This week's hosts: Cathal, Sean & Mary
This week the party provide a "well informed" preview of the
upcoming QCon convention (16-18 July Queens University Belfast), no
wild speculation here!
Show Notes:
- 01:06 QCon is on from the 16th to the 18th of June, Look at us giving useful information.
- 02:05 Ah Nostalgia, it will NEVER be as good as it was, regardless of what "it" is.

- 03:05 This is where we offer valuable Con advice on bucket requirements and realise we are all very, very poor.
- 04:35 COSPLAY!!!
- 05:10 I clearly know nothing about Cosplay, I didn't realise it was tied specifically to anime!
