Hi all!<\/a><\/p>\n

A busy weekend AND continued nice weather, how wonderful is that!? And the best news is that the longterm forecast even indicated good weather for NEXT weekend. Next weekend is the weekend of the City Specatcular (former Street Performance World Championship). This is a MUST GO event, so put it in your calendar. <\/a><\/p>\n

[quads id=1]<\/p>\n

On the donation front it is now getting very serious! The bill for June is now down to EUR 140, but on Monday the July bill will be added to the outstanding amount and that means I have a bill of EUR 380 in front of me. It was never that bad before. :-O If at the end of July the bill is not cleared, I VERY RELUCTANTLY have to put the Dublin Event Guide “at risk”. Which means that I might to consider winding it down. :-( So I URGENTLY need to find money and I really really need your help! If you could support the Dublin Event Guide, I am suggesting a very fair EUR 12 for the year, that’s just 23 cent per Dublin Event Guide Edition or less than 3 pints for the whole year! That’s not much if you think about how much value the Dublin Event Guide brings you every week! ;-) Higher and lower donations are also appreciated! Every Euro counts!<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are a great and helpful person, you can help via PayPal here<\/a> or if you don’t like PayPal too much and prefer to use your credit card go to GoFundMe here<\/a>. THANK YOU!!<\/p>\n

And don’t forget that you can also help without spending a cent of your own money, if you buy through the advertisement links that are in the Dublin Event Guide or that are on the Dublin Event Guide Shopping Page at http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com\/shop<\/a> If you want to buy from Groupon or LivingSocial or Amazon or Bookdepository or eBay or Asos or PrettyLittleThing or SportsDirect, just go to that website and click on the relevant link and it will bring you to the right place. The company you buy from will take 5-8% out of their profit (depending on the company) and will reward the Dublin Event Guide for promoting that company. But importantly you don’t pay more! Here are the links: www.dublineventguide.com\/shop<\/a> Thanks for using this page!<\/p>\n

++++++++<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dublin Event Guide needs your continued help in two areas: Your donations<\/a> help paying the bills. Just 1 Euro per month (12 Euro per year) would be great, more would be even better. Not many subscribers are prepared (or able) to help, so please don’t rely on others! Your money will be used to pay the monthly EUR 240 bill for sending the newsletter using MailChimp<\/a>, for web hosting and domain names. I am happy to work 35 hours on the Dublin Event Guide every week without making anything from it, but for the bills I need your help.<\/p>\n

You can make your donation at http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donate.htm<\/a> using Paypal or CreditCard or send me a mail at dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a> if you prefer to pay by bank transfer. Corporate or enterprise sponsors are very welcome too and will get a bundle of benefits as a thank you for their donation, contact me on sponsorship@dublineventguide.com to discuss the details.<\/p>\n

And here is the second area where you can help: Without you spreading the word we would have never reached 24,000 subscribers and 75,000 Facebook Likes. Send your friends to http:\/\/www.dublineventguide.com<\/a> where they can subscribe as well.<\/p>\n

+++++++++++<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Without putting your hand in your pocket at all you can help the Dublin Event Guide! Just use the ad links in the Dublin News Section and the banner ads in other sections as often as possible 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 publication (for example for Groupon<\/a>, LivingSocial<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Book Depository<\/a>, LastMinute<\/a> etc), then you help the Dublin Event Guide everytime.
This is how it works: The company you buy from will give a small commission (5-8%) to the Dublin Event Guide as a thanks for pointing you in their direction. This might only be 30 cent a go, but if many of you did it every time you buy something online, then it could make a big dent into the EUR 240 needed. Importantly, you do not pay more, but the merchant accepts a slightly smaller profit. So clicking on these ads is helping everybody! Thanks!<\/p>\n

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

This week’s Feel Good Slot brings another quote. I don’t know who said this, but I don’t think it needs any further explanation: <\/a><\/p>\n

Feed the areas of your life you want to grow. Starve the parts that need to go.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Last week Belinda B, Brendan D, Cathie S and Margaret P were so great to help with a very very much needed donation. But we are FAR away from clearing the bill for June and July is already here. :-O<\/a><\/p>\n

