Hi all!<\/p>\n

This Saturday we will enter Summertime again when the clock will be put an hour forward at 01:00 on Saturday night. The weather doesn’t play along yet, we are still waiting for Spring, but hopefully it will catch up soon and give us some warmth again. All event organiser still do the wise – and safe – thing and keep the events in doors for another little while, but it won’t be much longer.<\/p>\n

[ad]<\/p>\n

Two things dominated the week for me. One was that Facebook has indicated that they will change their algorithm again and where Facebook in the past was the main channel to reach out to people that hadn’t heard about the Dublin Event Guide yet, now this route will become less and less successful. If anybody has a good idea how we can reach lots of people to tell them about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events), please let me know.<\/p>\n

The other issue that occupied my mind is money. March was a bad month. Less of you donated and so only EUR 100 came together. That means I will have to take EUR 70 from my salary to pay so that I can send the weekly e-mail magazine to you. And it is getting worse. For the first time in the history of the Dublin Event Guide, there were two consecutive weeks were not a single person supported my work with a donation. You can help here: www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

So this week, I have to do what I really really don’t like: I have to beg for money. Please, dear readers, help the Dublin Event Guide with a donation. If EVERY subscriber gave just one Euro per year, this would not only cover the cost but also give me the chance to turn this weekly publication into something even better and more helpful. Unfortunately it won’t ever happen that every body will help, so that means the heavy lifting has to be done by a small minority.<\/p>\n

If you are one of the people that your friends and family know as a do-er, not a talker, as someone others trust and call reliable, then you are the one who can help the Dublin Event Guide! Please go to: http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> A donation of EUR 12 to EUR 20 per year would be super, that’s just 25 cent per weekly edition. If you have more, that’s even better. If you have less, believe me, I appreciate every cent. If you or your company want to sponsor the Dublin Event Guide in return for advertisement or other help, then lets talk! Contact me at dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/p>\n

And finally: Please help spreading the word about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). Your friends can easily subscribe at http:\/\/www.dublineventguide.com<\/a> 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 20,000 people receive the Dublin Event Guide every week and we are more than 44,000 people at the Dublin Event Guide Facebook Page at www.facebook.com\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> Check it out and click on LIKE when you are there.<\/p>\n

And this is a great opportunity to help the Dublin Event Guide for absolutely no cost to you:<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, LivingSocial<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Book Depository<\/a>, LastMinute<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n

Have an event-full weekend and week,<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

This week’s Feel Good Slot is a very short video clip. Elvis de Leon tells his story and asks what would you do if you got every day $84,600 but all the money would be gone the next day and you will get another $84,600. Would you every day try to make best use of it? You can’t keep it, you can’t carry it over.<\/p>\n

84,600 is the number of seconds we have every day! Do you make the most of it? You know can’t carry it over. You get another 84k the next day, but the ones from the previous day are gone forever. Make good use of them!!<\/p>\n

Thanks to Barry R for sending this clip to me! If you also come across something, a thought, an idea, a question, a saying or a videclip or a song that could fit here, send it to dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This part is important to “keep the show on the road”:<\/p>\n

For the second week in a row, not a single person helped with a donation. :-( This is getting serious!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.
\nHas 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 http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> and give something back!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You can donate online by following this link to the PayPal&CreditCard donation page http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donation.htm<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n

This week you should check out the Five Lamps Art Festival, Dublin Flea Market, Dublin: One City One Book and Green Drinks Dublin.<\/p>\n

There are lots and lots of other events, but for a change and because I am running out of time, I will let you have a look through them this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dublin One City One Book<\/h2>\n
\n

Dublin One City One Book is a yearly project that is meant to encourage everyone in the city to read the same book during the month of April.<\/p>\n

In the past books like James Plunkett’s “Strumpet City”, “Dubliners” by James Joyce or “Dracula” by Bram Stoker were the chosen books. This year, however, a completely different type of book was selected: “If Ever You Go: a map of Dublin in poetry and song” will be the One City One Book choice for April 2014 and it seemingly was published just in time for the event. [Are we running out of good books??]<\/p>\n

It is a collection of poems, ballads and songs (edited by Pat Boran and Gerard Smyth) from a range of literary luminaries connected with Dublin. The book is arranged street by street “so the reader is continually making new connections and discoveries on a virtual tour of the City of Words.”<\/p>\n

It includes writing by Swift, Synge, Yeats, Joyce, Kavanagh and \u00d3 Dire\u00e1in as well as Seamus Heaney, Eavan Boland, Dermot Bolger, Paula Meehan, Nuala N\u00ed Dhomhnaill and Derek Mahon. There are also songs and ballads from Dublin’s colonial past, verses by leaders of the 1916 Rising, and portraits of the modern city with Spire and Luas tram.<\/p>\n

