Dublin Event Guide 799: Change is around the corner. – The Dublin Event Guide is improving!

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

Change is around the corner

The Dublin Event Guide is improving!

Good Morning!

I am not sure what you would tell me if I asked you what you like and what you dislike about the “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)”, but one thing that you would most likely mention pretty soon is that it is sent too late. And I couldn’t agree more.

It should be in your hands ideally on Friday or if that is not possible than at least at the very latest early on Saturday morning. I get that and understand it fully.

I always said that if someone would sponsor me to be able to work more time on the Dublin Event Guide, I would guarantee that it will be out earlier. After nearly 800 editions, though, I kind of gave up on that sponsorship idea, but I will still do my best to change things around.

If you can, help me by kicking my backside, support me by not being too harsh if I am later than I should be and stay with me so that you will experience the new and better Dublin Event Guide. This week is only a TINY bit earlier. Next week I will do another bit better!

This week, February is coming to an end and with the 1st day of March, Spring will arrive in Ireland. This definitely has an impact on events! The first bit outdoor event will be the St. Patrick’s Festival from 17-19 March and I will tell you more about this next week.

And then after Easter (09 April), the outdoor season will properly start. Let’s hope it will be a good one!

Donations in March: 
EUR 65

(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.

The great person that donated last week was Louise. Thank you sooooo much! :-) Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week.I appreciate you and your support!

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.

Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 3. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?

Thank you!!

++ Lights, Camera, Action: The Irish in Hollywood (as Gaeilge)
Sat 04 & Sat 11 March – 10:00-11:00 – EPIC, chq Building, Customs House Quay, Dublin 1 – Adm: EUR 17.50
With a record 14 nominations at this year’s Oscars, it would appear we’re entering a golden era for Irish filmmaking. However, Irish people have played crucial rules in Hollywood and beyond for decades and have helped to shape the modern film industry as directors, actors, writers, animators, producers and more.
Dublin born inventor Lucien Bull was an early pioneer of high speed photography, without which the Hollywood film industry would not exist. Others like the legendary actor, choreographer and Oscar winner Gene Kelly had roots in Ireland while the original designer of the famous Oscar statute Cedric Gibbons was also a proud member of the Irish diaspora.
The Tour will be in Irish.
Find out more about people from Ireland or with Irish roots in the film industry.

And there is more…

+++ Discover Dublin Docklands App
Dublin City has a new app that allows us to discover iconic Dublin landmarks such as the famine statues, the CHQ building and more.
The app is available to download for free via doorsintodocklands.com/
After you got the app, you can point your phone at the landmarks and this will prompt the related images, videos and stories to pop up.
The app uses Augmented Reality (AR), a mix of 3D graphics, animation and audio, to immerse users in the story of the city.
Several colourful characters from history will also appear in AR to tell their tales. These include Captain Bligh who surveyed Dublin Bay in the 1800s and Maggie Doyle, who was a docker’s daughter.

+++ Seachtain na Gaeilge
From 01-17 March the Irish Language Festival “Seachtain na Gaeilge” will be back. The website snag.ie/ or peig.ie/ allegedly has all the events, but even with the English translation of the websites I didn’t find it easy to reveal the full list. I hope you will be luckier.

+++ LOW PRICED BOOKS (WITH FREE DELIVERY)
Book Depository is the place where you can buy low priced books, usually for better prices than on Amazon. And Book Depository always delivers for free. By buying books from Book Depository you will also help the Dublin Event Guide for no additional cost to you, so two good reasons in one. Use this link: shor.by/BookDepository
  .

+++ Local Enterprise Week
From 06-10 March the Local Enterprise Week will take place all over Ireland. If you are interested in Enterprise related topics, check out the list of events here www.localenterprise.ie/Week
There are five headline events that are free and open to everybody. In addition there are many other regional events that often happen on Zoom and therefore are not limited to the region. Many of them are free, others cost 10 or 20 Euro.

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get!

Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)

And this is it for another week! Have a great weekend and good new week.

Take care,

–Joerg (dublineventguide@gmail.com)
