It's a long shot, but I'll be in Helsinki from October 16-19. (Well, I'm coming in on the 15th and leaving on the 20th, but those days will be pretty much given to travel.) Any Suomalainen Buffistas around?
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Awesome! That sounds like excellent timing. I'll work on figuring out the logistics on that. Whee!

Still haven't figured out where I am staying in Boston area. I am overwhelmed by the options and not too clear on what makes the most sense.

I'm flying to Dublin on Friday for work. I'm probably only going to have some of Saturday and all day Sunday to do tourist stuff. Any recommendations? I've been to Trinity College to see the Long Room and the Book of Kells.

Oh! Go to one of the places with online streaming so you can wave to us. Other than that, I got nothing.

Yes! Temple Bar has a webcam outside and inside the bar of the same name (Temple Bar, in the neighborhood of Temple Bar).

Shrift! The Teeling Distillery tour was pretty awesome, if you're into whiskey. The Chester Beatty Library is amazing if you're into book art. The Kilmainham Gaol tour is well worth the trip. You need to book that in advance. We had an incredible dinner at Delahunt.

Uh if you visit the Oscar Wilde statue in St. Stephen's Green (which you should) I need you to look for a little leprachaun statue that was left for us there. We found the postcard that went with it but not the statue.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Definitely go round Temple Bar. Starting near there (I think) we took a boat tour of the River Liffey that was fun and informative and a nice way to rest our feet. Also, just East (I think) of Temple Bar, there's Ha'penny Bridge with all the love locks all over it, that's pretty cool.
I was told by an Irishwoman that I "have a lip on me" which apparently means I can hold me liquor. A higher compliment never received.
And the Angelus bells
O'er the Liffey swells,
Rang out in the foggy dew
