Keep an eye on the website https:\/\/dublin2019.com\/location\/hotels-accommodation\/; hotel rates will be released on January 9, 2019.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019d like to get a jump start on planning your lodging, I\u2019m considering renting a seven bedroom, 12 beds of various sizes, three bathrooms, three story home, with a very large kitchen. While not within walking distance to the Convention Centre, it offers a 5 minute walk to a Tram station, where the tram will drop you off at the Convention Centre itself. Dividing the total cost by rooms (instead of beds), this looks to be about US$130 per night. This is NOT an official THS-planned offer, but a house of Heinleiners may (or may not) be a good place to start. If you\u2019re interested, please reach out to Keith Kato. <\/p>\n<p>Also not an official THS planned offer (but should still be really fun!): A theater party on Wednesday, 14 August 2019, at 7:30 PM at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, to see the famous Irish dance show \u201cRiverdance.\u201d This is the evening before Worldcon begins. \u201cRiverdance\u201d is observing its 25th Anniversary in 2019, and the show itself will be running during the Worldcon.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested, TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW with wide open seat locations and even \u201cearly bird\u201d prices. Individuals will take care of their own tickets, and the group would likely gather for dinner, see the show, and maybe hit a pub afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Again, neither the housing nor theater party are THS projects. However, interested parties can email membershiprenewal@heinleinsociety.org and they will forward messages to me to coordinate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Keith Kato Who\u2019s ready to plan for next year!
