A book bound in old yellow fabric sits on a gradated background. It reads, in red ink, Dracula By Bram Stoker. This is a photo of a first edition, first issue copy of the novel sold for USD8,125 in 2019.

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

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.

A light blue circular graphic on a gradiated blue/white background, with the Dublin 2029 bid logo in the centre. Encircling it are the words 'Dublin 2029.ie' and two stylised harp icons

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!

A photo a man standing in a library in front of some book shelves and wearing dark green Dublin2029 tshirt. He is smiling and looking at a book in his hand, which is titled “Best of Ireland”. He is a tall man with long loose brown hair, glasses, and a short grey beard. He is wearing a green short-sleeved tshirt with the Dublin2029 logo. The logo shows a figure poised to step into a new world in a large D written in old celtic style script. The blue and green reflects both Dublin's and Ireland's colours. Underneath the bid logo text is blue text reading "Dublin 2029, our crossroads lit by stories and stars".

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

@octocon.bsky.social - octocon.com - is on tomorrow (in person in the Maldron, Tallaght and online) and Sunday (online) and it's going to be great. I'll be there on Saturday, primarily talking about the @dublin2029.bsky.social Worldcon Bid, and lots of other SFF stuff! :) Hope to see people there!

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.

Text on a background image of a building, with a logo beneath. The text says: Let's talk Dublin in 2029! 3pm Saturday. The background image is a shot of the Mauldron Hotel, Tallaght, where Octocon is on, taken on a sunny day with clear blue skies. It is a modern multi-story building with lots of straight lines and glass in the frontage. In the middle of the image is the Dublin2029 logo. The logo shows a figure poised to step into a new world in a large D written in old celtic style script. The blue and green in the logo reflects both Dublin's and Ireland's colours. Underneath the bid logo text is white text reading "Dublin 2029, our crossroads lit by stories and stars".

Fancy a chat about #Dublin2029 at Octocon?
