Happy Holidays from all of us at Dublin2029! To help celebrate here are some fun holiday traditions you can find in Dublin 🎊 (1/5)

After some glögg, we continue the SMOFcon 42 Fannish Q&A, with the bid for @dublin2029.bsky.social

This weekend's SMOFcon 42 Con Suite is sponsored by @dublin2029.bsky.social. Stop by for snacks including fruit and vegetables, as well as conversation. This afternoon's glöggmingel is sponsored by @montrealworldcon27.bsky.social. Our full list of sponsors is here: www.smofcon42.com/about-us/spo...

Stockholm here we come! We’re at #SMOFcon42 from 5-7 Dec, with bids from Portugal, Poland, Canada, Norway, Scotland, France & Germany. Ask #Dublin2029 questions at the Q&A (12.00 - 16.00 WET/13.00 - 17.00 CET on Sat) or join us at the International Party (from 18.00 WET). Will we see you there?

Tested for toughness! How did our Dublin2029 t-shirts get through their big day out at Thorpe Park? We’re pleased to hear they passed with flying (and sometimes damp) colours, and were found to be “super comfy, even after being soaked to the bone”. Take us with you next time?

Did you catch us at Luncon/Swecon last month? We had a great time at the convention and meeting all of you! And we were also at 3 great Irish events - Octocon, Gaelcon and the Irish Discworld Con. Here’s our very own Thomas Rechtenwald repping Berlin’s Eurocon and our Dublin Worldcon - hard work!

See you in the UK this weekend? We’ll be popping up at Pictcon1 (Perth, Scotland) and Novacon (Buxton, England). If you spot us, say hello. And do tag us if you take a photo, we’d love to see it! Novacon is from 7-9 November 2025 - you can check it out here: novacon.uk #Dublin2029 #WorldconBid

Want to follow in Dracula’s footsteps while you’re at #Dublin2029? Here’s some places known for their connection to Bram Stroker 🧵 (1/3)

And today in random encounters with children: A lady dropping her daughter off at swimming lesson who compliments me on my Helsinki Worldcon shirt. She is pleased to hear about @dublin2029.bsky.social and perhaps we will see each other there.

If you’re on Redbubble, make sure you’re buying from the real Dublin2029. We’re seeing imitation merch pop up, and, while they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we don’t want you to end up with a low-res copy of our lovely bid logo (1/2)

The first three requests we got at the @dublin2029.bsky.social Q&A at Seattle this summer were all along the lines of “but you’ll be sure to have the IVGO back if you win, right? Right?” Definitely a group to support and a stream to catch!

Ready for the “Best of Ireland”? This #Dublin2029 t-shirt is well-prepared to visit its homeland and we can’t wait to welcome it back. Are you already rocking one? Send us a photo - we’d love to see it! (1/2)

Had a great time meeting everyone at @octocon.bsky.social yesterday - looking forward to seeing you online today!

Let's talk about Dublin's 2029 Worldcon bid! Our bid chairs, Marguerite and Brian, are inviting you here to our meet up at Octocon, at 3pm on Saturday in the Grain and Grill bar. We hope we see you there.

Fancy a chat about #Dublin2029 at Octocon? Call into the Grain & Grill bar at 3pm today to meet some of the Dublin 2029 team, ask questions about the bid and to talk about exciting ideas and volunteering opportunities. We’d love to see you!

Meet us in the wild! We’ll be unrolling our banner at both LunCon/SweCon and Buchmessecon this October - if you spot us tag us online or DM us a photo, we’d love to hear from you! Did you see us at LACon? Here’s our well-travelled banner, chilling out at Capclave in September (1/3)

The first sighting of a #Dublin2029 t-shirt in the wild! Thank you to Tommy for sharing this - we think it looks great and apparently it’s nice and comfy too. Are you already rocking a Dublin2029 design? Send us a photo - we’d love to see it! (1/2)
