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!

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!

seanan_mcguire

April 30 2012, 20:18:23 UTC 5 years ago

You should!

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.

seanan_mcguire

April 30 2012, 20:19:10 UTC 5 years ago

It should.

groblek

April 29 2012, 04:49:15 UTC 5 years ago

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.

seanan_mcguire

April 30 2012, 20:19:22 UTC 5 years ago

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 ;-)

seanan_mcguire

*eyes Toby books*

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.

seanan_mcguire

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).

seanan_mcguire

April 30 2012, 20:20:18 UTC 5 years ago
