Hi all!<\/p>\n

It is harder and harder to complete the Dublin Event Guide at a reasonable time. And I honestly have no good solution for it. I am now working through two (!) nights without sleep and still can’t get it finished earlier. There are a number of reasons for that, but the main reason is the large amount of events and the amount of work to turn event organisers’ information in something readable. I refuse to cut & paste “my event is the bestest event ever experienced”-announcements, so I have to rewrite nearly everything to a degree. You would think event organisers would provide small chunks that contain all information, but unfortunately that is often not the case.<\/p>\n

[ad]<\/p>\n

The good news is, though, that there are lots and lots of great events again. So you won’t be bored this weekend if you spend a bit of time going through the list. ;-)<\/p>\n

For two weeks in a row only one single person supported the Dublin Event Guide with essential funds, could you help too? I need approx 4 donations per week to keep everything afloat. Thanks!<\/p>\n

Your support and help is needed and MUCH appreciated and here are my weekly appeals:<\/p>\n

The sending of the weekly e-mail newsletter costs EUR 170 per month and for this I need your help. If four wonderful people can be found per week, then we usually make it exactly to that amount. You can help here: www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> I am also looking for some corporate sponsors. Maybe two or three companies that are prepared to help with a little more than the individual donations of around 12 Euro. If you know anybody, send them my way. :-) Recently the donations dropped significantly. Maybe it is the bad times, but 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! Please…and Thanks! :-)<\/p>\n

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 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 22,000 people receive the Dublin Event Guide every week and we are more than 48,000 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 Birdcage Bakery & Cafe bake over fifty different types of little cakes and chocolates, croissants and scones and they also have sandwiches, soups, salads, tarts and calzoni. (Open: Mon-Fri from 07:30- 18:00). The Birdcage Bakery & Cafe in 21 Harcourt Road in Dublin 2 is supporting the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) and if you could have your Breakfast or Lunch there and thank them for their support, everyone benefits! ;-)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\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 the Feel Good Slot is something COMPLETELY different than normally.<\/p>\n

By coincidence I came across an advertisement campaign that impressed me so much that I want to share it with you here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XjJQBjWYDTs<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a campaign by “Always” and it is the #LikeAGirl campaign where people are asked to do things “Like a girl” and then afterwards think about and discuss what this really means. There is a powerful message in it and it is time to rewrite the meaning “Like a girl”.<\/p>\n

Watch it and share it with your friends and then let’s do things “Like a girl”, cause if the girl is achieving what she sets out to do, then I definitely want to do things “Like a girl”!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

Last week only Deborah B was so great and supported the Dublin Event Guide with a donation. I really appreciate the help! Thanks! 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!<\/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

I will have a Ukulele focused weekend! Today I will be doing a Ukulele Course at Axis in Ballymun, and tomorrow you will find me in Dun Laoghaire at the Ukulele Hooley. It is a coincidence that these two events both happen this weekend, but I am looking forward to it. :-) In between I will try to go to the People’s Art Exhibition, a great event at St. Stephen’s Green this weekend. And there is also the Nigerian Carnival this Saturday.<\/p>\n

The National Heritage Week is on, but it is difficult to find the events in the horrible What’s On section on the website. The Sand Sculptures Exhibition has been extended. On Sunday there is another day of the People’s Art Exhibition and a Plant Fair and Food Market at Farmleigh House and the Ukulele Hooley in Dun Laoghaire. Enough to do! :-)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SHIFT – 80s Tribute Gig – Ticket Competition<\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n
\n

Sat 23 Aug – 21:00
\nSugar Club, 8 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2<\/p>\n

Just a few days left to enter this competition:<\/p>\n

The 80s hair metal Tribute Band SHIFT, will celebrate a successful first half of 2014 with a gig in the Sugar Club on 23 Aug. The night will open with a screening of \u201cWayne’s World 2\u201d, followed by an extended performance by SHIFT, with an 80s DJ until late. Tickets can be bought online here<\/a> for EUR 10. On the night, tickets are EUR 12, or EUR 10 if you are wearing an awesome 80s rock outfit.<\/p>\n

SHIFT will definitely bring you back to a proper stadium gig in the 80s and you can find out more about them on www.gettheshift.com<\/a> They are a are a group of accomplished musicians and true performers, bringing the stadium show feel of 80s rock giants to the local stage; from costumes and accents to their stage presence and merchandise, the entire act is an authentic homage to 80s legends like Kiss, Whitesnake and Def Leppard.<\/p>\n

SHIFT was very generous and made 10 pairs of tickets available. The lucky winners are:
\nPamela Cardillo, Tracy O’Neill, Chris Flynn, Aideen Healy, Joan Guilfoyle, Darragh O Driscoll, Sueanne O’Halloran, James Elford, Frances Macken, T.J. Duff. Congratulations!<\/p>\n

