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!

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.)

Nope. I use industrial construction-strength earplugs and blackout curtains, and I still wake up constantly. White noise generators actually keep me awake.
