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

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

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.

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.
I recommend the Dublin Literary Bar Crawl
If you're a whisky drinker, I enjoyed the Jameson Whisky Blending Class The tour is supposed to be fun as well.

The tour is supposed to be fun as well.
Emmett did the Jameson tour this summer and loved it.

The Jameson tour is fun but we thought Teeling was more interesting. And they are making the whiskey right there in Dublin (the only distillery that is).

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm not sure how much I'll actually accomplish with jet lag, but now I have options.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I should have asked earlier, but because I'm there for work this year it slipped my mind as an actual fun event - anyone flying in for NYCC this weekend?

I am actually flying to NYC tonight but for the BTS concert at CitiField, not NYCC. I am pretty much totally booked as I am staying with family and then going to the concert and then sleeping and then leaving, but I will be thinking of my NYCistas!
