Nice one Otter!
I may be able to make this, not too far of a drive, I will shoot them a mail tonight.
It will be interesting to see what sort of line up they produce.

Will be keeping an eye on this thread...
A bit of a drive for me, but I could be persuaded to attend if the line-up is decent.

It's nice to have a con so close. So I'm definitely going to pop in for a few hours.
Ireland is really spoiled this summer with comic talent.

Gail Simone at Octocon, Charlie Adlard at Dublin Comic Con and Doug Braithwaite and Greg Capullo at DICE.

Of course they wait till I move to Swansea to hold a con in my home town.

Seems I was the only thing holding them back  :D

According to the twitter account (https://twitter.com/LimerickCon2013), the event has been postponed.  :(

There was a comic mart in Ennis on the 23rd...anybody go to that?

On a better note I have booked a table at 2D in Derry for the saturday of the weekend, really looking forward to that.

I'm not sure if anyone's approached us for this or not (or vice versa).

I'll have to check with Steve S.

Thats a shame.
Think I'll make D2 this year, so maybe it's for the best that my wallet doesnt get depleted before that.

Also, the line-up for DICE 2013 is looking promising for September too.
PJ Holden has just signed on for DICE...i'll be hounding him for a Dredd sketch this year!

Sad to see that this isn't going ahead, but DICE looks like it'll be a lot of fun this year , so I'll definitely be at that.
