Hi all!
Writing and publishing this Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) is never without interesting experiences.
[ad]
From the people that I meet along the way, via the great events I have get a chance to experience (not all are or have to be free) to the interesting events that I encounter on a Thursday night and during Friday, when I work on this e-mail magazine for 24+ hours non-stop. The “normal” things this time were my eyes constantly closing against my will :-) and then on Friday, my day job raising its head and calling me to action. The less normal things was a Power Outage in the middle of writing. I didn’t lose too much work but a good bit of time. Everything around me requires electricity and waiting for it to come back is like a child waiting for Christmas. You know that it will come, but you have no proper concept about the WHEN. So it is real waiting and hoping.
Well, the fact that you have this Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) in your hands means that the power did come back eventually and I was able to continue my work. :-) …but it took a while. ..and now I am also ready for Christmas. :-P I waited long enough.
This week there are alot less events taking place than in previous weeks. We are coming to the “slowest” period of the year. But I was still able to find about 140 events for you, so no reason to be bored. :-)
And now to the regular reminders! Thanks for reading:
Remember everytime you discover something new through the Dublin Event Guide, tell your friends, colleagues and families about it. Tell them about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) and keep spreading the word about this weekly publication! Tell the people you meet about it and suggest to them to subscribe too. They can do that easily on the right hand side at www.dublineventguide.com and they can also LIKE the Dublin Event Guide at www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide
Sending the Dublin Event Guide bills costs EUR 170 every month and I need to find that every single month. A contribution of EUR 1 per month from you would be great if you enjoy the Dublin Event Guide. You can either choose to subscribe (EUR 12 per year) or you can contribute with a once-off sum here: www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm Every cent will be used for the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events).
And this is a great opportunity to help the Dublin Event Guide for absolutely no cost to you:
Without putting your hand in your pocket (for the Dublin Event Guide) at all you can help by ALWAYS using the ad links in the Dublin News Section and the ads in the Dublin Event Guides when you buy/order goods. If you buy goods immediately (in the same session) after clicking on a link/ad that you find in this e-zine/newsletter (Groupon, LivingSocial, Amazon, Book Depository, LastMinute etc), you help the Dublin Event Guide everytime. This is how it works: The company you buy from (Groupon, Amazon, Living Social, Book Depository etc) registers that you came to them via a link from the Dublin Event Guide and they show their appreciation by giving a small commission (5-8%) to the Dublin Event Guide. This might only be 30 cent a go, but if you did that for all online purchases and if lots of people used it, then it could make a big dent into the EUR 170 needed. Use these links as often as possible it doesn’t cost you a cent and you help big time!
Have a great weekend + week!

The “Feel Good Slot” at this place in the Dublin Event Guide is to share some inspirational, motivational or thought provoking quotes, stories or video clips. You wonder why I added this section to this e-mail magazine? If your week was great, you might not need it, but most of us had some challenging moments in the last week and there could be more in the coming week and this section is for the people that want to overcome the hurdles, achieve more and remember that despite all, life is great!
This week I will keep the Feel Good Slot very very simple, but I have a task for you. It is a simple task though and the great thing about it is that it makes you feel good and at the same time you make someone else feel good:
Your task is to show some Random Kindness: During the week, find three opportunities to do something surprising positive for someone else. That could be giving an unexpected compliment to someone random in the street or bus, it could be you buying y coffee for someone that you don’t know, or just holding a door open and smiling. It doesn’t really matter what exactly it is. But it is important that you do that for someone that doesn’t expect it and that it is genuine.
When you have done your deed of Random Kindness, you are absolutely allowed to feel good about what you have done.
Imagine, if the 18,000 Dublin Event Guide readers all did three random deeds/acts of kindness, we would touch 54,000 people DIRECTLY. And if each of the 54,000 people just did ONE nice thing for someone else, 108,000 people would be touched! Definitely worth it!

Your help is absolutely needed too to ensure that you and everyone else will continue to get the Dublin Event Guide every week. The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is approx. EUR 170 per month and your EUR 12 per year will ensure that I will be able to pay the bills.
Has the Dublin Event Guide helped you to find events that you otherwise wouldn’t have known about, or have you saved money by finding great free events? Then go to www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm and give something back!
I appreciate ANY help: EUR 12 would be great (that’s just 25 cent per week!), but even if it is just the price of 2 pints it will help.

This section is intended to provide some help in picking and choosing from the huge number of events by sharing with you what I will/might or would do. This is not a “best of…” list and if an event is not listed here, it by no means implies that the event is not interesting. Instead my “picks” are just based on my personal preferences. All events mentioned here are described in detail further down.
This weekend it is time to go back to basics again. When was it last time that you went to one of the National Museums or to the National Gallery? Did you ever go to Hugh Lane Gallery and see Francis Bacon’s mad studio? Or did you go to the “Dead Zoo”, the Natural Museum any time recently? If you haven’t been, this week is a good opportunity!

