Convention Updates

So it's official: Octocon 2010 will be taking place on the 16th and 17th of October 2010! It'll be taking place in the Camden Court Hotel in Dublin, and our Guest of Honour will be George R.R. Martin.

Wanna come and meet friends, old and new, sit in on panels with our wonderful guests, win lovely things, contribute to our charity auction and have a great time?

Of course you do! That's why we've made it easy with PayPal registration. Make with the clicky and get your membership today!

Spaces are strictly limited, and if any places are left, prices will be going up throughout the year until the con.

We look forward to seeing you there!

PS. The hotel has an Octocon room rate of €99 per night B&B if you book by phone! Yay!

Hi everybody! We just wanted to update you with some newsbits, just in case you thought we'd forgotten about you. ;)

Convention Updates

2010 dates are coming very soon. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for updates in this regard. We just need to make some final checks before we can announce everything. Thanks so much for being patient with us!

Once that's in order, PayPal will be going live again to take memberships. The prices will be increasing over the course of the year, so make sure you get your memberships early!

As for this Octocon past,  we do have to thank everyone that donated items to the charity auction and everyone that bid on them. We'll likely have a seperate post about this shortly, but we raised a significant sum of money for Achieve ABA and we couldn't have done it without all of you.

Guest Updates
