Hi all!
Do you read newspapers or watch TV? More and more people that I know decide to go on a “news diet”. They don’t shut themselves off completely from what is happening in the world, but they are very selective in what news and particularly what sources they use. The reason for that approach is the influence media has over our lives and also over our opinions and as a consequence even over our happiness. Rarely you find really good news in newspapers. My life – and I hope this also applies to yours – is made up of good news and bad news. In fact there is a lot more good news than bad news! But if you look at a newspaper, you would think that the world is mainly full of bad news. If you are in need of some good news, you can follow the Twitter feed “Good News Ireland” at www.twitter.com/goodnewsireland And while you are on Twitter, you can also follow me at www.twitter.com/JoergSt where you regularly can read about event related (good) news. The Feel Good Slot here in the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) is another source for positive news or stories, so check it out if you don’t do it already anyway.
[ad]
And if you want to share good news with your friends and family etc tell them about the Dublin Event Guide and get them to subscribe on www.dublineventguide.com And also send them to LIKE the Dublin Event Guide on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide . Good news for everyone!
In my never ending quest for money to pay the Dublin Event Guide bills (EUR 170 per month) I have to ask you again if you can spare EUR 1 per month. If YOU have the tiny amount of 25 cent per week for the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events), I will give the equivalent of EUR 700 per week to you through more than 35 hours of my work. Go to www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm to help. Thanks!
And continue also to help by ALWAYS using the links in the Dublin News Section and the ads in the Dublin Event Guides when you order goods. If you buy goods immediately after clicking on a link/ad (Groupon, LivingSocial, Amazon, Book Depository, LastMinute.com etc) that you find in this e-zine/newsletter, you help the Dublin Event Guide because the trader gives a small commission to the advertiser (i.e. the Dublin Event Guide). Use these links as often as possible!

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-zine? If your week was great, you might not need it, but most of us had some challenging moments in the last week and this section is for the people that want to remind that despite all, life is great and it is important to be alive.
Today, I am asking you to consider this situation:
Imagine that you could play the following “game”:
Each morning your bank will deposit EUR 86,400 in your private account for your use.
But there are some rules: Everything that you don’t spend during each day will be taken away from you at the end of the day. You can not simply transfer money into some other account. You can only spend it. Another rule is: The bank can end the game without warning; at any time. It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you do? You would use that money, wouldn’t you? You would buy anything and everything you wanted but you would invest the money wisely, because buying lots and lots of cars or TVs etc is a bit of silly idea as you can only use one car at a time. So with so much money every day, you would probably buy things for other people as well. For the people you love and care about.
You would try to spend every cent and use it all, right?
Actually, this “game” is REALITY!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank account. It is called TIME. Each morning we receive 86,400 seconds as a gift and when the day is over, all 86,400 seconds are gone and none are credited to us. What we haven’t lived up that day is forever lost. Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time…. without warning.
So, what are YOU doing with your 86,400 seconds? Are you making good use of them? Enjoy every second of your life and make best use of the 86,400 seconds EVERY single day!

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
On Saturday, have a look for the Career Zoo, the Art+Craft Market in the Exchange and maybe some of the Chinese New Year events. On Sunday, you should come to the Chinese New Year Carnival in temple Bar and check out the Fusion Sunday Wolrd Culture Market. Make sure that you also consider the new Science Gallery exhibition because it is really good.
During the week there are some events in the Science Gallery (on Tuesday) and also the Milk&Cookie Stories (on Tues). On Thursday is St. Valentine’s Day, but if that is not your thing, you find plenty of other things to do.
Have a look at all the competitions this week, there are MANY! And check out the news snippets in the Dublin News section. Reading all that alone will keep you busy for a few days. ;-)

Sencity – Multi-Sensory Music Event – Ticket Competition
Sat 09 February: 21:00-03:00 – RDS Concert Hall, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4
Sencity is a multi-sensory music event where the audience cannot only hear but also feel, see, smell and taste the music – anybody is enabled to capture the music’s passion, diverse emotions, vibes and lyrics through different channels. Created and celebrated by people with and without hearing abilities. Sencity will be in Dublin for the first time. This unique multi-sensory live music event will take place on Sat 09 Feb in the RDS Concert Hall.
The organisers are not a big, sterile company, but five extremely enthusiastic and hard-working Germans who all studied in Holland and experienced this event there for the first time. They are working with a team of 16 deaf and hard of hearing young people from Dublin to make SencityDublin happen.
There will be live artists (Signmark, Kormac’s Big Band, The Wonder Villains, Torann Drums and Gavxmas), “aroma jockeys” who intensify the feeling of the songs performed with fitting scents, “food jockeys” who create sensations that impart what the music could taste like, make-up artists, masseurs, hair dressers and many more. The senses are fired up by laser and light shows that turn songs into colours, shapes and pictures. On stage, there are sign dancers translating lyrics and emotions into Irish Sign Language and one of the most exceptional features is the vibrating dance floor which responds to the music’s bass frequency. – Sounds like an amazing event!
Tickets are available at Ticketmaster (EUR 17.50) or at the door (EUR 24) and the link to ticketmaster is on the website: www.your-sencity.com/
The organisers have made a pair of tickets available for a competition in the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) and I got lots and lots and LOTS of entries. The lucky winner is Ann Moran. Congratulations!