Quarteto Olinda – Ticket Competition
Sun 03 Nov – 17:00-00:00
Grand Social, 35 Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 1
The Quarteto Olinda from the Pernambuco region in Brazil are following the long tradition of musicians blending regional styles with modern approaches. Their musical style – forró de rabeca – was created in the sugarcane-growing rural areas around the city of Recife. It is led by the sound of “rabeca” – the Brazilian folk fiddle – and the drumbeat of Zabumba.
Their fiery weekly residency in the historic city of Olinda trained them to perform long, hectic sets and sed uced so many music fans worldwide that some Dubliners, having lost their minds at one of those crazy forró nights, decided to bring them over.
The night in the Grand Social will take you on a trip around Pernambuco, filled with music, cinema and food. Some information about the band is here www.quartetoolinda.com/ and the Facebook Event Page can be found here www.facebook.com/events/215191088647767/
Admission to the event is EUR 8 and tickets will be available at the door.
The lucky Dublin Event Guide reader who won a pair of tickets for this event is Aoife Nelson. Congratulations!

Promote your product or (non-free) event with a competition in the Dublin Event Guide!
The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) focuses on free events, but we all fully understand that not everything can be free in life and if you run a non-free event (or sell a cool product), I am sure it would help you if you could let the 17,000+ Dublin Event Guide readers know about your event or product. If you can make a few tickets (product samples) available for the Dublin Event Guide readers, I can help you and promote your event (product) in the context of a competition. Cost to you? In most cases not a cent! Just contact me on dublineventguide@gmail.com and we can discuss the details. It is all very simple! ;-)

Giving money for free!?
Do you happily receive the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) every week? And do you make use of it at least sometimes? And would you like to help to keep it going? If you read this, then the answer is probably three times YES!
But I understand that giving a donation is not everybody’s thing. I can assure you that it will only be used to cover the cost for the Dublin Event Guide, but wouldn’t it be even neater if you could give money without having to use your own?
This is indeed possible! When you buy books online, buy them from Book Depository or from Amazon and use these links to go to the website:
www.bookdepository.co.uk?a_aid=dubevg for Book Depository and
www.amazon.co.uk/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=ur2&tag=dubeveguiforf-21 for Amazon
You can also copy these links and send them to your friends. When you click on the link you books cost exactly the same as if you went to the Amazon or Book Depository website directly. But if you go via my links above, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will get 5-8%. That’s not a lot, but if you and lots of other people used that link every time, it still would amount to a fair amount.
And if you want to buy from
Groupon use this www.awin1.com/cread.php?s=344250&v=4345&q=162396&r=140544 or for
LivingSocial use this www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=4319&id=140544
Giving money for free! That’s how easy it is. ;-) Thanks!

Water restrictions extended
The drinking water in Dublin is at best of times of quite poor quality. All the water is taken from water reservoirs and consequently chlorine is added to kill bacteria. In addition flouride is added, which is declared highly toxic in most other countries in Europe and is forbidden as a drinking water additive in most countries.
Not great, but better than nothing! However, there will be NOTHING for even more nights than originally announced. A problem was discovered at the water treatment plant at Ballymore Eustace, which required an immediate reduction in water supply. (Worrying that a problem at ONE treatment plan already has such a significant effect!) The water supply is for this reason cut off to all areas of Dublin from 20:00-07:00 every night. Originally announced as a needed until Monday, now it has been extended until Thursday of next week (07 November).
Ohh, and if you are not really sure how the Irish water systems works and you find yourself delighted that the hot water tap and the taps in the bathroom still work. Then this is good news, but I would advise you to at least boil the water before you drink it. I have seen the most disgusting cold water cisterns in my years in Ireland and unless you have checked you don’t know in what state the one in your house is. The cistern in the attic supplies all taps in your house/flat with the exception of the cold water tap in the kitchen. (There would be soo much more to say about that system, but I see you are already falling asleep! :-P )

Urban Farm closing down – for now!
The Urban Farm, a farm on top of the Chocolate Factory (near the multi-storey car park behind Cineworld) will have to close and is looking for a new home. Andrew Douglas, the founder of the project and man with the idea had to make the hard decision because the Chocolate Factory has been closed down for public access due to fire regulations not being met yet.
The Urban Farm is a great idea and became in no time a really popular idea and concept that found many many people being interested in it., but the cost are too high and the revenue – without being able to run tours and workshops – is too small.
Have a look at the full story here www.urbanfarm.ie/3/post/2013/11/urban-farm-gone-fishin.html It is a pity that it had to close down, but there is hope that Andrew will find a new home that will allow him to make the Urban Farm a big success.

