Hi all!
This week my timing is all over the place (even worse than in other weeks) so I won’t spend much time with this introduction. All events are described as always, but there is one thing that I want to point out because it is not an event, but some interesting heads-up for some of you. If you organise events (free or non-free) and are struggling with a ticketing solution, check the article about Eventbrite in today’s Dublin News. They are around for a long time (and have sold more than 150mio tickets), but have decided to pay a lot more attention to Dublin than they did before and are currently offering a completely free service until 15 April. Check it out!
Here are the weekly pleas for your help and then let’s get started with the events:
The bill for sending the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) week after week through a professional E-mail sending company is a relatively low EUR 170 every month, but because I am not earning a cent from this work, I need your help with that. If you can help with a donation or maybe through your company with sponsorship, I appreciate it hugely. ANY amount is appreciated, but I suggest a donation of between EUR 12 and EUR 20. At EUR 12, that’s just EUR 1 per month! If you don’t have EUR 1 per month, then this weekly e-mail magazine is my gift for you. I can imagine how tough it is being in financial difficulties and I hope your situation will improve soon. If you do have EUR 1 per month to help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going, please do so at www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm Thanks!
And finally: 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 19,000 people receive the Dublin Event Guide every week and we are more than 40,000 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, 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 an event-full weekend and week,
–Joerg

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’s Feel Good Slot message is a video clip with Lizzie Velasquez. Lizzie has a rare condition that doesn’t allow her body to gain any weight and she also is vision impaired on one eye. She asks in her talk “How do YOU define yourself?” or in other words “What defines you?” www.youtube.com/watch?v=c62Aqdlzvqk And it is clear: YOU define who you are. Watch that video clip, it is worth it!

This part is important to “keep the show on the road”:
Last week the wonderful people that helped with a donation were Sophie P-L, David M, Mark G and Eamonn H. Thanks a lot for your help! Every bit counts and 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 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 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.
You can donate online by following this link to the PayPal&CreditCard donation page www.perfectresults.info/donation.htm 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.
In the last 12 months the following wonderful people have sponsored this Dublin Event Guide: Give Affirmations, Susan B, John G, Diana C, Sharon K, Michele M, Emma L, Rebecca T, Catherine O’S, Lindsay R, Marcella M, Karen B, Lisa R, Donald M, Margarita G, Moacir GdO, Rose P, Frank W, Niall McD, Evin L, Brendan M, Eoin P, Jennifer G, Aideen D, Emma S, Eva H M, Stephen S, Mary Ph, Rory McG, Deirdre M, Corinna R, Frances L, Colm O’R, Brian L, Judit S, Margaret B, Sinead D, Nicola R, Marta T, Adeline P, Clodagh O’C, Roisin R, Martin O’S, Aisling L, Ruth G, Marian T, David S, Christina M, Claire F, Peter D, Emma N, Agnes C, Flora F, Karl F, Raymond M, Rafika K, Natalija B, Nicola WN, A C, Hazel L, Amanda L, Brendan McC, Filippo G, Laura B, Lucas C, Colin B, Brendan H, Valentina B, Mark R, Jun S, Joe G, Helen G, Eoin O’B, Clodagh O’C, Aine G, Majella M, Gareth N, Pat M, Conor O’H, Torlach OC, Belinda B, Paul B, Daire McC, Tom McI, Mary B, Rita B, Kostas R, Derek L, Johan S, Sheila H, Joseph O’L, Hoai L, Elizabeth P, Hugh C, Lorraine F, Frieda K, George K, Tony B, Peter B, Seamus C, Jenny M, Tara R, Deirdre G, John F, Mark G, Orlagh O’F, Méabh C, Meav NiM, Anna P, Vera G, John R, Nicole W, Margo C, Eamonn U, Pamela McH, Joel B, Gerard Ph, Fiona F, Yvonne O’S, Gabriel K, Luis F, Claire D, Nicola F, Eimear MacH and Barry M, Kirsten D, Roisin K, Sharon C, Thomas S, Cyril M, Patricia O’N, Ju Yearn S, Clodagh C, Caitriona L, Brian O’C, Geraldine R, Aiden B, Jacinta O’B, Sophie P-L, Mairin M, Wendy C, Seamus C, Mary K, Carla B, Fiona O’R, Karen O’G, Emeline J, Noelle H, Sean N, Marta T, Aine C, Sabrina L, Brian H P, Fiona M, Bridget W, Paul M, Sarah S, Pam C, Colette C, Paul A, Brian C, Anne R, Deirdre B, Oliver M, Kostas R, Elaine K, Mark C, James E, Sarah H, Karl C, Melanie B, Donna M, Kathleen S, Arthur D, Stephen H, Karen H, Nikki D, Mark G, Margaret W, Serena F, Mark R, Zelie McG, Sean S, Caroline S, Patrick O’C, Christian K, Magdalena S, Fidelma M, Tania Z, Louise Q, Barbara Q-B, Catherine G, Tony B, Yvonne C, Mark G, Bridget W, Catherine E, Michelle M, Eoin O’S, Adeline P, Kay G, Claire F, Anto K, Sebastian B, Justin McC, Sophie P-L, David M, Mark G and Eamonn H and the Dublin Cycling Campaign (www.dublincycling.ie), www.GravitationalFX.ie (An Irish Web Design, SEO and Internet Marketing who offer affordable web design), www.FlamencoIndalo.com (A group that supports and promotes the art of Flamenco in Ireland.), www.oliviercornetgallery.com (A brand new Art Gallery in Temple Bar), www.Festivals.ie (Ireland’s festivals website, with key information on festivals in Ireland, UK and Europe), www.thepaulkanegallery.com (A great Art Gallery, on the search for a new venue), www.cfcp.ie (The Centre for Creative Practices is the the only arts centre in Ireland dedicated to connecting, integrating and promoting immigrant, experimental and emerging artists among the local arts scene and audiences).

