Hi all!

The Dublin Event Guide is late again. I had perfect plans for getting it out earlier, but they all mis-fired. With more than 200 events this week, this edition is packed with goodness and hopefully you will still be able to make good use of it.

[ad]

Have a great weekend and enjoy the improving weather!

Unfortunately I have to bring the “m” word again. Money! or “D” for donations. I need them to keep the show on the road. I spend more than 35 hours every week on the Dublin Event Guide and I don’t make a cent from it. but I regrettably can’t afford to use my own salary to pay for the bills of the Event Guide, so for that I need your help.

The bills need to be paid and we didn’t reach the EUR 190 in February and March is starting very slow. If you can, please help with a donation, it keeps the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) on the road. Thanks! www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm

If you know anybody in the media world, in radio, TV or newspapers, that would be interested mentioning or featuring the Dublin Event Guide, please let me know (dublineventguide@gmail.com). And maybe you have some interesting ideas how I could spread the word better? I definitely need some suggestions to jumpstart the 2015 growth of our community.

And remember, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) only exists because you told other people about it and because a few generous people support it with donations. Keep doing exactly that, please! Tell all your friends and family and colleagues about it and – if you can – please also help with a donation.

The Sponsorship I was able to get from some companies helps hugely to take a certain amount of financial pressure off me, but it is not enough. The cost are still above that AND I need some money to make some changes to the system that I use and need someone who is good at CakePHP programming and SQL databases. That will cost! So please continue your financial support. You can help here: www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm I am also looking for some additional corporate sponsors as well, if you know someone, send them my way. :-)
Regarding your donation, I am suggesting the super low amount of just EUR 1 per month. These EUR 12 is just 2 pints and for the equivalent of 2 pints you get 52 issues full of information about free cultural events. That’s DEFINITELY worth 2 pints, isn’t it!? Please…and Thanks! :-)

And finally – I can’t say it often enough: Please help spreading the word about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). Your friends can easily subscribe at www.dublineventguide.com and they will get a weekly e-mail magazine with all the free events in Dublin if they subscribe. They don’t have to pay a cent for that and their e-mail address is completely safe with me! More than 23,000 people receive the Dublin Event Guide every week and we are more than 55,000 people at the Dublin Event Guide Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide Check it out and click on LIKE when you are there.

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, LivingSocial, 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 190 needed. Use these links as often as possible it doesn’t cost you a cent and you help big time!

Have an event-full weekend and week,

–Joerg

Feel good slot

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!

Today’s feel good slot features an amazing talent again. Seeing how talented other people are, what they can achieve and considering that we all start at mor eor less the same point just after birth is – I find – very inspiring because if something is humanly possible, you should consider it to be within your reach!

have a look at Zach King’s amazing “digital sleight of hands” videos. It is impressive video magic! You will be blown away:

Support

This part is important to “keep the show on the road”:

To cover the cost for the Dublin Event Guide I need your help and every week generous and nice Dublin Event Guide readers help with a donation.

Last week Aishling B and Brendan M were so great to support the Dublin Event Guide with a donation. I really really really appreciate all the help and keep in mind that without donations there won’t be a Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events): Your donation will ensure that the Dublin Event Guide will continue arriving in your Inbox every week and every donation will benefit EVERY Dublin Event Guide reader!

The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is approx. EUR 190 per month and a donation from you of just 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 here 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.

You can donate online by following this link to the PayPal&CreditCard donation page. If you want to transfer your donation directly to my account, just send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com and I will send you the details.

EventbriteThe main sponsor is Eventbrite and their support is hugely appreciated! Eventbrite enables people all over the world to plan, promote, and sell out any event, and has sold over 200 million tickets and registrations worldwide, totalling more than $3 billion in gross ticket sales. Eventbrite is free for free events. The online event registration service makes it easy for everyone to discover events, and to share the events they are attending with the people they know. In this way, Eventbrite brings communities together by encouraging people to connect through live experiences.

All events listed in this Event Guide are free of any admission charges (or at least appear to be free) unless otherwise stated. I try to find confirmation in all cases and do my best to double-check the information. However errors can happen and therefore no promise for correctness can be given.

Joergs Picks

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.

The Five Lamps Arts Festival is continuing with lots of events, if you are interested in talks/lectures, you will find a huge amount this week and the Science Gallery Lifelogging exhibition is still on my list of recommendations.