I haven’t seen the book yet, so can’t assess it, but from the description it sounds a little like the desperate search for a book resulted in the creation of a hotchpotch of writings. Let’s hope the first impression is completely wrong!<\/p>\n

All events, that are part of One City One Book, are listed here http:\/\/www.dublinonecityonebook.ie\/events-2014<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Newest biggest Attraction in Dublin: Whiskey!?<\/h2>\n
\n

It seems that the newest biggest attraction in Dublin is …. Whiskey! Soon there will be THREE or even four “Whiskey visitor places” in Dublin. The Jameson Old Distillery near Smithfield Plaza is already well established and gets lots of visitors.<\/p>\n

Now a planning permission for opening a new distillery<\/a> and a visitor centre in historic St James’s Church in the Liberties has been lodged by Alltech, an animal food company that also produces Kentucky Bourbon.<\/p>\n

Teelings, already a whiskey producer, also wants to open a distillery in the Liberties, together with a “tourist experience<\/a>“, which is expected to attract up to 100,000 visitors annually.<\/p>\n

And elsewhere a distillery-less Whiskey museum<\/a> will open in August: Extreme Ireland<\/a>, a company that also runs Tourism Offices and Day Tours is turning five rooms above the James Fox cigar shop (and above their Toursit Office) at College Green into a Whiskey museum<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Phoenix Park Visitor Centre open 7 days again<\/h2>\n

The Phoenix Park Visitor Centre was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays from January until now, but from 01 April it will be open 7 days every week again. So, if you are in Phoenix Park during the week, you can drop in again. ;-) http:\/\/www.phoenixpark.ie\/visitorcentre\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Eventbrite adds feature for selling Reserved Seating<\/h2>\n
\n

Eventbrite<\/a> is a great self-service ticketing platform, but fo venues where you want to have reserved\/assigned seating they couldn’t really provide a suitable solution. This has changed now with a great new feature: Eventbrite’s Seat Designer, is a new interface that provides organizers easy-to-use seat planning. In other words, you create the layout of the seating in the way you know it from seating plans for big concert venues and can then sell different levels of seating for different prices and can assign seats at the time tickets are bought.<\/p>\n

And remember that until 15 April Eventbrite will charge no ticketing fees for new organisers in Ireland. Publish any 2014 event before 15 April and you pay no service charges to Eventbrite (online payment processing fees are out of Eventbrite’s control and therefore will still apply).<\/p>\n

Register before 15 April and start using Eventbrite’s service here: http:\/\/www.eventbrite.ie\/r\/devg<\/a><\/p>\n

A short video clip shows how powerful the Seat Designer is: http:\/\/vimeo.com\/87748222<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Donating to the Dublin Event Guide for free!?<\/h2>\n
\n

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!<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com?a_aid=dubevg<\/a> for Book Depository and
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=ur2&tag=dubeveguiforf-21<\/a> for Amazon<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And if you want to buy from
\nGroupon use this http:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?s=344250&v=4345&q=162396&r=140544<\/a> or for
\nLivingSocial use this http:\/\/www.awin1.com\/awclick.php?mid=4319&id=140544<\/a><\/p>\n

Fail Better – Science Gallery Exhibition<\/h2>\n

\"\" 12:00 – 18:00, Sat 29 Mar<\/h3>\n

Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The newest Science Gallery exhibition has the theme “Fail Better” and it will run from 07 Feb – 27 Apr. The title comes from Samuel Beckett’s “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” and the exhibition looks at beautiful and instructive failures. The purpose is to open up a debate on the essential role of failure in human creativity, in technology, science, design, business and sport.<\/p>\n

20 unique exhibits, from a pair of explorer boots that caused Ranulph Fiennes to fail in an Everest attempt, via Christopher Reeve’s (Superman) original wheelchair, to a full-scale reconstruction of the the world’s worst or maddest invention: a big table that is meant to assist childbirth using centrifugal force.<\/p>\n

I visited the exhibition and I definitely recommend it. Age-wise, I would think that it is suitable for children from Age 12\/13 as long as the parents are prepared to read a good bit of explanatory text and then “translate” it for their children. There is no overly complicated stuff, but most of the exhibits are not self-explanatory. But there is a strong reason for bringing your kids: We have in general a negative attitude to Failure. This exhibition will help you to change that!<\/p>\n

Admission is free and opening hours are Tues-Fri 12:00-20:00 and Sat+Sun 12:00-18:00.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If she lives aborad, she won’t expect you to ring because in most other countries Mother’s Day will take place a few weeks later (often in May). But maybe just ring her anyway. She will most likely appreciate the thought that you think of her on BOTH Mother’s Days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fail Better – Science Gallery Exhibition<\/h2>\n

