Silverstar Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think the idea of Ned Stark wandering about wearing an "I Blame Pod" badge is just too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacMac30 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi,I'm arriving the Tuesday morning and was wondering if there were any plans to meet up prior to the signing on Tuesday? I know some of you are arriving Monday night and will probably travel to the signing together. Are there any other late arrivals like myself?Jackie.

Silverstar Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 serMountainGoat and I are both arriving Tuesday morning, and are planning to meet up at the airport then travel into the city together to meet everyone else. Are you flying into Belfast City? And at what time, if you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Is the Red Keep even in the pilot? Sounds like they only used Doune for the courtyard and great hall. Maybe this other castle will be the exterior and/or bedchambers/Bran's tower.And congrats Ace!If you get a cast member to wear a blame Pod shirt, we want pictures.... ;)Pretty sure there are no Blame Pod t-shirts just lying around. :PIn the pilot there is at least one scene in KL. But as you say, they may just be using another castle for Winterfell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you flying into Belfast City? And at what time, if you are?Unfortunately flights into Belfast City didn't work for me so I'll be coming into Belfast International just after 9am and busing into the city (30-40mins apparently). I'm hoping I can check into the hotel early, otherwise I'll be carrying the hand luggage with me to the signing. Just have to hope I don't accidentally pull my knickers out for George to sign! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So the plan is to meet in Linen House at around 10:30 to 11:00 and head over to Easons shortly afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_Jones Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well, sitting in mchughs typing away on my I phone and the place seems fantastic, very tradtional looking and just near Albert clock. Book place is about 2 blocks away less then 5min walk. Staff are friendly as an spoke to the manager who said he's looking forward to having us all. If Parris is reading this, the book store said if you want to get some sort of marketing or posters for them to hang for the signing please let them know. Look forward to meeting you all next week and if anyone gets stuck feel free to us my number (+4475 9496 4861) and I'll do what I can to help. Should also still have the hire car (hopefully) if you get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulocks Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Fantastic! I'm glad the location looks great.I had planned on waking up around 9 am, getting some breakfast somewhere nearby, and be back in time ( again 10:30 -11 am) to walk to Eason's with everyone else. If anyone wants to join us in getting some breakfast, you are of course invited as well. :)I heard some people talking recently about this place called Maggie May I's? Something to that extent. They said the food was really good for the price. I have no idea how far away it is from the hostel/book store though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how far away it is from the hostel/book store though.According to the power of Google Earth it's about 2km from the hostle with Easons halfway between the hostel and Maggie May's. Looks nice, but not sure if I want to be lugging books to be signed that far first thing* in the day :)If the food's really awesome though, it may be worth it. What do people think?* Unemployed, so any time with 'am' in it translates as first thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 This map may also be of help as it shows the Europa Bus Centre (where the bus from the airport gets in), Easons, McHughes and the Linen House. Maggie May's is off the bottom of the map somewhere.This one also incorporates Maggie May's and the Paint Hall in the far corner. Sadly, at this scale, the automated sentry robots equipped with lasers and flamethrowers to deal with overzealous fans are not quite visible.

Romulocks Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I think the Linen House will store luggage for you for a brief time. I just take my personal items on me at all times.I was going to leave my luggage and stroll down to Maggie's, then come back for whatever I need to take to the signing (books, sharpie's, etc).

iboyd Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I will definitely be at the signing and would love to go McHugh's. I read Game of Thrones recently and have only started Clash of Kings, I hope no one will hold this against me. I am going on my own but I live in Belfast so if anyone is meeting up after the signing, just let me know, I'd be interested in doing so if I can get out of my classes that day.Ian.

Renasko Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Ah man, this totally flew by me. Hah. George's latest blog post was a nice reminder. :DOkay, so I'll try and be in Belfast for Tuesday afternoon. A relatively brief journey required, considering I live less than an hour away (depending on traffic). :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedkarstark Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I thought that I would post that I just found out that my godson is going to be an extra!! He is 8 years old and will be probably in one of the court scenes. He is into swords and sorcery :fence:, so he should enjoy the part... almost as much as I'm looking forward to him being in it.The location of his filming (and other information on locations of filming that I have heard) I am keeping to myself.

Ran Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Very cool, thank you ned. Congratulations to your godson. :) I recall George has stated that Prince Tommen is being played by an extra, and that's about the right age... though doubtless there are other youngsters about in the background of some scenes.
