Hi all!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Looking at events in Dublin at the moment, we can see that things are still not fully back. Websites with event announcements are still neglected (It seems that some venues can’t find their websites anymore. :-) ), Facebook Event\u00a0Pages are\u00a0still broken…and nobody in Facebook cares about it in the slightest (To me that is a clear indication that Facebook’s future is bleak!) and there are a LOT less free gigs than 2 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

The good news is that events have returned and more are still coming back. The other good news is that a good few culture venues are keeping the online events going. This is great because it gives a lot more people a chance to attend interesting talks etc. After 2 years of a new living, I think online events (ideally in the form of hybrid (online and in-person) events) should stay!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

What concerns me, though, is that free pub gigs have dropped in numbers. There are a number of pubs that haven’t given up on free gigs for their customers, but others have scaled the numbers down AND have increased the admission charges. This is not a complaint, as I am fully in support of paying musicians, and I also understand that after no income for 2 years, pubs need to make some money again. But I hope we will be able to have BOTH!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n
\n

By the way, if you know of good free events that more people should know about, then send me an e-mail and I will add them if possible.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Donations in April:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nEUR 252<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\n(By the end of the month, this number has\u00a0to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Last week the great people that helped with a donation were: Eric, Edel, Majella, Orla, Joan, John, Carol.\u00a0Thank you very much! You are appreciated and your donation is as well!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses. The first of those bonuses is described above.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Here are some more details about donations:
\nAny amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That\u2019s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 3. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: https:\/\/gturl.eu\/DEGdonate<\/a>. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED<\/span> subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via http:\/\/www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb <\/strong>or now also https:\/\/revolut.me\/joergbrb<\/a>
\n(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/DublinEventG<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

And there is one other way to help and it is even free:\u00a0If you come to\u00a0http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com<\/a>\u00a0and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent!\u00a0?<\/p>\n

+++ Arctic Explorer – The Augmented Reality Experience – The Square Tallaght<\/strong>
\nThe Square Tallaght is inviting everyone to get close and personal with Polar Bears, playful Penguins and Killer Whales in their 3D augmented reality experience from 08-21 April (09:00-21:00). You can even capture and share your live experience, with their Snapshare facility direct to your email\/social media. You will find “Arctic Explorer” on Level 2 outside JD Sports. Admission is free and booking is not required. Bring the whole family! https:\/\/www.thesquare.ie\/ourevents\/<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0https:\/\/www.thesquare.ie\/arcticexperience<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ Five Lamps Arts Festival<\/strong>
\nThe Five Lamps Arts Festival is a yearly festival in the wider Amiens Street area, where you find the Five Lamps at the junction of Amiens Street with Portland Row, North Strand Road, Seville Place and Killarney Street. It is a great festival with a wide range of events and many of them are free. The website is challenging (to put it mildly!) but I spent some extra time to sieve out all the free events and most of them are listed above. https:\/\/fivelampsarts.ie\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ Low Priced Books with free delivery<\/strong>
\nBook Depository is the place where you can buy low priced books, usually for better prices than on Amazon and Book Depository always delivers for free. And\u00a0by buying books from Book Depository you will also help the Dublin Event Guide for no additional cost to you. Use this link: https:\/\/shor.by\/BookDepository<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 .<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES<\/strong>
\nIs there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or NLP or some Business related “soft skills”? Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
\nThe lowest cost for courses this month will be around 12.99. Check out the website at https:\/\/shor.by\/GqCk<\/a> And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