—————————
If you took the opportunity and started a new business recently (not more than approx. 6 months ago) and need a bit of support to let Dublin know about your new venture, talk to me. In this section I will feature new companies every now and then. I had to give it a rest for a while due to some technical challenges, but I seem to have mastered them more or less by now. ;-)

Based on your feedback, I have decided to do the following with the Exhibition section in this newsletter from now on: I will provide you with a link to a near-comprehensive listing of exhibitions provided by www.visualartists.ie . For me to list all exhibitions would only be doubling their good work and would be an inefficient use of my resources. The link is visualartists.ie/category/listings/dublin/
On top of that I will every now and then include here a small selection of exhibitions that either are not mentioned in the Visual Artist listing or are note-worthy to be mentioned separately.

In exploring the patterns and textures projection mapped onto a unique garment by Danielle Romeril, each person will create something original.

Grow your own….. – Science Gallery Exhibition
12:00 – 18:00, Sat 02 Nov
Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2
The newest Science Gallery exhibition (25 Oct – 19 Jan) is called GROW YOUR OWN…. and is exploring synthetic biology and life after nature. How does the future of designed and artificially enhanced life look like? What possibilities are there.
This exhibition is very different from the previous ILLUSION exhibition. GROW YOUR OWN is a lot more scientific and very futuristic. Maybe you could call it “science and art fiction”? The exhibition is full of interesting ideas and concepts, but also contains eye-brow raising stuff like human cheese and self-diagnosing excr ement. Younger children will be lost in it, so it is more suitable for a slightly older audience (16+) in comparison to the previous exhibition.
I was at the Science Gallery for the media preview and the launch event (for all Science Gallery members) and I found it so interesting that I will be back again. As with all Science Gallery exhibitions, I definitely recommend visiting it, but this time you have to bring a bit more time to comprehend all 21 exhibits and you need to bring your curiosity for science. It is worth it, though! The great (and unique) thing about the Science Gallery is that there are always mediators there, helpers that explain every exhibit in simple terms.
The exhibition is open Tuesday-Sunday. (Weekdays: 12:00-20:00, Sat+Sun: 12:00-18:00) Admission is free.

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up
14:00, Sun 03 Nov
Dublin (various locations)
The “Dublin Sketchers” is an informal group of typically hobby artists who go somewhere different in Dublin every Sunday (e.g. National Museum, Maritime Museum, Dublin Flea Market, Farmleigh, Botanic Gardens, Dublin Castle), sketch for one to two hours and then meet up for coffee afterwards and discuss their sketches. There are some hugely talented people among them and it is a great idea to meet up with others who have the same hobby. Find out on their website where they will meet and join them if you do some sketching/drawing yourself. I know that the Dublin Sketchers often use the Dublin Event Guide to find interesting free events and I am delighted to be able to help!

All walks are of moderate difficulty. The other details can be found on the website www.dublinmountains.ie/news/upcoming_events/?no_cache=1 All walks are free, but pre-registration is required.

Buy a BASIC Business Book, National Transport Authority!!
The National Transport Authority had the last week great news for us! All prices for public transport will increase either from 01 Nov or 01 Dec. Why? Because passenger numbers dropped and fuel cost increased. www.thejournal.ie/fare-increases-1143001-Oct2013/ Now, I am not an expert, but to me it seems as if the people in charge at the Transport Authority completely failed in the simplest and basic Business Principles! If your customer base is getting smaller you don’t increase the charges for the remaining loyal customers, but you provide a better service and maybe even LOWER fees so that you INCREASE the customer numbers.
Sure it is much easier to milk the easily available cow more, so increasing fees is sooo simple, but the result will be that even more people will re-consider their public transport use.
We should provide good public transport really cheap, so that there is no price hurdle to overcome. Only then public transport will do what it is meant to do. National Transport Authority, buy some very basic business books and read them!

This Event Guide (the “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)”) is an Event Guide with a difference. It covers mostly free events based on the thinking that free events deserve additional support and that non-free events have the money to pay for advertisement. The Guide is a _Guide_ and not just a listing and is therefore at times quite extensive. It is sent for free to anybody who is interested and if you want to be added to the mailing list or know somebody who would like to receive this guide, just send them to www.dublineventguide.com, where they can subscribe. If you have feedback – good or bad – PLEASE tell me via dublineventguide@gmail.com.
BTW: I am not paid or otherwise rewarded for compiling and distributing this Event Guide it is purely a hobby so your donations are needed: www.perfectresults.info/donation.htm . Advertisement in or sponsorship of the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) is possible and very welcome, please contact me for more information.
Please note: The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Event) is not related or connected to the long gone fortnightly printed publication “the event guide” that you found until December 2008 in pubs and other venues.
