Chrons Dublin and Belfast cluster meet -2019

[Abernovo]

You guys all look frikkin' amazing.

Aww, bless you! We missed your presence. But your chocs were awesome!

 

[Abernovo]

A brilliant couple of back-to-back conventions. Final day today, with a Road Trip!!

Last night, Chrispy, J-Wo, Jo Zebedee, Juliana, Ursa, and I went out for a Chrons meal. Great just to sit down and chat, even if the restaurant was very busy and a touch loud. No pics from me, as my phone was charging, but (I hope) a great time was had by all.

And, a huge thanks to Jo for all the organising and coordinating she did to arrange so much of this two-week meet-up. In case anyone is not aware, she is pretty amazing, and a really cool person.

She is also exhausted and everyone was amazing and lovely

There is no adequate way to express just how much Jo and Kerry have made this a special visit to Ireland for me and for others.

On top of their own obligations to both WorldCon and (in particular) TitanCon/Eurocon, they (and their families) have gone literally more than the extra mile to make the experience one that will be hard to forget in terms of the joy and hospitality that they have been bestowing on others, and on their own initiative.

Truly the world is a better place for their being here.

What Ursa said.

Ursa, Chrispy and I went on a road trip today, driven around by Kerry, and her husband. A mediaeval castle,

lunch in a beautiful harbour at the bottom of cliffs,

a bit more sightseeing,

and then a trip to Bushmills Distillery.

Fraser and I had a wonderful time today, sharing our favourite places with three lovely people.
And tasting whiskey...

It has been an absolute pleasure to meet everyone and spend time together

 

[Juliana]

It really has been lovely getting to meet everyone and I agree that Jo and Kerry have been wonderful hosts!

Here’s one from today - I was on the official coach tour and not Coach Kerry but we did manage to meet up at one point!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I am laughing at the gorgeous pics cos some of us also visited a medieval castle this week in the absolute pouring wind and rain. I did what all good Irish people do and took us all to the nearest pub!

Last night’s dinner was a really nice way to end the con

@Jo Zebedee I had a picture fail when looking at your post, but now that I am replying the pics are seen on this post. Go figure! Everyone looks like they are having a good time.

 

[Garfunkel]

I had a blast at Titancon.

It was especially lovely to meet a bunch of people from the forum and I hope I'll see you all again at a future convention or event!

 

[Ursa major]

Everyone looks like they are having a good time.

That's entirely because we are.

Just an image to show the rapt audience (including a couple of Chronners) at the Distaff launch:

By the way, there were a number of less formal sculptures dotted around Dublin and Belfast, not the least of which was one near the TitanCon venue that consisted of a shepherd and his sheep, ones who look rather less keen on walking forward than he does:

​

Perhaps the sculptor should have included a sheepdog....

Just wanting to join in with the other visiting Chronics on our magnificent treatment by our local representatives - massive thanks to you all.