BOOK DEPOSITORY – BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE
Books for lowest prices, sent to you in Ireland for free. And with every book you buy, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) gets a small commission if you buy via the link below

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.
Happy New Year! And welcome to all the Horses that this year is symbolised by. No, I am not one month late, I am refering (as you most likely already realised) to the the Chinese New Year that started on Friday.
This weekend the Chinese New Year’s Festival continues with the main public event, a Chinese Carnival on Meeting House Square. This is the headline event this weekend and otherwise the event world is winter-season appropriate: Quiet. I will watch the Superbowl on Sunday night and there will be lots of Superbowl parties in town, but I fully understand that that is not everyone’s cup of tea. The Rugby this weekend might appeal more to some.
If you are interested in gigs or in “Minding yourself”, you will find lots of events during the week. In Dublin there are lots of live music gigs taking place EVERY single day of the week, it is so great! And the other interesting programme is the “Mind Yourself!” programme organised by the libraries all over Dublin. Cool Libraries they are! :-)

Do you organise events? Check out Eventbrite’s (free) ticketing service
Whether you are running a free event with limited seats or a non-free event, one of the things that definitely will occupy your mind and might even stress you during the planning is the ticketing or registration of your attendees.
Selling tickets at the door only can cause a lot of stress and there must be a better solution even for small-ish events. You might think selling or distributing tickets in advance is only for big concerts (Like selling 240,000 tickets (!) for Garth Brooks this week.) Not so! With the right partner even your 10 or 50 or 200 tickets will be sold as professionally online. The solution is Eventbrite.
Eventbrite has been active in Ireland for a while already, and is currently expanding its service here with a dedicated team for Ireland. It is a an online ticketing platform that helps you sell AND promote your events. And they care even about your small or free event:
If you run a free event, you never pay ANYTHING for their ticketing service! It can’t be better than that! – And if you do sell tickets or registrations, you currently pay no Eventbrite fees for your events either, as long as you are a new user and you publish your events before April 15 (an online payment processing fee of around 3.5 percent still applies). Their normal service fee after this promotion is 2.5 percent of the ticket price + EUR 0.75 per ticket.
That’s a brilliant deal! And there is no minimum ticket number that you have to sell and you don’t have to sell exclusively through Eventbrite either.
Signing up is free and your first event could be live in five minutes!

The Exchange Dublin will have to close! :-(
Many of you know The Exchange Dublin! Maybe you have never been there, but with sometimes up to 10 free events per week, you most likely came across it at least here in the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). The Exchange Dublin is in the old part of Temple Bar at the corner of Essex Street West and Exchange Street Upper and opposite the Paramount Hotel.
Unfortunately, really bad news have emerged during the week: The Exchange will be closed and it seems that the reason are neighbours who have complained about “anti-social behaviour” in or outside the alcohol-free Exchange.
The reason why the news is so bad is because The Exchange was one of very very few really inclusive venues that offered their space for nearly free to a very diverse range of often emerging arts forms who will now have no-where to go. 10-15 free events less per week is another shocker.
The doors had to get closed this evening, but there MIGHT be a possibility that events will still take place in the venue until 08 Feb. So there is still time to sign the petition here and/or lobby the City Arts Office. Nearly 4000 people have done so already, join them and help! www.facebook.com/exchangedublin

Donating to the Dublin Event Guide 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!

This section is intended to feature new startup companies and projects. Opportunities that people saw and that they chose not to ignore. I am, however, experiencing a little technical problem with this section, so for now I won’t be able to use it. I will keep you posted.
|
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.

01 Jan – 28 Feb
Axis, Main Street, Ballymun, Dublin 9
RADE (Recovery through Art, Drama, and Education) worked with several participants on the production of an art exhibit based on the 1913 Lockout. Over eight months, the artists immersed themselves in the stories and history of the Lockout. The participants, many of whom are not originally artists, created art for this historical event. From paintings to wood and plaster sculptures, a work of emotional response to the trials faced by working class people during the 1913 Lockout emerged.

