I believe I will be, yes It's one of my favourite things to do, even if I usually end up with about 4 people in the audience -- all from the BwB!

If you have a timeline for the decision-making process, I'd really appreciate it. Sorry, I don't know what the timeline is at the moment. My involvement is fairly peripheral. I'm sure it won't be long before we find out, though. A lot of authors are querying the programme team about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peadar Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 OK, I just got my final programme. @Quaithe from Asshai , this probably means George has his too and I'd expect him to publicise it over on his blog any time now. @Wolfgang I My own reading is on Sunday at 11am. You can watch it just before you go to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it will be at Dublin's website in the next week or two, once everyone has had a chance to weigh in on any last minute tweaks they need due to scheduling issues.

Corvinus85 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 And I'm going to miss Peadar's reading. I hope I don't miss George's reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. A few people need to confirm they are happy with their programme. So, there is still a chance that things might change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That said, here's what Linda and I are up to at Worldcon, barring any changes: Thursday 5PM Autograph Session (Linda & I, among others; this is going to be probably the surest way to get our scrawls on your TWoIaF to go along with GRRM's whenever his autograph session is) 9PM Horses for Writers (Linda) Saturday 12PM Building Communities (Me) 5PM Game of Thrones and its End (Linda, and also Werthead and Charlie Jane Anders if there are no changes of plans) Sunday 3PM Creating Healthy Communities (Me -- I admit, the description of this one and the one before it seem very similar! That said, I'm the only panelist in common, so it's bound to be somewhat different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dragon Demands Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I've met Charlie Jane Anders a few times at local bookstore events in New York City. I gave her a 30 page printout infopack on the Valyria prequel (if it comes up in conversation: "this crazy guy tried to hand me this leak dossier") (Shrug) it was worth a try. It's the same one I already shared with Werthead and others. But the end of Game of Thrones is easy to explain: 'We reconceived the role to make it worthy of the actor's talents: to show off these performances and these faces". Once you...unfocus your mind and think down to Benioff's level, of pure moment to moment impulse, you see the pattern (sort of like how book-Cersei's actions don't make sense until you read her POV chapters and realize she isn't thinking long-term like a normal person).

I should probably think of booking my transport at some point! Rest assured, I am going to both cons and at least have the accommodation sorted. Just saw this, but we are now thinking of going Monday morning (earliest slot available, most likely) - you'd be the fifth in our group if that works for you!

Ahhh, earliest slot available.... well.... it's not likely I will manage that. Are they limited? If they're not then I'll just see what time I wake up on the day. If the tickets are limited then I would have to pass on an early morning Monday slot. You know... experience ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi everyone, I’m kind of impress… With other members of « la Garde de Nuit », the French fan’s website of ASOIAF, I will attend the Worldcon in Dublin (and I can’t wait to be there). We would be very delighted to meet fans from everywhere and maybe share an ale (or two !) with you. Let me know if some of you are interested by a meeting and / or if events are already scheduled. As I said, I’m french, so I apologize by advance for my…. french. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Will there be some kind of group meeting/ meal together/ whatever this year? As we're all spread out accomodation wise I'm not sure how to meet up with most of you. You could come and look for me at the info desk, though, as I'm volunteering there again. Looking forward to seeing you all and hopefully managing to attend some panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to speak for everybody, but my experience with the BwB is that we are *always" delighted to meet our counterparts from anywhere in the world. You will be very welcome in Dublin.

Looking forward to seeing you all and hopefully managing to attend some panels. I'd expect you'd find at least some BwB members hanging out together every night to go to restaurants, etc., often with people posting here or just organising informally. However, it would be great if we could organise an official meet-'n'-greet, say, on the Thursday. (I've heard no word about an actual BwB party but I stand ready to help in any way I can, including organising a venue if no plans yet exist, but I need to know very soon as I would want to get to Dublin in advance.) Anyway, I'm always up for food/beer/whatever. This goes to anyone: PM me if you're new to the Ireland/UK side of the BwB and want to swap contact details so I can keep you informed of anything spontaneous.

I would be up for a group meetup on Thursday. I know there is a Wild Cards trivia panel with GRRM and Peadar on Thursday afternoon which presumably a number of people from here might go to. Arranging something after that might be doable since a number of us would already be grouped together for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
