Irish Discworld
Sep. 5th, 2013 01:02 pmAs mentioned in a previous entry, I'd like to go to this year's Irish Discword Convention. But it's in Limerick. As such, I feel this is appropriate:
The Irish Discworld Convention.
Is the source of a small deal of tension.
It's in the middle of nowhere.
I can't even fly there.
It causes me great apprehension.
Or to add detail in place of scansion, I'd quite like to go, but it's in Limerick. The nearest airport in Shannon but I can't fly there from Amsterdam. Next nearest are Dublin and Cork. If Ireland had an integrated transport network, these would be fine, but it doesn't. The stations are miles away from the airports. The long distance bus services are far too slow.
I could hire a car. Be about €60. Probably about the same as a bus, train, taxi combo.
Could say "Hang it" and go to Vampire ball instead. For some reason that doesn't appeal so much this year. I think I'm more eager to meet people.
Incidentally - is anyone else going?
