Ghost of Nymeria: Flew into Dublin Thursday and met up at the airport with Iceman and Kama kama kama chameleon... Oh to have a theme song! Met the bros at Temple Bar to find the strangely Scots sound Dutch Zollo <more>


Interaction — August 4-8, 2005 — 63rd Worldcon
Glasgow — Scotland

My first Worldcon — actually, my first Con — and it was on home ground. So, naturally, I threw myself in at the deep end and helped organise the thing. And I'm so glad I did... <more>


ConQuesT 36 – May 27-29, 2005
Kansas City, Missouri – United States

Davos Seaworth: Having never been to a con before I was not completely sure what to expect, though reading Wordcon reports from past years had prepared me in a large way. In general I really enjoyed the con atmosphere... <more>

Boston, Massachusetts – United States

The second BwB Gathering in San Jose, California was a great step in our progression as a fan group. Building off of Philcon the year before, Parris offered greater support and guidance for our efforts in 2002... <more>

The Millennium Philcon - August 30 - September 3, 2001 - 59th Worldcon
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – United States

Philcon was the first Gathering of the BwB and marked the real genesis of the fan club. Everyone was in the same boat and asking themselves, "Am I really flying to a foreign city to meet up with people I met on an internet message board and hang out and talk about A Song of Ice and Fire?" - I was asking this as I was on my five-hour flight to Philadelphia from San Francisco... <more>
