the next few months, just not sure when. If I'm around for ShamroKon, I'll totally see you there.
Awesome!

That's very cool. Congratulations. I've never been to Ireland, though I've been to England and Wales a few times (and Scotland). Are you going to the Brighton WFC, by any chance?
Don't know yet. So much depends on what happens with my day job, including whether I continue to have one.

Are you going as a writer guest of honor? However they want you, I'm totally jazzed for you and totally jealous.
I am.
Wooo! That's awesome!

Also, I totally want to go to Ireland. :)
Seriously.
Congratulations!
Thank you!

Sad but true.

I hope so!
WOohoo for you :)
Yes!
Fantastic!
I am delighted.
woo!
Glee.
Ooh, I saw you post on twitter but didn't realise you were a guest, that is awesome and congratulations!

Are you planning on doing the worldcon, too? I'll definitely be at that, (but have been doing a job job of not getting involved in organising it, go me!) not sure I'll be able to swing ShamroKon, considering the proximity it's less likely. But I do love Dublin...
I am!

Excellent! I'm so happy for you!
I'm thrilled.
WOW. That sounds like amazing good fun. :D solarbird and I were already planning to aim for the London Worldcon. Now we may have to cast a thoughtful eye in the direction of Dublin, too!
Awesome!
Congratulations! Are you going as an international guest or author guest?
Author guest.

Unless he has funds, it's a no-go, sadly. I can only go because I'm a guest, and hence paid for. (Especially because we can't share a room. I am a very light sleeper, and anyone who snores or uses a CPAP is out.)