The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is EUR 240 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 please go to here<\/a> and give something back if you can!<\/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.<\/a><\/p>\n

You can donate online by following this link to the PayPal&CreditCard donation page<\/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

Lots of events again this week! If you are in the area the Clondalkin Village Festival or the Tallafest might be interesting. There will be outdoor movie screenings in Dun Laoghaire and the HUGE Pride Parade is happening.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Sunday is National Playday in Merrion Square, something for all parents. ;-)<\/a><\/div>\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?<\/a><\/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!!<\/a><\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

Or when you buy from eBay or you want to buy holidays or clothes or anything else, check first<\/a><\/p>\n

www.dublineventguide.com\/shop<\/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!<\/a><\/p>\n

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

And if you want to donate money directly, then you can do that here: http:\/\/www.perfectresults.info\/donation.htm<\/a> or http:\/\/www.GoFundMe.com\/DublinEventGuide<\/a><\/p>\n

New Mayor for Dublin<\/h2>\n
\n

Every year, Dublin City Councillors elect a new Mayor and last week was that day again. This would be a relevant event in many cities around the world, but not in Dublin. The mayor of Dublin has a big title (“Lord Mayor”), but absolutely no power to change anything. He will move into Mansion House for the year, will cut ribbons and open shops and has the BIG job of turning on the Christmas Lights in December.<\/a><\/p>\n

Unless we get a directly elected mayor – and this should have happened years ago – he is just a figure head that we easily could do without. :-O Instead of a mayor, an unelected “City Manager” is running Dublin and he often even ignores what the Dublin City Council wants. “In the interest of the people” is different!!<\/a><\/p>\n

The new mayor is the 349th one. Mad!<\/a><\/p>\n

The name of the mayor is Nial Ring. Ring was part of disgraced Taoiseach Bertie Ahern’s inner circle in Fianna Fail for many years<\/a>, but when his party didn’t want to support him when he wanted to be elected as a councillor, he suddenly became a “Independent” candidate. In 2017 he lost his house in Clontarf<\/a> because he didn’t pay the mortgage payments and had arrears of EUR 500,000, so maybe he is lucky that he can move into Mansion House now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

“Hosepipe Ban” – Are they for real??<\/h2>\n
\n

When I read this, I thought it was a Waterford Whispers News story. (Waterford Whispers News is an Irish satirical news website that usually hits the nail on the head with their brilliant headlines.) The announcement that made me think it is a joke was the announcement by Irish Water<\/a> on Friday that from Monday 02 July a “hosepipe ban” would be in effect in the Greater Dublin area.<\/p>\n

At first I thought it is Irish Water nonsense, but checking into it a bit more I realised that a piece of Irish Law really mentions<\/a> that the “use of water drawn through a hosepipe” can be prohibited for the use of “watering a garden, watering recreational parks or sports grounds […], irrigating or spraying crops […], or washing a mechanically propelled vehicle or a trailer”.<\/p>\n

Water conservation makes sense if there is a shortage and due to the idiotic way public water supplies in Ireland are ONLY served from surface water in lakes and reservoirs (instead of using water from underground sources) we are currently entering a period of water shortage. BUT a “hosepipe ban” just sounds like a ridiculous piece of law.<\/a><\/p>\n

The ban will be in place for the whole month of July and if someone is found in breach of the ban, they could be fined EUR 125.<\/a><\/p>\n

But here comes the interesting stuff:<\/a><\/p>\n

While the wording above is taken from the “Water Services Act 2007”, Irish Water is NOT banning all wasteful water use. Instead they reduce the ban to “watering a garden, cleaning a private motor-vehicle using a domestic hosepipe. […], filling or maintaining a domestic swimming or paddling pool (except when using hand held containers filled directly from a tap), […]” so that means if you use a domestic hosepipe you are not allowed to clean the car, but if it is a commercial hosepipe, you can go ahead without any issues. It also means that your swimming pool must not be filled via hosepipe, but if there is a tap above the swimming pool OR if you get LOTS of big containers and fill it by hand, you are all above the law.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dublin Pride Parade 2018<\/h2>\n

