Here’s a quick overview of a few current and forthcoming event here in Ireland for the rest of 2006, in roughly chronological order.
HORRORTHON: IFI 26 October – 30 October
The ninth annual Horrorthon film festival takes place in the Irish Film Institute, Eustace Street, Dublin 2 from the 26th October to 30th October 2006.
CORALINE: Various Venues October – November 2006
Neil Gaiman’s novel Coraline, adapted for the stage, and performed by Púca Puppets, is touring the country, and has been for a wee while now. You can catch it in the Project Arts Centre until the 28th of October, then in the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray, Co. Wicklow on the 1st of November, the Source Arts Centre in Thurles, Co. Tipperary on the 9th of November, and finally in the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Co. Meath from 16th November to 18th November.

Full details here.
BELFAST BOOK FAIR: 11 November
Michael Perkins of Queen’s SciFi says:
Just a quick note to let people know that the 24th Belfast Book Fair (promising “Paperbacks, hardbacks, novels and books on every conceivable subject”!) will be held in the Wellington Park Hotel, Malone Road, on Saturday 11th November from 10am – 5pm.
Admission is £2 (£1 concession).
ONE MAN STAR WARS: SPIRIT 13 November – 25 November
Charles Ross’s One Man Star Wars should be fairly self-explanatory. It’s running in Spirit on Middle Abbey Street for two weeks during November, and you can book tickets here
DUBLIN COMIC CON 25 November
I’ve already mentioned this here, but also wanted to mention that the previous night, Friday the 24th November, there will be a big Charity Table Quiz in aid of Crohn’s Disease.
John Hendrick of The 3rd Place says:
We’re hosting a pub quiz on Friday the 24th of November upstairs in the Bull and Castle Pub at Christchurch. It will be a selection of questions and topics from Comic Books to General Knowledge.
A table of 4 costs €40 and all the con guests will be attending so it’s your chance to get up close and personal for a beer with some of comics best writers and artists. Who, by the way will have their own team and have already boasted to me that they think they’re going to win this. What’s even better is all proceeds from the night are going to charity, so you can’t say fairer than that.
After the quiz we’ve got the venue for the night so we’ll be able to stay on there until the wee hours of the morning in preparation for the con the next day. Anyone interested in coming along should let me know and anyone who can’t get a full team together I’ll hook up with other participants.

There will be a SciFi Table Quiz on Tuesday 26th September in the Basement Bar of Doyle’s Bar on College Street, Dublin 2. Tables will cost €20 for a team of 4.
Questions will be on SF, Fantasy, Horror, TV, Movies, Comics, and much else besides. The proceeds from the quiz will go towards meeting a shortfall for last March’s P-CON, and to help defray costs for new Irish fanzine Puny Earthling, copies of which will be available at the quiz.

The Table Quiz to be held on Tuesday the 28th of June, as originally mentioned here has been postponed due to circumstances beyond our control (in other words, I haven’t got around to writing the questions yet.) The quiz will now take place at the end of August, and details will be posted online, and circulated as usual via the Irish SciFi News newsletter.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
