Om konventet:
An orange leaf drifts down on the first crisp evening of a long, cool Autumn.
An outrageously handsome man in a chunky Aran sweater leans against a fence post, pointing casually offscreen, his hand holding a whiskey glass.
Cigarette raised elegantly to her lips (even though it’s no longer politically acceptable) a stylish woman with an improbably tall hairstyle breezes past a large of group of admirers leaving them to wonder... what’s that scent she’s wearing?
That’s right, friends. It’s that Gaelcon feeling.
When they first pitched this idea to me, I was sceptical. I thought “no way is this going to work. This is crazy.
They’re crazy.” But my good friend Stephen kept saying “this is gonna make us a million dollars.” And he was... you know what? I’ve gotten mixed up with Star Wars. Hang on, let me think. What am I supposed to be doing?
Oh yes. Gaelcon. And, specifically, that Gaelcon feeling. The pleasing creak and smell of shelves full of leatherbound RPGs. The hustle and bustle of the CCGs room. The seductive, silky manliness of the Wargames tables.
The hum and buzz of commerce around the Trade stalls. Boardgames stacked to the ceiling. LARPers adding a touch of class for the rest of us. The Pub Quiz. The Charity Auction. The Special Events. The GAMES.
Yes, the games. Because that’s what we’re all here for. That’s why we do this.
Look around. Have fun.
