    Thanks, I wasn't at arcade con (unfortunately learnt about it afterwards only) but friends didn't get into comic con, makes me think planning a head is a must for these sort of things.

    Comic Con was a fair oddball in terms of conventions in this country; there's not too much correlation between how they worked, and how the anime/manga/gaming cons work.

    Ok, it seemed chaotic but it was their first year. This is going to be the third year of nom con.

    I only moved to Dublin in march and I am impressed with the amount of cons, so I definitely want to get to a few. I am more into gaming than anime but I like the scene.

    So, this thread is basically going to be an index with links to threads for all the upcoming cons in Ireland. This thread will be the sticky but if you have questions or comments on any of the individual cons PLEASE post in that con's own thread.

    Hopefully this will clean up the front page of the forum a bit :)