Project Arts Centre, 39 East Essex Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
There are two exhibition in the Project Arts Centre that both involve Czech Artist Eva Kotatkova and they both look really interesting. There is a small overlap of the two exhibitions so you could even see them both together. I wanted to tell you what they are about, but Curator talk is sometimes so cryptic, that I decided not to tell you anything about it. Just check out the description yourself here www.projectartscentre.ie/visual-arts/ and then go and visit the exhibitions! :-)

72 Thomas Street (between the Vicar St venue & Cafe Notto), Dublin 8

Over 40 teams (181 contestants!) will build a 3D printer “from scratch” and then design and print out their model of choice. Winners will have the choice of attending the 3D Printshow in Paris or London later this year and each team will be allowed to keep their 3D printer. The prize giving is at 17:00.
The teams are made up of professors, post graduates and undergraduates from the wider UCD Community and from other colleges (Trinity College Dublin, National College Art & Design, IADT, DIT and DCU) and they have a total of 30 hours to complete the build of the printer and the first print.
With many 3D printer kits explaining that they can be built by one person in 8-16 hours and others specifying a max of 24 hours, the 30 hour target doesn’t appear to be tooo tight, but maybe there are hidden challenges.
The event starts on Friday and then on Saturday everyone is invited to watch the 3D printer building and see what the teams will print. Admission is free.

Spring Shoe Shrine
11:00 – 12:00, Sat 01 Feb
National Museum, Kildare Street (Archaeology), Dublin 2
Incorrectly (at least according to Met Eireann), the National Museum claims that Spring has started on 01 Feb:
“Did you know that 1st February marks the first day of spring and the feast day of St Brigid, one of the patron saints of Ireland? Join archaeologist Mark Kelly to learn about a special shrine which was thought to contain the shoe of St Brigid and have a go at making your own shoe to celebrate spring. Admission is free and no booking required. Places limited, first come first served basis. Meet at Reception.

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up
14:00, Sun 02 Feb
Dublin (various locations)
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!

Superbowl Parties
20:00, Sun 02 Feb
Dublin (various locations)
Super Bowl XLVIII will take place tonight. The game will be played at the MetLife Stadium, at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey (home to the New York Giants and New York Jets). The NFC champions, the Seattle Seahawks and the AFC champions, the Denver Broncos will play against each other.
It is one of the most important American sports events every year, but it cathes on in Dublin more and more. Lots of Superbowl Parties take place in pubs where the game is shown life and (hopefully in all cases) from start to finish. If you don’t want to go out, you can watch it at home on Channel 4 (22:30-03:00). The kick off is at 23:30.
The following venues run SuperBowl Parties and don’t charge any admission fee:
+ Woolshed, Parnell Street, Dublin 1
+ Dublin Dragons SuperBowl Party: Sinnotts Bar Dublin, South King Street, Dublin 2
+ Trinity Bar, Dame Street, Dublin 2
Please note, this is NOT a complete list! Please also note that some of the venues (definitely Woolshed and Sinnots) will be packed from very early. If you want to make sure that you get in, go early!
I remember a few years ago when pubs closed before the first half of the game was over and then their customers were sent home half-way through the game. However, I am assured that the above listed pubs will show the game until the final whistle!

Ciarán Walsh – Performative Lecture
17:00, Wed 05 Feb
Drawing Project, Crofton Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin
A performative lecture by Ciarán Walsh, entitled “The Ghost of an Image”, is taking place in the Drawing Project in Dun Laoghaire.
This confuses me, but I hope you are smarter:
“Walsh will deliver a new spoken-word performance, ‘The Ghost of an Image’. Mediating the story of the artist’s own artistic research by focussing on a scientific paper which posits a particular sound-wave as the basis for ghostly apparitions, the performance simultaneously weaves in reflections on a film, a story from artist’s own personal history and a discussion on illusionists and spirit mediums of the Victorian era.”

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. ;-)
RTE throwing your hard earned money away
If you have a TV and pay your TV licence, then I’d say this hurts every time. Paying EUR 160 every year to a commercial station that pays their “stars” absolutely ridiculous salaries is bad enough. But when they then take YOUR money and give it – without being forced to – to one of the most discriminating so-called Catholic organisations is just adding insult to injury.
Paying compensation for insulting someone usually requires that you 1) insult someone and 2) are forced by a court or similar to pay compensation. The interview with Rory O’Neill on the Saturday Night show that was the reason for RTE paying compensation and apologising to an organisation that wasn’t even directly addressed is an insult to every license payer.
Philip O’Connor, a journalist and blogger explains this better than I can and he also still has the video of the original interview (which was removed by RTE) so that you get the FULL picture. Check it out here www.ourmaninstockholm.com/2014/01/28/panti-mime-time-for-iona/
And if you disagree with Homophobia like any morally upstanding person should, you can express it at this event www.facebook.com/events/1417272788513254/

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.
