Hi all!<\/p>\n
I was at a brilliant seminar last weekend. It was a free three day seminar about personal development and NLP and it was amazing. About 600 people were at it (in the RDS) and while it is a sales event where the organisers are promoting their (quite pricey) week long courses, the three days are so filled with useful information and exercises that it is worth going there. I recommend the course “Breakthrough to Success” by Christopher Howard to everybody and I will probably go again when Chris Howard will be back from the 17-19 Oct this year. You can register already by following this link and I would expect that in October at least 3 times as many people take part in the course, so registering early is a good idea: Another thing that caught my attention big time in the last few was this: On Monday evening I received a mail from an occasional event organiser who expressed his confusion over the name of this Event Guide. He thought that “Dublin Event Guide” was the same name that the fortnightly printed publication “the event guide” uses. I explained that my understanding was that “the event guide” did not use the rather boring, bland and generic term “Dublin Event Guide” and that I had no intention to interfere with “the event guide” or steal their name. “the event guide” doesn’t limit itself to FREE events and with the full name “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)” of my Event Guide, I didn’t think there was a conflict. Apologies for the long introduction today, but we’ll get down to business right away.<\/p>\n ______________________________ 80s DANCE PARTY – VOLLEYBALL CLUB ______________________________ CONOLLY FESTIVAL THE CORONAS JAMES BROWN IN BALLSBRIDGE MONSTER TRUCK EXHIBITION MILL GALLERY – EXHIBITION DEFINING SPACE – ORIGINAL PRINT GALLERY ______________________________ SCIENCE GALLERY DUBLIN ON SCREEN – FILM FESTIVAL LIBRARY EVENTS FREE FILM SCREENINGS RETURN JOURNEY – PROJECT ARTS CENTRE RYE RIVER BAND FRIENDLY ENERGY BEING – BOOK LAUNCH CANADIANS ON THE PROWL ______________________________ SUNDAY AT NOON – CLASSICAL MUSIC PURTY SESSIONS TOYS OF YESTERDAY ABBEY THEATRE – DISCUSSION EPA CLIMATE LECTURE TOTALLY SWEDISH FESTIVAL ART IN ARCHITECTURE – LECTURE ZODIAC SESSIONS ODI IN CONCERT SPANISH FILM SCREENING – EL TREN DE LA MEMORIA FREE SALSA LESSONS UCD EQUALITY SOCIETY LECTURE SOYA PLANTATIONS FOR BIO FUELS IN PARAGUAY And some advance notice for three events that I will mention again next week:<\/p>\n RUSH HOUR RECITAL No. 4 ITALIAN POETRY EVENING TOUR DE FRANCE With such a full Event Guide again this week, I won’t keep you much longer!

\nYou will learn about Goal Setting, you will find out how you limit yourself in life and what do do\/change to have a hugely increased chance to reach your goals in life. The 3-day course is formally sold for GBP 825 per person and by following the link above you will get it for free. But I doubt that ever anybody has paid for it, so the GBP 825 is more a pro-forma price. You might wonder why I recommend it and if I gain if you follow the above link. The seminar did show me a few new things and motivated me even more, so that was my gain and if all of you can experience that it is a good thing. Enduring the sales talk is not too high a price to pay since you get valuable information during the rest of the time. If you follow the above link you are referred to by me and should you book a paid-for course, I would get up to 10% of the fees, but since that is not very likely (the courses are very expensive) and since I would be happily to share this referral reward with you, I have no moral problems recommending the event. Oh, I met some great people there as well! Iza, Yvonne, Yulyia, Remis and myself had lots of fun and we will probably be all back for more in October. :-)<\/p>\n
\nCoincidence or not, the next morning I get a call from someone who is in charge of “the event guide” informing me that he is of the opinion that he will have to send me a legal letter protesting against my use of the term “Dublin Event Guide”. I haven’t received that letter yet and am not sure what will happen next. But I now urgently need your help! I was never tooo keen on the name “Dublin Event Guide” but since it is very descriptive and I didn’t have a better idea, I only mentioned a few weeks back that maybe changing the name would be something to consider. Now I need help with that! I need suggestions from you for a new name! Send me a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a> with your ideas and suggestions for how we could call this community newsletter in the future, should I be forced to rename it. Be creative, be whacky if you want or boring if that fits better. I am open for all suggestions and will list them here next week. There will hopefully be a reward for your help in the form of some tickets, but I can’t promise that yet. Unfortunately there is a true saying “If you want peace, you need to prepare for war!” and despite the fact that I hope a simple and constructive solution for all involved will be found, the threat of a legal letter does force me to get prepared for the worst. So, this is the second thing I need your help with: I am looking for a solicitor with experience in Intellectual Property and Trademark law. But since I am not earning money with this Event Guide, I am looking for some advise for free. Do you maybe know somebody? A friend? Or a friend of a friend? Thanks for thinking about it! I will keep you all posted about the developments in this area.<\/p>\n
\n_____Competition_______________<\/p>\n
\nThe Dublin Volleyball Club organizes a 1980s dance party in the Sugar Club, Leeson Street, Dublin 2, on 06 March and has made a pair of tickets available to a member of the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) Community. The event takes place on Thursday 06 Mar from 20:00 until late and only the best music from the 80s will be played all night. If you want to win the pair of tickets, please send a mail with the title “Volleyball” and your mobile phone number in the body to dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a>. The mail has to be with me on 03 Mar at 13:00 and the winner will be notified by phone on that afternoon.
\nThis deadline will give you still enough time to buy tickets in case you didn’t win, so that you can enjoy the 80s fun in the Sugar Club either way! Tickets are EUR 10 and can be ordered by sending an email to 80sparty@dublinvolleyballclub.net<\/a>. For more information, visit the website www.dublinvolleyballclub.net<\/a>
\nThe event is an important fundraiser for the Volleyball Club. Jana, who is a member of our Event Guide community and heavily involved with the Volleyball Club asked me to tell the readers that she hopes you will all come along and bring your friends & family with you. With great dance music and prizes for best dress (encouraged, but not compulsory), best dance moves and also raffle prizes for the evening, this will be a great event no doubt. Spread the word!<\/p>\n