If your name is not on the list, don’t despair! I hear there are still a few tickets avalable to buy at the door.<\/p>\n

Help the Dublin Event Guide! It won’t cost you a cent!<\/h2>\n
\n

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?<\/p>\n

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!!<\/p>\n

When you buy books online, buy them from Book Depository or from Amazon and use these links to go to the website:<\/p>\n

Book Depository<\/a>
\nAmazon<\/a><\/p>\n

And when you buy from Living Social or Groupon use these links:<\/p>\n

Groupon <\/a>
\nLivingSocial <\/a><\/p>\n

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

Pigsback<\/a> | O2<\/a> | Vodafone<\/a> | Pixmania<\/a>
\nExpedia<\/a> | Lastminute.com<\/a> | Hotels.com<\/a><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Giving money for free! That’s how easy it is. ;-) THANK YOU!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sand Sculptures Exhibition extended<\/h2>\n
\n

It was meant to finish on 21 August, but the exhibition will continue now until 27 Aug. It could be that the dates that originally were given were incorrect because the carving started a good bit later than planned, but it is also possible that the exhibition has been extended for a few days. Either way, the news is good for you: YOu have one more weekend to have a look!<\/p>\n

When you go, make sure that you read the descriptions. There are LOTS of descriptions around but many are for sculptures from previous years, so you will have to search a little to find the explanation of this year’s sculptures. Especially the middle one doesn’t make much sense without the explanation. http:\/\/www.dublincastle.ie\/NewsEvents\/Title,22941,en.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

National Heritage Week<\/h2>\n
\n

From 23-31 August the National Heritate Week takes place. It is a brilliant event with lots of individual events in historic locations. 1700 events take place throughout Ireland and approx. 400 of these are in Dublin. But unfortuantely the User Interface on the website at http:\/\/www.heritageweek.ie<\/a> is really bad. Forget the map, instead select the part of Dublin that you want to go to in the fields below and then search through 22 (!!) pages of events (for Dublin City). It would be great if for next year the information was easier accessible.<\/p>\n

In previous years there were books (they were thick!) available in the Tourist Office in Suffolk Street and I don’t know if they are available again, but without something like that, you are lost.<\/p>\n

An alternative strategy would be to go to the website of the location you are considering to visit and check there directly for events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Citizens Wallpaper – Film & Photography Exhibition<\/h2>\n

15-24 August<\/h3>\n

Fumbally Exchange Gallery, 5 Dame Lane, Dublin 2<\/p>\n

\n

Participants in the Citizens Wallpaper project produce visual sections of a wallpaper that reflect their view of their world by highlighting topics which interest and define them. The Citizens Wallpaper reflects serious contemporary issues such as ecology, politics, identity and memory. It explores modern cultural connections by sharing extracts from personal stories, giving a powerful voice to communal experiences.<\/p>\n

A Citizens Wallpaper exhibition is on show in the Fumbally Exchange Gallery and it comes in form of a film and photography exhibition. The themes covered are described here: http:\/\/www.citizenswallpaper.com\/?p=128<\/a> The images and films are based on themes around citizenship and identity and the exhibition is a view on new society at home and other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n

The organisation behind the exhibition is “Associated Photojournalists for Art & Culture” lead by international photojournalist Martin Nangle.<\/p>\n

Admission to the exhibition is free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

National Heritage Week<\/h2>\n

Dublin (various locations)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

National Heritage Week is packed with events and there is so much happening that I can’t help you much. All over Ireland more than 1700 events take place during the week<\/p>\n

Whether it’s castles, crafts, music or stories, National Heritage Week aims to involve you in something unique and memorable. Medieval fairs, night-time bat walks, wildlife walks and traditional music sessions, storytelling, historical re-enactments, and workshops for children; Heritage Week is a feast of events offering something for everyone and many of the events are especially for the family. Learn about Ireland’s multi-cultural past, its great ruins, unique stories, hidden histories and so much more.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the event search facility on the website is an absolute pain. The map on the What’s On site is nice, but delivery back a long list of non-descriptive headlines in tiny font. Instead select your region of Dublin in the search fields below. You still have to search through tooo many pages, but at least the output list contains a bit more information.<\/p>\n

I suggest you go to the venue directly and check the events there directly:<\/p>\n

Dublin (various locations)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Scavengers Assemble!<\/p>\n

This event is soo much fun, but it is not free. Why am I mentioning here despite the EUR 5 per person charge? Well, it is organised by the great volunteers from Milk & Cookies Stories who run free story telling events every single month and they need this Treasure Hunt to get some money. So considering that nearly all their events are free, I think they deserve a little Shout Out for this fundraiser.<\/p>\n

There will be lots of interesting, quirky, fun and odd (in a good way) challenges all over Dublin and you have to come back with photo evidence of your achievements. Lots of prizes are available as well so that lots of competing teams will easily get their money back in prizes.<\/p>\n

