Hi all!<\/p>\n

Thanks for the great feedback last week about the new responsive (i.e. mobile phone compatible) and re-freshed layout! Glad that you like it. ;-) It is still very similar to the previous look but that is on purpose. Bit by bit I will be able to add a lot more features though, so what you see now is not the end, it is just the beginning. ;-)<\/p>\n

This weekend and next week is super super busy. This edition of the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) features 90 (!!!) free events and that despite a LEvel 5 lockdown. Sure, nearly all the events are online. But even online culture is culture! ;-)<\/p>\n

Happy Chinese New Year and also Happy Valentine’s weekend! There is nothing objectionable about the Chinese New Year (I think!?), but Valentine’s Day is not loved by everybody. It is a tough day for some and an annoying day for others. Too much weight is put on it, I think. In the beginning of the Dublin Event Guide (Imagine, it\u00a0was around 12 years ago, because the Dublin Event Guide will be 14 this year. :-O.)\u00a0 I organised an alternative Valentine’s Day meet-up, for everybody (couples or singles) who loved the Dublin Event Guide and we were more than 100 people at it.<\/p>\n

For me\u00a0Valentine’s Day is a day that should be celebrated if you love ANYBODY. You have friends that you love? Tell them!\u00a0You have family members that you love? Tell them! You love yourself? (And I hope you do!) Tell yourself!\u00a0You have a partner that you love? Tell him or her! So take the obligation and pressure out of this day and just celebrate love! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!! Me and the Dublin Event Guide love\u00a0you!!!\u00a0\u00f0\u0178\u2019\u201c<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t love the Dublin Event Guide as much as would be good. The reach is twindling and you are needed to change that! You know how to show your love on Facebook, right? You say something about a post or click on the links that express love. (Facebook punishes me if I use the words that start with L, C and S. :-O). IF 200 people clicked on the L, C, S links then Facebook would show the Dublin Event Guide to DOUBLE the amount of people. So, please click! It is for a good cause!! :-)<\/p>\n

And remember, the best Dublin Event Guide experience is being had by e-mail subscribers. And you can subscribe on www.dublineventguide.com Then comes the website itself (it needs a bit of TLC,\u00a0I know!) and because Facebook doesn’t like nicely formatted content, the readers on Facebook end up at the lower end of the list. This is only for Facebook readers: If you follow the link at the VERY bottom of this post\u00a0you will also see the nice new layout and the FULL Dublin Event Guide. And if you just read the text version on Facebook, then it will only be a PART\u00a0of the complete newsletter. The events for next week will not be posted on Facebook anymore. Sorry!<\/p>\n

If you enjoy the great content in the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) and want to keep this weekly newsletter alive, then please consider helping with the cost for sending it.\u00a0Any amount will help, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I would suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just one Euro per month for four, sometimes five editions, where else can you get so much value for so little cost. :-)<\/p>\n

To donate you can use the PayPal or the Revolut link OR you can buy me a virtual coffee (I won’t drink it but will use the money to put into the Dublin Event Guide). YOUR contribution really counts! Thank you! :-)<\/p>\n

Please donate via www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a>
\nor for Revolut users among you just use @joergbrb (Revolut is moving away from phone numbers and to addresses like this one.)<\/p>\n

If PayPal or Revolut don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work for you, you can buy one or two or even three virtual coffees (or Hot Chocolates!) for the Dublin Event Guide and you can do that on the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Buy Me a Coffee\u00e2\u20ac\u009d page here www.buymeacoffee.com\/DublinEventG<\/a>\u00a0 .<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

HOME SCHOOL PARENTS, READ THIS!<\/b>
\nAre you battling with your kids over\u00a0home schooling? Feeling that you are doing a bad job? And your kids are feeling that they are failing?<\/p>\n

Read this great piece by writer Christine Derengowski about her realisation when battling with her 7 year old son:
\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/christine.zito.derengowski.writer\/posts\/445912180096673<\/a>
\nHere is the start of her story:<\/p>\n

I’ve lost a year with my kids battling over school and I’m done.
\nMy seven year old and I were in the midst of our usual asynchronous day battle. I had his writing homework in my hand from school. He’d written several full, well-thought-out sentences.
\nBut he won’t do the same for me, at least not without a fight.
\nI told him he didn’t have to write about his best day like his teacher asked, he could write about his worst. He could write about whatever he wanted as long as he wrote a few sentences.
\nHe said he’d get in trouble. He said he was doing a bad job in first grade. He was on the brink of tears but didn’t know why.
\nAnd it hit me.
\nInstead of getting frustrated and pushing the assignment, I sat down with him at his desk in his superhero bedroom.
\nI said “you won’t get in trouble and you can’t fail first grade. In fact, you’re kind of a superhero yourself.”\u009d
\nHe sat up in his chair just a little and looked at me with disbelief. …….<\/p>\n