This week I will also add the Fusion Sunday World Culture Market, the Dog Day Afternoon on Sunday (if you are into dogs) and a whole variety of International Women’s Day events. A good few interesting gigs are taking palce as well! Check them out!

Dublin news

Help the Dublin Event Guide! It won’t cost you a cent!

Do you enjoy free events? Does it help you to find out about all these free events simply in one e-mail magazine or on one website? Does the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) deliver all this for you and maybe even more? In that case, you probably also would want it to continue forever, right?

To achieve that some money is needed. Donations are a great help, but not everyone feels they can donate at the moment. So here is the solution: If you could help with a donation without having to pay a cent from your own money wouldn’t that be cool? You can!!

When you buy books online, buy them from Book Depository or from Amazon and use these links to go to the website:

Book Depository
Amazon

And when you buy from Living Social or Groupon use these links:

Groupon
LivingSocial

When you buy holidays (from Lastminute.com, Expedia or Hotels.com) or other products buy them via clicking on the links below:

HMV | | Vodafone | Pixmania
Expedia
| Lastminute.com | Hotels.com

When you click on the link and then buy, your books/products/holidays etc cost exactly the same as if you went to the website directly. But if you go via the links above, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will get 5-8% of what you spend as a commission. That’s not a lot, but if you and lots of other people used that link every time, it would amount to a fair amount of crucially important money. Use the links often, actually EVERY time you buy from the relevant site, not just once!

Giving money for free! That’s how easy it is. ;-) THANK YOU!!!

And if you want to donate money directly, then you can do that here: www.perfectresults.info/donation.htm

Exhibitions

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 www.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.

Visual tribute to W. B. Yeats – Dublin Painting and Sketching Club

The Dublin Painting and Sketching Club will honour William Butler Yeats, on the 150th anniversary of his birth, with this exhibition of artwork inspired by his poetry.

The Yeats painting and 250 others will also be on view at the Club’s very popular annual exhibition, in the Concourse Gallery, County Hall, Marine Rd., Dun Laoghaire, from 13-26 April.

Since the pilot residency in 2012, the artists in residence have engaged with scientists in neuroscience, cognitive science, marine biology, plant biology, geophysics, paleobotany, advanced optical imaging, spectroscopy and astronomy. Their conversations have led to an inspiring body of work, through a mutual openness to communicating across the traditional boundaries of the disciplines. The diversity of the work reflects the open and dynamic nature of the project and includes, sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, video and performances. We will also launch our programme of public events and publication to accompany the exhibition.”

Lifelogging – Science Gallery Exhibition

12:00 – 18:00, Sat 07 Mar

Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2

“Lifelogging – Do you count?” is the title of the newest Science Gallery exhibition, which started on Friday 13 Feb and will run until 12 April.

Lifelogging is part exhibition, part Science Gallery Lab where you can take part in research projects and it deals with us tracking ourselves, measuring things we do and logging everything from heartbeat to heartbreak.

Get a taste for tracking as you play games with your emotions, use your brainwaves to sort files, generate music wearing sensors, and explore a virtual world filled with real dreams and memories.

The exhibits at this exhibition are fascinating: There is George Reynolds who recorded his health on paper since 2003. A sensible and understandable version of lifelogging. On the other end of the spectrum is Alberto Frigo who takes a picture every times he holds an object with his right hand. He started in 2003 and plans to continue until 2040. On the surface it doesn’t make sense AT ALL. But when you talk to him, you find out that there is a surprising sense to what he does.

The exhibition contains 16 exhibits some so odd that you should get the super helpful and knowledgeable Science Gallery mediators to help you understand what is behind it.

In one area, every week another group/organisation will involve you in their work (the Lab part) and I will explain their project in a separate event posting in the weekly Dublin Event Guide.

Admission to the Science Gallery is free. Opening hours are Tues-Fri 12:00-20:00 and Sat+Sun 12:00-18:00.

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up

The “Dublin Sketchers” is an informal group of (hobby) artists who go somewhere different in Dublin every Sunday (e.g. National Museum, Maritime Museum, Dublin Flea Market, Farmleigh, Botanic Gardens, Dublin Castle, Science Gallery, …), 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 below or on their Facebook Page 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!

International Women’s Day – Documentary Screenings

12:30, Tue 10 Mar

Rathmines Library, 157 Lower Rathmines Road, Dublin 6

A documentary will be screened at Rathmines Library from 10-12 March to coincide with ‘International Women’s Day’.

