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!

Jealous iz me. Was last in Ireland in 1990.

Is beautiful there.
Yes, it so is.
How very exciting! That is MOST excellent! Have heaps of fun. It is my hope that you will be billed as the HUGO award-winning author by that point.
I hope so, too!
HUZZAH AND OMG
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Hurrah!
I am SO EXCITED OMG.
Ohh, that's so exciting! We were planning on going to WorldCon and then doing some travelling before/after (I've never been to England etc. and have a list of places about a mile long I want to see!) but may have to rearrange plans to take in Dublin this time instead of next!
You should!
Wonderful news! *is oficially jealous* Expect a full trip report.
Absolutely.
Congratulations! This qualifies awesome even by Sir Terry Pratchett's standards--or it should. :D
Hee.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Oooooo! That's AWESOME. :D
I am so excited.
I *almost* went to Ireland in December 2010, but then was cancelled by snow. I'm *still* devastated about this. I might have to make Plans for 2014..... This might happen.
It should.
Wow, congratulations! Sadly, I think airfare to Ireland is out of our price range even with a couple of years to save up, but that's awesome news! I hope you have a blast.
I will eat ALL THE CHEESE.
I am happy for you beyond words!
Squee, says I.
Hopefully "Guest of Honour" means they'll provide you with a tiara & sceptre ;-) And if you haven't written about leprechauns and other mythical Irish creatures, here's your chance ;-)
*eyes Toby books*

I think I'm good.

Woot!
Glee.
Hey, all the cool people I know who don't live close enough for that to be a quick trip would be making similarly excited noises. Including me. So Yay! for you.
Glee!
Yay! We will try and get over to see you there (we'll be at the Worldcon but probably working working working since I am probably part of the Green Room team).
That would be fab.
