You are cordially invited to Gaelcon's 21st Birthday parties...

Nevyn

Yes parties, for as we know all good things come in threes and for three nights there will be revels. Saturday and Sunday in Howl at the moon and then Monday post con drinks in Cassidy's.


Gaelcon celebrates its 21st birthday this year so, of course, we're ready to party!

For those of you who have had your gaming fix sated during the day at Gaelcon and don't want to continue rolling your dice on into the darkness with the late night games slot, we're planning a whole bunch of night time social fun for the convention!

The festivities begin from 8pm with the Gaelcon Pub Quiz on Saturday and the award-winning Charity Auction on Sunday - both taking place at the convention centre.

These will be followed on both nights by a mass exodus to the Gaelcon Club - Howl at the Moon on Lower Mount Street! In this luxurious venue, there are four floors of bars, including an underground bar (The Zimmer Room) and a heated roof terrace - it's looking to be a lot of fun.

The Monday evening slot begins with the closing ceremony at 7pm and continues with a more relaxed night in Cassidy's on Westmoreland Street.

Be sure to arrive before 11.30pm on Saturday night to avoid cover charge. No charge on Sunday. club winds down at 2.30am. Costumes are welcome. Bring ID!



Howl at the Moon is only an 11 minute walk from D4hotels in mostly a straight line ( or you can jump on a bus ) there and it is halfway from Gaelcon to where the nitelinks leave.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Gaelcon is proud to announce a performance of Josh Weldon's Emmy award winning Dr Horrible's Sing a Long Blog.

The performance will take place in the main all of the D4hotel's conference centre at 6:30 pm on Sunday the 25th of October
and is affiliated with Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009.

The performance is free to all those attending Gaelcon but there will be a collection box and for those wishing to attend
just to see the performance there are Horrible tickets which will cost 4 euro.

All funds raised by this will be going to charity, 75% to Equality Now and 25% to Gaelcon's award winning charity endeavours.

Looking forward to see you there, it will be shiny.

Was doing my pre-con homework, and realised that Howl at the Moon is an over 21s venue - was the committee aware of this? A lot of gamers (myself included) are between 18 and 21, and it seems a bit unfair to have the post con party in a venue they can't attend.

The venue are going to let those who are over 18s as long as they are vouched for at the door as being Gaelcon attendees and have ID with them to prove they are over 18.

We're gonna be at Gaelcon
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I'm gonna be at Gaelcon
with lots to do and I know where to go-o-oh I'm gonna be at Gaelcon
Just get me to the convention put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
Quickly Cthulhu is after me and I've lost my dice again
Oh no no no no no

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I'm gonna be at Gaelcon
with lots to do and I know where to go-o-oh I'm gonna be at Gaelcon
Just put me in a snottling pump wagon, here come the fanatics again
Hurry hurry hurry before I become a bloodstain
I wonder if Felix really knows, what goes on in Gotrex's brain
Oh no no no no no

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I'm gonna be at Gaelcon
with lots to do and I know where to go-o-oh I'm gonna be at Gaelcon
Just let me roll my d20 and loose my arrow
Hurry hurry hurry Drow coming up from below
Cos Dark Night and pumpkin Jack are after me and you don't want to know
Oh no no no no no

Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba we're gonna be at Gaelcon
Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba we're gonna be at Gaelcon
Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba we're gonna be at Gaelcon
Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba we're gonna be at Gaelcon

what a weekend was great to meet many of you there.
Can't believe it's over, I am shattered.

Undergod

Had a very fun time at Gaelcon. Thoroughly enjoyed my first larp.

BlankRandom

Had a brilliant time at Gaelcon! Not only was it my first (so to everyone I met there, yes, you were my first) but it was the official end to a 10 year dry spell!

Met some very interesting people there, and I'm looking forward to keeping some of these conversations going, and dare I say, even find a regular game?

Well if you find you don't connect with people here to find what you are looking for there is also the igaming list in yahoo groups

BlankRandom

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check that out.

It was a Dark Heresy larp, part of an ongoing game run by the IGA apparently. Less of the people in costumes hitting each other with fake swords (as seen on tv) and more just improv theatre with a political intrigue storyline.

That is what most LARP in this country tends to be.

Now I know!

Nevyn

Due to insurance issues rubber swordy hitty larp tends not to happen at conventions any more how ever Jumptech does use nerf guns as it is a scifi larp.

The 3 hours slots which larps run in at cons tends to mean they are political/mystery/summit type affairs.

Raphael

With the notable exception of Vaticon, of course.

Nevyn

Warpcon used to run melees but it was stopped, is Vaticon still doing the intro to rubberswordy?

Raphael

Yeah, there's still a rubber sword LARP on the sunday afternoon. Has been for the last 3 years at least.