\nThe gallery with the slightly confusing name (I still think of big-wheeled American trucks rolling over little cars.) but with an interesting programme shows a new exhibition for a very limited time only. Monster Truck Gallery in 73 Francis Street is showing “Experiments in the Field of Fun*” by “team YES*” from 21 Feb-26 Feb.
\nteamYES* is a creative collaboration formed by Ben Mullen and John Moriarty.
\nThe description says (and I have cut out three quarters of it): “Neither strictly an Art or a Design exhibition and comprising drawing, sculpture, design and photography, Experiments in the Field of Fun* is a fresh take on how art and design may co-exist and inform each other in a world without creative prejudice.” Who comes up with that blurb? I am SURE the exhibition is interesting and if I find some time I will definitely go there myself, but why is it nowadays impossible to describe what an exhibition is all about? It must be me!!
\nExhibitions in the Monster Truck Gallery run from the opening night on a Thursday (18:00-20:00) until Tuesdays. Dally times are from 13:00-19:00 Fri, Sat, sometimes Sun, Mon and Tues. The gallery is closed on Wednesdays for installing the next exhibition and reopens on the Thursday at 18:00.
\nwww.monstertruck.ie<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe Mill Gallery in Dundrum Town Centre (i.e. Dundrum Shopping Centre!) shows an exhibition by Isabelle Gaborit and Cassandra Dorer called “RE-VEILING” from 16 Feb-13 Mar. Unfortunately it is not clear from the website if this exhibition is free, but I would expect so! The opening hours are Mon-Sat: 10:00-18:00.
\nA veil conceals, a veil reveals. A veil covers and because of its elusice nature it requires the viewer to stop, look and see what is hidden or appears to be hidden. The theme of the “veil” bears several layers of meaning. In their work, Dorer and Gaborit explore the concept of veiling from two different perspectives. Their works invite the viewer to enter their space.
\nwww.milltheatre.com<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe Original Print Gallery, 4 Temple Bar, Dublin 2 is showing Black Church Print Studio\u2019s latest exhibition Defining Space from 21 Feb-09 Mar. The phrase \u2018defining space\u2019 is intended to capture the many ambiguities and tensions inherent in the ways in which space \u2013 as a term and a property – is variously used in different fields. Space can be defined in very concrete and in very abstract ways. It can be social, political, spiritual and cultural as much as physical. Admission is free. www.originalprint.ie<\/a>
\nOpening times: Mon-Fri: 10:30-17:30 Sat: 11:00-17:00 Sun: 14:00-18:00<\/p>\n
\n______Saturday_________________<\/p>\n
\nRemember that the Science Gallery is showing “Lightwave” for another week.
\nThe exhibition will be on show until 01 March. The opening hours are 17:00-21:00 (it has to be dark outside for the light objects to have the desired effect!) from Tues-Sun.
\nThe Science Gallery is only a 7 minute walk from Grafton Street (at the Pearse Street\/Westmoreland Street side of the Trinity College campus) and if you only want a quick peak, you won’t need more than 20-30 minutes. Admission is free.

\nThe Jameson Dublin International Film Festival is running until the 24 Feb and Dublin’s Cinemas will be celebrated with one more event.

\nTo celebrate the vital role which Dublin has played on screen, the Dublin International Film Festival is presenting 6 programmes of films and non-fiction material shot on the streets of Dublin since 1897. The screenings are all outdoor screenings (Dress warmly! It still gets freezing cold when sitting outside for a while.) and are a great idea for the Dublin International Film Festival to get closer to the people in Dublin. The only remaining screening is:
\n– The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Sat 23 Feb at14:00+16:30 at Smithfield Market, D1. The screening is free of charge. www.dubliniff.com\/screening_live.php<\/a><\/p>\n

Filmed by Michael O’Donovan. The description says “Installation, images, movements and sound, rhythmical and repetitive patterns, overlapping and interweaving at apparently random times, providing for recurring encounters in space, suggesting meeting and parting, unavoidable intimacy followed by inevitable distance.” The installation can be visited from 20 Feb-01 Mar from 12:00-20:00 (Mon-Sat). Return Journey incorporates a live performance element by Mary Nunan, Immaculada M. Pavon and Mary Wycherly – performances will be running continuously throughout each Admission is free and no ticket is required.

\nThe singer\/songwriter ODi, who is originally from Wexford and lives now in Leeds (UK), is performing in Thomas Reads on Wed 27 Feb from 21:00. It is in the Thomas Reads pub on the corner of Parliament Street and Dame Street (Dublin 2, 01-6728200). The description says “ODi spent her early years in Wexford and Dublin listening to and being inspired by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, David Gray, The Frames and PJ Harvey to mention but a few. After taking in the music of such songwriters and the influences of the Dublin College scene which produced the likes of Damien rice and Bell X1, ODi was driven to write her own songs. These songs have already been described as “beautiful” “emotional” and “well crafted”. Combine these songs with a unique and captivating voice (already likened to Suzanne Vega, Natalie Merchant and Beth Orton) and a bit of Irish charm and beauty you have a very exciting prospect for the very near future and years to come. ODi will be on tour throughout the early part of 2008 to promote the release of \u201cWhat You Deserve\u201d before returning to the studio to begin work on her Debut album. www.odimusic.co.uk<\/a>”<\/p>\n
