Ahoy there EASA attendees, devotees and manatees!
blank
There may be a whiff of a certain uncertainty in the air as oil prices skyrocket, banks collapse and credit dries up but not to worry, the good guys'n'gals of EASA Ireland will continue to fight the good fight on your behalf. EASA Ireland wholeheartedly believes that if there is one event that can reignite the global economy, offer hope to millions, defrost the hearts of despots in the spirit of international co-operation and promote peace in wartorn parts of the world..........it's probably the Olympics! EASA IRE 2008, on the other hand, will be rocking this great little island in 23 days time!

Right now your humble organiser's are enjoying the calm before the storm thats brewing on the August horizon. People are taking well-earned breaks, going sailing for a day, taking a walk in the Dublin mountains, visiting imprisoned loved ones or even trying a spot of gardening.

The dull walls of our windowless office are now adorned with the colourful flags of your nation-states, and curiously Imperial Japan. Also brightening up our office is young Swede, Anders Malmberg. Anders is currently helping EASA Ireland prepare for the construction of his and Gustav Backström's Green Room competition winning WYSIWYG pavilion at EASA 2008. WYSIWYG is one of many workshops we're all looking forward to in August.

Until then we await your arrival with open arms, open hearts and open minds.

Excursion's poll

Can everyone attending EASA IRELAND 2008 please answer this poll as we need to get some bookings in place for the Sunday excursions. There will be several options for excursions that day, this poll is to see whether cheap or 'free' options are interesting enough to participants or whether paying 50 euro for a day of pursuits is a possibility for a group.