12:00, Sat 30 Jun<\/h3>\n

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

The Dublin Pride Parade is the culmination of the Dublin Pride Festival and it is a colourful, good vibes event that is for the LGBT community and everyone else.<\/a><\/p>\n

The parade will take a completely different route than in previous years, so do NOT go to the Garden of Remembrance!!
Instead it will start at the Leeson Street side of St. Stephen’s Green with speeches and entertainment at 12:00 and then at 14:00, the parade will go along St. Stephen’s Green South, Cuffe Street, Kevin Street to Patrick Street, pass St. Patrick’s Cathedral and go towards Christ Church Cathedral. Then turn left into High Street and cross the Liffey at Fr Matthew Bridge into Church Street. The last bit is via King Street North onto Smithfield Plaza.<\/p>\n

Smithfield Plaza is were the Pride Village will be with more entertainment and food etc.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2017 up to 30,000 people took part in the March and there were 60 floats, so this is a BIG event!<\/a><\/p>\n

——–<\/a><\/p>\n

After the Pride Parade all the usual LGBT venues (The George, Pantibar, Outhouse) and many other venues throughout Dublin will celebrate Dublin Pride with street festivals, gigs and parties. Not all are free, but if you check out http:\/\/www.dublinpride.ie\/events\/#30<\/a> for a full list, you will find all relevant details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Life at the Edges – Science Gallery Exhibition<\/h2>\n

12:00 – 18:00, Sat 30 Jun<\/h3>\n

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

The current exhibition in the Science Gallery is called “Life at the Edges” and it will run from 22 June until 30 September,<\/a><\/p>\n

The exhibition is looking at space travel, Mars exploration and it also looks at other hostile or difficult environments like antarctica, volcanoes and living in a floating city.<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the most interesting exhibits are:<\/a><\/p>\n

+ Habitat of a simluated Mars mission
+ Creating souvenirs from Lava
+ Process of creating an iron ring from grass that grew on iron polluted soil
+ Animals that travelled to space
+ A plant growing in Mars atmophere
+ A planet to be built from dead bodies<\/p>\n

It is a fascinating exhibition, but take your time to understand the exhibits and think a little more about some of them! It is worth it!<\/a><\/p>\n

The website below lists all exhibits and provides some explanation so that you can either before or after your visit check further details.<\/a><\/p>\n

All Science Gallery exhibitions are suitable for ALL ages, even younger children will be able to take part\/follow. Some of the exhibits need a bit more of an age-appropriate explanation for younger kids than others, but nearly everything can be simplified for kids.<\/a><\/p>\n

I strongly suggest to use the help of the amazing mediators, who can explain everything you see, especially if you don’t want to read all the explanations that are next to every exhibit.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Science Gallery has very visitor friendly opening hours of Tue-Fri 12:00-20:00 and Sat+Sun 12:00-18:00.<\/a><\/p>\n

Admission is free.<\/a><\/div>\n

Farmleigh House, Castleknock end of Phoenix Park, Dublin 15<\/p>\n\n\n
\n

“Portraiture as Criticism” is a talk in the Farmleigh Gallery in connection with the current \u2018Face to Face\u2019 exhibition. Writer and Irish Times journalist Fintan O\u2019Toole will be the speaker. <\/a><\/p>\n

Admission is free, but limited places available and Farmleigh House requested booking via farmleighevents@opw.ie Because there won’t be enough time to book from when you read this until the start of the event, I suggest that if you really want to attend the talk, you go to Farmleigh Gallery and check there if there might be still some space left.

