Hi Jef,
its on from the 14th to the 16th. The 14th (friday night) will prob just be a social and the 16th might be just hanging out, I'm not on the organising group so I'm not sure exactly whats planned yet. (The Mondays a bank holiday here so Sunday could well involve some drinking...). Still, if you have the time it should be good fun for the weekend.
If anyone else wants to be put up you can pm me. I'll comment on this thread when we don't have any room left.
for people who don't fancy staying with WSM members and friends, or who are too late to get floorspace here's a c&p from the 2006 bookfair blogspot:
The cheapest option is to stay in a youth hostels and there are many in the city. The two below are both in the city centre and within walking distance of the Bookfair venue [the bookfair is being held in the Liberties, in the south inner city, about 5-10 minutes walk from Christchurch cathedral)
http://www.avalon-house.ie/ (dorms from 15 euro, 4 person and single rooms available)
http://www.kinlayhouse.ie/ (dorms from 19 euros, 4 person and single rooms available)
Hotels cost more.
The Jurys Inn at Christchurch (not the other one) costs 89 euro a room a night, but rooms sleep three. It is about 5-10 minutes walk from the venue.

Dublin is full of hotels and hostels, but rooms can go quickly. More information at the Irish Tourist Board website http://www.ireland.ie/accomodation.asp
what, like the time (last Saturday) when people from the wsm went to Belfast to meet some contacts, arranged to meet someone from Organise! while up there and had a few pints with them?Real sneaky.
Oh come on the rest of us had no clue. Given at least 3 of Organise post on here every single dayif you'd wanted to hang out with us I'm sure you'd have said. as it were we'd no clue.
Dublin bookfair - aye I'll be going.

hmmm, so we can't set foot in the city without contacting everyone in Organise? Jaysus... Oh, and when speaking to the member of Organise! (in his capacity as a member of Organise!) one of the things we wanted to do was let ye know what we were up to - not that its strictly necessary but more so that it wouldn't rub anyone up the wrong way or cause any problems. That might not have worked out eh?
I'll probably be heading back up in the New Year, sure if you're all so keen I can stay up and go drinking with ye then. Its the sneaky accusation that annoys me.
Boul - tried to phone you, says yer number is temporarilaly out of contact or something. Sure give me a bell if this is an issue for you.
Or, if as I've been told they wanted to let us know to avoid appearing 'sneaky' perhaps using our organisations email address to give us a shout would have worked. No-one's demanded that you inform every individual in Organise! but letting on Organise! were contacted and someone was spoken to on behalf of Organise! when thats not the case is my issue with this.
That and youse taking a huff and deciding not to contact me cos I said some stuff on here youse didn't like about platformism - a deliberate lets not tell him lets tell Bobby instead 
Does no one else find the ! at the end of Organise! a tad embarassing? Especially when it appears several times in a sentence like
"No-one's demanded that you inform every individual in Organise! but letting on Organise! were contacted and someone was spoken to on behalf of Organise! when thats not the case is my issue with this."
US West Coast dockers who struck against the war on May 1st now face a legal threat from their employers.

Howard Zinn's short history of the war in Vietnam from the beginning of the Communist insurgency in 1957 until the defeat of US and South Vietnamese forces in 1975.
Spectacularly tedious radio 'personality' Chris Moyles crossed the picket lines of his colleagues during the 2005 BBC strike against 4,000 job cuts.
I can't find the thread where someone said they'd put me up and I have no idea when this is but I've got a little bit of cash right now so I'd like to book a cheap flight as soon as possible.
I might get the chance to sing the orange version of the wearing of the green that I thought up on the train before the last bookfair
ps WSM I won't be absolutely skint like last time