\"\" 12:00 – 18:00, Sun 30 Mar<\/h3>\n

Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The newest Science Gallery exhibition has the theme “Fail Better” and it will run from 07 Feb – 27 Apr. The title comes from Samuel Beckett’s “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” and the exhibition looks at beautiful and instructive failures. The purpose is to open up a debate on the essential role of failure in human creativity, in technology, science, design, business and sport.<\/p>\n

20 unique exhibits, from a pair of explorer boots that caused Ranulph Fiennes to fail in an Everest attempt, via Christopher Reeve’s (Superman) original wheelchair, to a full-scale reconstruction of the the world’s worst or maddest invention: a big table that is meant to assist childbirth using centrifugal force.<\/p>\n

I visited the exhibition and I definitely recommend it. Age-wise, I would think that it is suitable for children from Age 12\/13 as long as the parents are prepared to read a good bit of explanatory text and then “translate” it for their children. There is no overly complicated stuff, but most of the exhibits are not self-explanatory. But there is a strong reason for bringing your kids: We have in general a negative attitude to Failure. This exhibition will help you to change that!<\/p>\n

Admission is free and opening hours are Tues-Fri 12:00-20:00 and Sat+Sun 12:00-18:00.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up<\/h2>\n

\"\" 14:00, Sun 30 Mar<\/h3>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

There are some hugely talented people among them and it is a great idea to meet up with others who have the same hobby.

First Wednesday – Free Entrance to OPW Sites<\/h2>\n

09:00, Wed 02 Apr<\/h3>\n

Various OPW locations in Dublin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Entry charges at nearly all OPW sites are waived once a month. The Office of Public Works (OPW) wants to encourage people to visit the historic sites that it manages and has therfore started this initiative in 2011.<\/p>\n

Most OPW owned sites can already be visited for free, but the sites that normally charge a fee will be free every first Wednesday as well. In the (extended) Greater Dublin Area this means you can visit the following sites for free:
\n+ The Casino, Marino
\n+ Dublin Castle, State Apartments
\n+ Kilmainham Gaol
\n+ Br\u00fa na B\u00f3inne Visitor Centre at Newgrange
\n+ Glendalough Visitor Centre in Wicklow<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, this event is very popular and therfore it is strongly recommended to arrive early at the venues. Once the day’s tickets are given out, you will not get access anymore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arghhh! Event Organising can’t be THAT difficult!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warning: This is a rant after I have wasted a huge amount of time trying to find out information about some really interesting-sounding event.<\/p>\n

When I compile the Dublin Event Guide every week, I only got about 10-15% of the event information directly from event organisers. All the other events, I come across when searching through approx. 400 web pages every week. This process is quite work and time intensive and it could be made soo much easier if event organisers remembered the absolute basics about event information.<\/p>\n

Just four pieces of information are needed: What? When? Where? How much?<\/p>\n

All event organisers manage to mention the WHAT?, but after that it gets really difficult it seems! :-\/ I have received event notices where the organisers forgot to tell me WHEN the event takes place! But the most annoying is when they don’t tell you how much it is? And unfortunately this seems to be an omission that extends from inexperienced to VERY experienced event organisers.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why they do that! If an event is free, you would think that an organiser wants to tell EVERYBODY and as loud as possible. After all, it is a great thing! If an event is not free, you would also expect that they are ok to tell their audience because at some point the audience will arrive at the point where someone expects money.<\/p>\n

I don’t think event organisers are so cunning that they think “I better keep the admission charge a secret, cause if I tell my audience that there is a charge they won’t come. If they don’t know, they will come and then I can force them to pay.” So why then can’t they just include it in the information about the event?<\/p>\n

When doing my event search for this week’s Dublin Event Guide, I found a really interesting event, but there was NO information about any admission charges or that the event might be free. I searched four websites, two event notice pages, two Facebook event pages, the Twitter account of the main person, ….and then I gave up!<\/p>\n

Please, dear event organisers, give us all four pieces of information: What? When? Where? and How much? Thanks!!<\/p>\n

*Rant over!*<\/p>\n

\nThis 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 http:\/\/www.dublineventguide.com<\/a>, where they can subscribe. If you have feedback – good or bad – PLEASE tell me via dublineventguide@gmail.com.
\nBTW: I am not paid or otherwise rewarded for compiling and distributing this Event Guide it is purely a hobby so your donations are needed: http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donation.htm<\/a> . Advertisement in or sponsorship of the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) is possible and very welcome, please contact me for more information.
\nPlease 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.