Magazine Fort – Guided Tour<\/h2>\n

10:00, Sun 01 Jul<\/h3>\n

Magazine Fort, Phoenix Park, Dublin 8<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Magazine Fort in Phoenix Park was for a long time completely neglected, but it is hugely rich in history. Many have seen it as a barred off concrete fortress in a corner of Phoenix Park and even more don’t even know or have forgotten that it exists. The old Phoenix House, the home of the British Viceroy, was on the site where the fort was built from the early 17th century and then in 1734 the Fort was built and extended in 1801.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1916 the Fort was raided by the rebels who expected to find a lot of explosives there, but found the Fort nearly empty. In 1939 the IRA raided the Fort and stole more than a million rounds of ammunition, but most of it was recovered over the following weeks.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since 1988, the Irish Army doesn’t use the Fort anymore and gave it back to the Office of Public Works (OPW), but not much good has happened to the Fort in the last 30 years (!!) and there were numerous speculations about the reasons for that.<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally since 2016, guided tours are provided and this year from April until end of October there will be three tours every Sunday at 10:00, 12:00 and 14:00. Only 20 places are available on each tour and if there is a big event in Phoenix Park the tour will be cancelled.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tickets are available at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre on a first come, first served basis and can not be pre-booked. A shuttle bus will bring the ticket holders to the Fort.<\/a><\/div>\n

Life at the Edges – Science Gallery Exhibition<\/h2>\n

12:00 – 18:00, Sun 01 Jul<\/h3>\n

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

The current exhibition in the Science Gallery is called “Life at the Edges” and it will run from 22 June until 30 September,<\/a><\/p>\n

The exhibition is looking at space travel, Mars exploration and it also looks at other hostile or difficult environments like antarctica, volcanoes and living in a floating city.<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the most interesting exhibits are:<\/a><\/p>\n

+ Habitat of a simluated Mars mission
+ Creating souvenirs from Lava
+ Process of creating an iron ring from grass that grew on iron polluted soil
+ Animals that travelled to space
+ A plant growing in Mars atmophere
+ A planet to be built from dead bodies<\/p>\n

It is a fascinating exhibition, but take your time to understand the exhibits and think a little more about some of them! It is worth it!<\/a><\/p>\n

The website below lists all exhibits and provides some explanation so that you can either before or after your visit check further details.<\/a><\/p>\n

All Science Gallery exhibitions are suitable for ALL ages, even younger children will be able to take part\/follow. Some of the exhibits need a bit more of an age-appropriate explanation for younger kids than others, but nearly everything can be simplified for kids.<\/a><\/p>\n

I strongly suggest to use the help of the amazing mediators, who can explain everything you see, especially if you don’t want to read all the explanations that are next to every exhibit.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Science Gallery has very visitor friendly opening hours of Tue-Fri 12:00-20:00 and Sat+Sun 12:00-18:00.<\/a><\/p>\n

Admission is free.<\/a><\/div>\n

Merrion Square, Dublin 2<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

This year’s National Playday will be on Sunday in Merrion Square.<\/a><\/p>\n

There will be lots of opportunities to play for kids and youths and because some of the games can get a little messy, don’t wear the good clothes this Sunday.<\/a><\/p>\n

——-<\/a><\/p>\n

The day is a family friendly play day that is celebrated every year and it is a great day for kids, but you really have to wonder if the organisers (Dublin City, Department of Children and the Ombudsman for Children) are COMPLETELY out of touch with children. Read the theme of this year’s Play Day. It is “Celebrating 25 Years of Article 31; the child\u2019s right to play”. Who came up with that nonsense?<\/a><\/div>\n

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

14:00, Sun 01 Jul<\/h3>\n

Dublin (various locations) <\/p>\n\n\n
\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.<\/a><\/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. 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!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

William Burton Conyngham (1733-1796), the leading antiquarian of his day, commissioned international artists to execute hundreds of drawings of Ireland\u2019s ancient monuments which formed the most extensive collection of watercolours in eighteenth-century Ireland. He intended (in vain) to publish them in albums, but only Grose\u2019s Antiquities of the 1790s partially succeeded in doing so.<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr Peter Harbison, a member of the Royal Irish Academy, is talking about William Burton Conyngham. <\/a><\/p>\n

Rathfarnham Castle – Free Admission<\/h2>\n

09:00, Wed 04 Jul<\/h3>\n

Rathfarnham Castle, Rathfarnham Road, Dublin 14<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

We once had this brilliant monthly event called “First Wednesday” or then “Free Wednesday”, when on the first Wednesday of the month all state owned Irish heritage sites waived all admission charges for the day. Unfortunately this super popular opportunity to bring culture closer to people in Ireland has been cancelled for nearly all Dublin sites and for other popular sites in other parts of Ireland, which was a very bad decision.<\/a><\/p>\n