It is a little last minute when you get this e-mail magazine, but get your friends to join in anyway. No preparation needed!<\/p>\n

Bring your own camera and register at the Culture Box in Temple Bar at 13:00.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

National Heritage Week is packed with events and there is so much happening that I can’t help you much. All over Ireland more than 1700 events take place during the week<\/p>\n

Whether it’s castles, crafts, music or stories, National Heritage Week aims to involve you in something unique and memorable. Medieval fairs, night-time bat walks, wildlife walks and traditional music sessions, storytelling, historical re-enactments, and workshops for children; Heritage Week is a feast of events offering something for everyone and many of the events are especially for the family. Learn about Ireland’s multi-cultural past, its great ruins, unique stories, hidden histories and so much more.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the event search facility on the website is an absolute pain. The map on the What’s On site is nice, but delivery back a long list of non-descriptive headlines in tiny font. Instead select your region of Dublin in the search fields below. You still have to search through tooo many pages, but at least the output list contains a bit more information.<\/p>\n

I suggest you go to the venue directly and check the events there directly:<\/p>\n

The Big Ukulele Hooley Concert takes place on Sunday from 12:00 and it goes on for more than 7 (!) hours. 18 different acts will be on stage an perform in 15 min or 30 min slots. There will be a stage in People’s Park and the Food Market will also take place in the park at the same time.<\/p>\n

I was at the Ukulele Hooley in previous years and it is great fun listening to these funny looking instruments being played for hours. But don’t misunderstand that: The musicians are very very good and they take their music and their performances very serious, so your ears won’t suffer in the slightest. One of the top bands is the Ukeristic Congress (at 17:30) and they had a regular slot in Whelan’s for a few months approx. two years ago.<\/p>\n

I will definitely be there and this year I will even take some Ukulele Classes on Saturday for fun. The classes are in the Axis Centre in Ballymun and are not related to the Ukulele Hooley, but there are also classes or workshops at the Ukulele Hooley on Saturday, if you are interested.<\/p>\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. Find out on their website below or on their Facebook Page<\/a> where they will meet and join them if you do some sketching\/drawing yourself.

National Heritage Week<\/h2>\n

Dublin (various locations)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

National Heritage Week is packed with events and there is so much happening that I can’t help you much. All over Ireland more than 1700 events take place during the week<\/p>\n

Whether it’s castles, crafts, music or stories, National Heritage Week aims to involve you in something unique and memorable. Medieval fairs, night-time bat walks, wildlife walks and traditional music sessions, storytelling, historical re-enactments, and workshops for children; Heritage Week is a feast of events offering something for everyone and many of the events are especially for the family. Learn about Ireland’s multi-cultural past, its great ruins, unique stories, hidden histories and so much more.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the event search facility on the website is an absolute pain. The map on the What’s On site is nice, but delivery back a long list of non-descriptive headlines in tiny font. Instead select your region of Dublin in the search fields below. You still have to search through tooo many pages, but at least the output list contains a bit more information.<\/p>\n

I suggest you go to the venue directly and check the events there directly:<\/p>\n

I suggest you go to the venue directly and check the events there directly:<\/p>\n

Mayor of Dublin: Throwing a Spear!?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are strange traditions in our cultures and societies and often we do things just because they were always done like that. Some examples for strange\/unusual\/odd tidbits of traditions happen at Christmas, at weddings, birthdays and even funerals and at every other “big” event in our lives. An example is the dress code at weddings: Morning suit? White long dress? Something blue? Something borrowed? Or the turkey at Christmas and the much hated – but still eaten – Brussels Sprouts!?<\/p>\n

We often have no clue why we do certain behaviours and we don’t even consciously think about it, we just continue doing the same thing again and again. When there are official events, it is justified though to sometimes question the purpose, intention or sense a little further.<\/p>\n

We all know by now that the Mayor of Dublin is a purely representative role and it is high time that this will get changed. And until it does change and the mayor has proper responsibility for things in Dublin, maybe the one-year job holders in the Mayor’s job need to SEARCH for things to do. (There are not too many openings of new Shopping Centres and the Christmas Lights are only turned on once a year! ;-) )<\/p>\n

One of these traditions that the holder of the Mayor of Dublin does once a year is the “Casting of the Spear”. The Mayor is also the Honorary Admiral of Dublin Port (No proper responsibilities for the mayor, but lots of nonsensical titles!) and in this role he has to throw a spear to determine the boundaries of Dublin. There are no prizes for realising that all this doesn’t make any sense today anymore so why is it done year after year for the last 526 (!!!) years?<\/p>\n

Maybe someone thinks it CAN’T be stopped anymore after such a long time and it is a harmless event, so let’s continue. But if there is no sense in something at all…..???<\/p>\n

One of many reports about the event was in the free weekly Dublin People newspaper and is online here http:\/\/www.dublinpeople.com\/article.php?id=3883<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
