So. It's officially a thing now. The results just came through, even if the bid had been sort of unnoposed for a long time so it was just a default.
Anyway. I figure, it's the only chance I'll get to go to a wroldcon so I might aswell pop in to take a look. It is after all, a fairly different style of convention to the standard events that I've been involved in here.
The committe involved have never done anything of the scale before - Irish Science Fiction conventions are small affairs - though until recently there was a vibrant anime con scene with some big events, and there is also MCM massive bloody tradehall 'convention', along with the guys running DCC.
Appparently, they're bringing in ringers from London to help.
I'm in two mindsa about whether it'll be a clusterfuck or not - Octocon has always been small enouigh to be basically unnoticed by the country at large and go about its own way in peace and quiet. The concept of 'membership' to a convention even has to be explained to people just paying money at the door and expecting a weekend's entertainment.
Whatever else happens/. It'll be a grand pissup.________________________________