But there is ONE single site left in Dublin that currently offers free admission on the first Wednesday of the month and that is Rathfarnham Castle! Tickets will be limited, so it is strongly recommended to go there early.<\/a><\/p>\n

To find the list of participating sites go to this PDF document<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Temple Bar Craft Market<\/h2>\n

Temple Bar, Dublin 2<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n

The Temple Bar Craft Market during the week is back and it has moved to Thursdays in 2018. Organised by the Temple Bar Company the market will bring handcrafted jewellery, wood design, handmade soaps, original art, photography, fashion, specialised cards and stained-glass crafts.<\/a><\/p>\n

The market starts at 14:00 and finishes at 20:00, but is still carrying the totally nonsensical and completely misleading name “Temple Bar NIGHT Market”. I will just ignore this unsuitable and incorrect name and will rename it to “Temple Bar Craft Market”. ;-)<\/a><\/div>\n

Merrion Square, Dublin 2<\/p>\n\n\n
\n

The best three festival in Dublin ever were the “Dun Laoghaire Festival of World Cultures”, the “Dublin City Soul Festival” and the “Street Performance World Championship”. For very different reasons, they are all gone and people that remember them have been around the houses for a while by now. But one of the three is luckily only gone by name and has survived many many great years and given us in Dublin SOOO Much entertainment over the years: The Street Performance World Championship lost the championship part, but is still with us as the “City Spectacular”, sponsored by Laya Healthcare.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank goodness it is still around! And from 06-08 July it is back in 2018. In addition to the Street Performance LOTS of other components were added and I will give you some more details in next week’s Dublin Event Guide.<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, I just want to mention that the City Spectacular already starts on Friday with a number of Street Performance shows on two of the four stages. It will run from 12:00-19:30 and especially if you are not around on Saturday or Sunday, don’t miss this preview.<\/a><\/p>\n

There will be lots of street performers who will do their full shows on the “stages” in Merrion Square. From juggling via magic to acrobatics you will see outstanding performers. Admission to the whole event is free, but the performers are not paid and will hold their hat out at the end of the shows and you should reward their great work.<\/a><\/p>\n

The website has a lot of information about the event, but if you just want to see the timetable and map then you can download it from this page: https:\/\/www.cityspectacular.com\/maps<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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 and I am VERY serious about that!<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you Michael D. Higgins, but it is enough!
<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might completely disagree with me, because for some reason Miggeldy Higens<\/a>, as Irish President Michael D. Higgins is also known, found a large amount of fans in the last few years, but I think he should stick to his promise from 7 years ago, when he told the voters that he will only be available for ONE 7 year period.<\/p>\n

I was never a big fan of Higgins and it all come from one chance encounter a good few years ago when he was in a queue to go to an event I also went to. I won’t go into details, but let’s just say that he didn’t impress IN THE SLIGHTEST. Since then I encountered him at various events and he never managed to change my opinion.<\/a><\/p>\n

7 years ago he promised that he wouldn’t be glued to the role and would leave after 7 years and while he hasn’t really done anything wrong in these 7 years, I would think that at 77 it is time for him to retire.<\/a><\/p>\n

But when I thought about it, I was reminded that the Queen is 92 or something like that and she has as much relevance in the day to day business of a country as Michael D Higgins. And the Pope is 81 and he is also still running his show. So maybe we should leave Higgins in Phoenix Park another 7 years? Also because we don’t really have someone other obvious candidate? You know what, the more I think about it, I don’t really care if it is him or not. But PLEASE no more of his own poems, they are awful!<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing that still puzzles me though is how he justifies in his head what he is doing: When he was younger, he was a staunch socialist\/Marxist, now at 77 he is making EUR 250,000 per year plus about 80,000 in money to run the show. Shouldn’t this cause the biggest ideological conflict ever? Seemingly not enough to give the other 7×250,000 a miss that he could pocket. :-O<\/a><\/p>\n

This 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.
BTW: 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.
Please 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.
