Anyone from boards want to meet up for this? Don't really fancy going to this on my own

Butterscotch

Awh I was going to go but I am not feeling the best and I have alot to study.

If they are having it on again I would be happy to meet up from a few here and go. The crowd who run these screenings are very friendly and are happy to chat to you but I know how hard it can be to go on your own.

The Irish Japanese Film Festival runs November 6th - 20th.

No problem, i have to be honest this post is still the most accurate source of generic information for such events, I went in a local shop on Saturday (will not make any name) and they were not able to provide any information, so I was quite desperate.... ....

grumpig

I know this will be very random but will any of these conventions have mirai nikki merchandise?XD Iv been to 2 conventions this year and there werent any XD

Rather than starting a new thread . . . anyone know what the ticket situation is with nom con?

I see pre-reg has closed, will I have to chance rejection at the door or will I be able to buy tickets online again close to the date?

TheChrisD

There shouldn't be much chance of being denied at the door, I don't think Nom will have the same capacity issues as Arcade, but on the safe side keep an eye on their Facebook page in case that changes.

Online pre-reg almost certainly won't re-open.

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.

everdead.ie

Akumon in NUIG is 17-19th of January anyone ever been considering going myself.

Gunmonkey
