Hi all!
Thanks for the great feedback last week about the new responsive (i.e. mobile phone compatible) and re-freshed layout! Glad that you like it. ;-) It is still very similar to the previous look but that is on purpose. Bit by bit I will be able to add a lot more features though, so what you see now is not the end, it is just the beginning. ;-)
This weekend and next week is super super busy. This edition of the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) features 90 (!!!) free events and that despite a LEvel 5 lockdown. Sure, nearly all the events are online. But even online culture is culture! ;-)
Happy Chinese New Year and also Happy Valentine’s weekend! There is nothing objectionable about the Chinese New Year (I think!?), but Valentine’s Day is not loved by everybody. It is a tough day for some and an annoying day for others. Too much weight is put on it, I think. In the beginning of the Dublin Event Guide (Imagine, it was around 12 years ago, because the Dublin Event Guide will be 14 this year. :-O.) I organised an alternative Valentine’s Day meet-up, for everybody (couples or singles) who loved the Dublin Event Guide and we were more than 100 people at it.
For me Valentine’s Day is a day that should be celebrated if you love ANYBODY. You have friends that you love? Tell them! You have family members that you love? Tell them! You love yourself? (And I hope you do!) Tell yourself! You have a partner that you love? Tell him or her! So take the obligation and pressure out of this day and just celebrate love! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!! Me and the Dublin Event Guide love you!!! 💓
Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t love the Dublin Event Guide as much as would be good. The reach is twindling and you are needed to change that! You know how to show your love on Facebook, right? You say something about a post or click on the links that express love. (Facebook punishes me if I use the words that start with L, C and S. :-O). IF 200 people clicked on the L, C, S links then Facebook would show the Dublin Event Guide to DOUBLE the amount of people. So, please click! It is for a good cause!! :-)
And remember, the best Dublin Event Guide experience is being had by e-mail subscribers. And you can subscribe on www.dublineventguide.com Then comes the website itself (it needs a bit of TLC, I know!) and because Facebook doesn’t like nicely formatted content, the readers on Facebook end up at the lower end of the list. This is only for Facebook readers: If you follow the link at the VERY bottom of this post you will also see the nice new layout and the FULL Dublin Event Guide. And if you just read the text version on Facebook, then it will only be a PART of the complete newsletter. The events for next week will not be posted on Facebook anymore. Sorry!
If you enjoy the great content in the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) and want to keep this weekly newsletter alive, then please consider helping with the cost for sending it. Any amount will help, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I would suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. That’s just one Euro per month for four, sometimes five editions, where else can you get so much value for so little cost. :-)
To donate you can use the PayPal or the Revolut link OR you can buy me a virtual coffee (I won’t drink it but will use the money to put into the Dublin Event Guide). YOUR contribution really counts! Thank you! :-)
Please donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide
or for Revolut users among you just use @joergbrb (Revolut is moving away from phone numbers and to addresses like this one.)
If PayPal or Revolut don’t work for you, you can buy one or two or even three virtual coffees (or Hot Chocolates!) for the Dublin Event Guide and you can do that on the “Buy Me a Coffee†page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG .
