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

\n

The weeks in May and June are usually the busiest weeks of the year and luckily, this year things are back to “normality” after the odd times since 2020.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

I have to admit that I have forgotten a lot of details already. Like the totally nonsensical 2km movement restriction. Or the panic buying of flour and eggs and the banana bread craze. Looking back, the panic is somewhat understandable, but you’d wish we and the authorities would lean from it.<\/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
\n

Speaking of “learning from it”: I am still trying to find a way \u00a0to get the Dublin Event Guide to you faster. Leaving out weekday events could have been a solution, but I was happy to receive a good few messages from people that use the Dublin Event Guide to plan their cultural pursuits during the week as well. I am glad my work helps!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

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

So weekend events will stay for now. So here is another idea. It is more a compromise, but it could work and I will try it this week; Normally there is an event title, some features, then the time, followed by address and website link. This week I will make ONE small change, for weekday events only, I will leave out the address. Not a big change, but it could help. The venue will still be mentioned and the link to the website will still bring you to the details. I hope this small change will be an acceptable compromise and we will find out if it helps getting this newsletter out faster.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

If you read this on Facebook and wonder about weekday events, then go to https:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com and be surprised about the amount of weekday events every week. On Facebook you will only get the weekend events but on the website are all events. And remember, every event in this Dublin Event Guide is free!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

And the result of making a serious effort? It didn’t work to get the Dublin Event Guide earlier. Pants! There is soo much happening this week! I will put my thinking cap on again! :-o<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Donations in May:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nEUR 186<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Thank you soo much for helping again this week! The great people who donated were Ash and Louis. Thank you! :-)\u00a0Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week.I appreciate you and your support!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

The 800th anniversary donations in March were EUR 250 and for now, I keep that separate from the donations for the monthly bills. The reason for that is that I plan to use that money to fix and modernise the Dublin Event Guide website. It really needs it and I was postponing that for a long time of the cost that are not covered by the normal donations.<\/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.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/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 Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. 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

\"\"<\/a><\/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

++ Exhibition: \u201cBorders: Studying Margins To Question The World\u201d
\n<\/strong>until 05 June 2023 \u2013 daily 10:00-17:00 \u2013 EPIC, chq Building, Customs House Quay, Dublin 1 \u2013 Adm: General Museum Admission<\/em>
\nBorders are to be found everywhere: in the shadows of the walls being built all over the world, on the fingerprints of travellers and asylum seekers, or in the everyday lives of cross-border workers. Borders change and move within time and space, depending on political and economic events. Nowadays, they emerge across diverse places and in different shapes, impacting our individual and collective lives.
\nAlthough we are meant to be in a globalised world, borders are being reactivated and strengthened for some people while they open and disappear for others.
\n\u2014<\/p>\n

Designed by the Mus\u00e9e national de l\u2019histoire de l\u2019immigration (French National Museum of the History of Immigration), this exhibition draws on historic, geographical, economic and human perspectives. It is an invitation to deepen our understanding of how borders are constructed and evolve, beyond the dichotomy between open or closed, nationals and foreigners, economic migrants and political refugees. The cartographic work raises the issue of orders of magnitude, of proportions in representations, and highlights the relativity of data.
\n\u2014
\nThis exhibition will be on show in EPIC until 05 June and admission is included in the normal admission charges. https:\/\/epicchq.com\/exhibition\/borders-studying-margins-to-question-the-world\/<\/a><\/p>\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 something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! 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 price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get!<\/p>\n

Check out the website at https:\/\/www.getthislink.com\/Udemy22<\/a> And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

+++ National Biodiversity Week
\n<\/strong>From 19-28 May National Biodiversity Week will take place. There will be a range of free events (over 100!) in connection with wildlife and biodiversity and you find them here https:\/\/www.biodiversityweek.ie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ Bealtaine Festival<\/strong>
\nEvery year in May the Bealtaine Festival takes place in Ireland. It “celebrates the arts and creativity as we age”. Once upon a time it as an arts festival for seniors and seniors were described as people 55+. But who nowadays wants to be called a senior at 55? ;-) So now it is for all “older people” with no age specified anymore.
\nIf you are “older” (don’t ask “in comparison to what?”!!!) then this festival is for you.
\nThere will be lots of events throughout May. I will list some in the Dublin Event Guide, but won’t be able to list all 90 events for Greater Dublin. You can find the full list at https:\/\/bealtaine.ie\/events-2\/<\/a> Many events are free.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