The documentary “Hoodwinked” (1997) is a three part series debating women’s roles in Irish society since the 1920s – a history told as often from the sidelines as from the centre. Hoodwinked is Trish McAdam’s three-part documentary which appeared originally on RTÉ in 1998. Duration is 40 minutes each.

Programme 1 (10 March)
Here the focus is on how women fared during and after the battle for Ireland’s independence, as their crucial role during the struggle saw them win the vote six years before women in England, only for a conservative Irish Free State to row back on these freedoms.

Programme 2 (11 March)
The hugely controversial Mother and Child Scheme is explored here as part of this fascinating look into the changing role Irish women had in Irish society between the 1940s and 1970s.

Programme 3 (12March)
The third and final of the Hoodwinked series, the place women occupied in Ireland during the 1990s is brought under the microscope here, with exciting questions about the future of Irish women.

Admission is free, but booking is required via 01-4973539

International Women’s Day – Documentary Screenings

12:30, Wed 11 Mar

Rathmines Library, 157 Lower Rathmines Road, Dublin 6

A documentary will be screened at Rathmines Library from 10-12 March to coincide with ‘International Women’s Day’.

The documentary “Hoodwinked” (1997) is a three part series debating women’s roles in Irish society since the 1920s – a history told as often from the sidelines as from the centre. Hoodwinked is Trish McAdam’s three-part documentary which appeared originally on RTÉ in 1998. Duration is 40 minutes each.

Programme 1 (10 March)
Here the focus is on how women fared during and after the battle for Ireland’s independence, as their crucial role during the struggle saw them win the vote six years before women in England, only for a conservative Irish Free State to row back on these freedoms.

Programme 2 (11 March)
The hugely controversial Mother and Child Scheme is explored here as part of this fascinating look into the changing role Irish women had in Irish society between the 1940s and 1970s.

Programme 3 (12March)
The third and final of the Hoodwinked series, the place women occupied in Ireland during the 1990s is brought under the microscope here, with exciting questions about the future of Irish women.

Admission is free, but booking is required via 01-4973539

International Women’s Day – Documentary Screenings

12:30, Thu 12 Mar

Rathmines Library, 157 Lower Rathmines Road, Dublin 6

A documentary will be screened at Rathmines Library from 10-12 March to coincide with ‘International Women’s Day’.

The documentary “Hoodwinked” (1997) is a three part series debating women’s roles in Irish society since the 1920s – a history told as often from the sidelines as from the centre. Hoodwinked is Trish McAdam’s three-part documentary which appeared originally on RTÉ in 1998. Duration is 40 minutes each.

Programme 1 (10 March)
Here the focus is on how women fared during and after the battle for Ireland’s independence, as their crucial role during the struggle saw them win the vote six years before women in England, only for a conservative Irish Free State to row back on these freedoms.

Programme 2 (11 March)
The hugely controversial Mother and Child Scheme is explored here as part of this fascinating look into the changing role Irish women had in Irish society between the 1940s and 1970s.

Programme 3 (12March)
The third and final of the Hoodwinked series, the place women occupied in Ireland during the 1990s is brought under the microscope here, with exciting questions about the future of Irish women.

This is odd

Please note: This section contains observations taken from the world I live in that strike me as odd. I express my personal opinion and you might not share it. ;-) If you are easily offended by opinions that are not identical with your own, please don’t read this section and I am VERY serious about that!

Tolerance and Multicultural Life? Or Fresh?

I came across a posting in Broadsheet.ie that got my blood boiling this week. It was an employee notice that “Fresh – The Good Food Market” hadned out to their employees and you can find it here www.broadsheet.ie/2015/03/02/fresh-language/ In it, Fresh’s management forbids their employees to use any other language during working hours than English.

At first you think, that that might be reasonable: If dealing with English speaking clients you would HOPE that the person that is trying to help you in the shop has some knowledge of English. But interestingly the company also insists on the use of English between non-English-native-speaking employees (still semi-understandable), they also insist on Fresh employees forcing customers to speak English even if the customer speaks the same non-English language as the employee (silly, but in case they record all conversations (??) also partially understandable).

But then the clincher: Employees are forced to speak English in their breaks even if they spend their breaks only with people from their own countries! And what if you don’t? Disciplinary action!!

To me that is thick-headed, narrowminded bullying! Considering that the non-English-native employees keep the shop running and the non-English-native customers keep the company in business, this is a stupid move!

Have an event-full weekend and week,
