Coming to Ireland

  • Sep. 22nd, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Spain
Arrangements are still being worked out, but I have some tentative dates and times for my appearances in Ireland in November.

On Tuesday, November 3, I will be speaking and signing at Eason's Bookstore in Belfast. The event begins at 1:00 pm. Or 1300 for you European types.

On Thursday, November 5, I will be at Eason's on O'Connell Street in Dublin. This event begins at 5:00 pm, or 1700.

More details when I have 'em.

There's a chance that David and/or Dan will drop by for the Belfast signing, and possibly some of the cast as well, but that's not certain. May depend on how the shoot is going, what's scheduled for that day, what's happening down at the Paint Hall, etc. If I get any news on that front, I'll be sure to pass it on.

These will be the first booksignings I've ever done in Ireland, so I don't know what sort of crowd to expect... but I'm looking forward to meeting some of my Irish readers. Pass the word.
  • Mood: pleased

I hope you have a great time. I got back from a trip to Ireland a few months ago, it really is a lovely place.

Wow what a nice treat for the people of Ireland. Not only do you get the signing, but the chance of some the actors showing up too. I see you having a very nice crowd for this.

Book signing and a chance to meet the cast and producers/writers of the show?

That might be worth a trip across the ocean...

The country of my birth!
Happy birthday brother. Stay cheerful and well travelled! I just refinished Feast of Crows this morning, and gasped at the date of that final personal note. I really look forward to the hazy exotic sheen of future Daenerys chapters

1300 and 1700 would be for army types :) 13:00 and 17:00 would fare well enough in Europe

I've just been watching Peter Dinklage in his 30 Rock appearances, this guy is perfect for Tyrion. Hopefully make-up can ugly him up a little, but seriously that's the only thing I can see being inadequate.

How exciting for you, can't wait to see the pilot :)

Oh fine.
You can go to Ireland, but you can't make it to Georgia. Geez.

Though, if I had to pick, I'd chose Ireland too.

You're making me miss Ireland. I spent 3 months in Dublin and I shopped at Eason a time or two, if I'm thinking of the right O'Connell Street book store (and I probably am since it was the only bookstore I saw in Dublin that was big enough to hold much of a signing event). I hope you have some time to enjoy Ireland while you're there, it's a beautiful country.

Ahh lucky! Wish I was still there! Make sure you stop by the Badass Cafe in Temple Bar, Dublin, for the best pizza in the world.

I've no doubt Ireland is a wonderful country but...

...it's VERY hard to believe that the best pizza in the world could be found outside Italy!

Come on now, George. You know perfectly well that in Ireland you are known as that guy who is always hanging around Parris...

Is there a possibility for a short trip to London (Forbidden Planet?)? That would be easier to reach from Germany.

please go over to the Westeros boards
and read the topics in the Brotherhood section on our trip. I put up some info about these signings and general info on book signings that may help you get a signed book even if you're not in the country at the time.

just click here for a shortcut

Hurray! I hope Easons will have a few copies of the Dying Earth anthology on hand. It would be a perfect occasion to get it.

Storage!
Just realised all my Martin books are in storage! Crikey - gonna have to go rummaging through boxes of books buried under piles of dusty furniture and dig 'em out for a signature! Ah, the joys of a collapsing houseing market, moving, etc. etc. etc. ...

Besides that though - can't wait! Eason's is a grand spot for a signing. Sometimes it's bedlam, sometimes quiet (depends on the author)... would be surprised if George doesn't pack the place to the rafters!

I'm kinda tempted to fly over to Belfast and see if you recognise me after knighting my head at Worldcon.