The Big Egg Hunt 2013
From Tues 12 Feb until Easter Saturday (23 March), Dublin will become home to the biggest Easter egg hunt and street art display. It will be in aid of the Jack and Jill Foundation and is sponsored by Lily O’Brien’s.
Over 100 fibre glass eggs, will be “hidden” around Dublin, each one of the eggs is 75 cm high and will be decorated by well known artists. The eggs will go on display on Pancake Tuesday for 40 days and 40 nights, but the locations of the eggs will not be revealed.
You have to find them! Get the family or your friends involved in the Big Egg Hunt. You only have to find 20 eggs. Each egg has a code with which you can enter the draw for a grand prize (Diamonds, chocolate factory visit for kids and a year’s supply of chocolate from Lily O’Brien’s).
At the end of the Big Egg Hunt, the eggs will be auctioned for charity in aid of the Jack and Jill Foundation. The online auction will already begin on 12 February with a live auction at the Four Seasons Hotel on 23 March.
Interesting idea, should be fun and lets see when the first cheat sheets appear on broadsheet.ie or on boards.ie ;-) thebigegghunt.ie/

Guinness Storehouse Ambassador
For the year of the infamous Gathering, the Guinness Storehouse is running a campaign that could be quite interesting to many: Everybody who is resident in Ireland can become a Guinness Storehouse Ambassador for the year. You register online for free and will get your Ambassador membership card sent by post. Guinness says that once you sign up you are entitled to free entry to the Storehouse for the year and that is great. In fairness, though, we should add something only the small print says: Once you sign up you are entitled to free entry to the Storehouse for the year WHEN you are accompanies by an admission charge paying adult. So you can’t just arrive their on your own and get in for free. But it is still a great offer because otherwise you would have to pay the full amount if you just want to accompany your tenth visiting cousin from the USA. So, sounds like a nice little sweetener that Guinness is making available to us and if you go with your friend or partner and one of you has the card and the other pays, you still save because you get a 2-for-1 deal. On top of that your group of friends/family receive a 10% discount, so even they benefit. I have signed up, now I only need to find people that wantt to visit me in 2013. :-) www.guinness-storehouse.com/en/The-Gathering-Signup.aspx

Based on your feedback, I have decided to do the following with the Exhibition section in this newsletter from now on: I will provide you with a link to a near-comprehensive listing of exhibitions provided by www.visualartists.ie . For me to list all exhibitions would only be doubling their good work and would be an inefficient use of my resources. The link is visualartists.ie/category/listings/dublin/
On top of that I will every now and then include here a small selection of exhibitions that either are not mentioned in the Visual Artist listing or are note-worthy to be mentioned separately.

People can participate as an individual or as part of a group. Posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window, to a wall of an abandoned building, or in a full stadium.

V-Day Flashmob Rehearsal
12:00 – 14:00, Sat 09 Feb
The Memorial Hall, Building E, UCD Campus, Dublin 4
On 14 Feb is not only Valentine’s Day, but also V-Day, a world wide event and global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. www.vday.org
The theme is “One Billion Rising” and a Flashmob dance event is planned in Grafton Street and Dun Laoghaire for that day. I know it takes away a bit from the Flashmob if it is widely announced before, but “only” 13,000 people get the Dublin Event Guide of 1.5 mio people in the Greater Dublin area, so I think mentioning it here will rather help than damage the event.
A good Flashmob needs to be practised and rehearsed and since it is a dance routine, you need to know what to do. So, if you are interested in this event and would like to take part, come to the public rehearsal on 02+09 from 12:00-14:00. The event is here www.facebook.com/events/416512038419037/ and if you can’t make it to any of the rehearsals, you can practice with this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJQvJNfn0kc

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up
14:00, Sun 10 Feb
Dublin (various locations)
The “Dublin Sketchers” is an informal group of typically hobby artists who go somewhere different in Dublin every Sunday (e.g. National Museum, Maritime Museum, Dublin Flea Market, Farmleigh, Botanic Gardens, Dublin Castle), sketch for one to two hours and then meet up for coffee afterwards and discuss their sketches. 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 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!

Driving our Economic Recovery
18:00 – 19:00, Mon 11 Feb
RDS, Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4
In the RDS Economic Recovery Series, the next talk is “Ireland, New Europe and the World – Driving our Economic Recovery” with Frank Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, Enterprise Ireland.
“Export success is fundamental to Ireland’s economic recovery. Exports by indigenous companies now exceed pre-recession levels. The message to the international community is that they should expect Ireland to be The Comeback Economy of Europe. The message to Irish companies is that there is no reason for them to limit their ambitions.”
Interesting choice of speaker for this talk. Isn’t that a bit like asking an Estate Agent in what direction the house prices will develop. The CEO of Enterprise Ireland could possibly be a slight little bit biased!?
Admission to the event is free, but booking is required. See the website for details.

Music Lectures: Verdi and Wagner and the 19th Century
13:00, Tue 12 Feb
Central Library, Ilac Shopping Centre, Henry Street, Dublin 1
Music Lectures In The Central Library; Verdi and Wagner and the 19th Century
2013 marks the 200th anniversary of the great opera composers of the 19th century, Verdi and Wagner.
In three talks on 12, 19 + 26 Feb, Michael Grant will explore the lives and music of these two men and trace the development of their separate, but in some ways parallel, operatic styles. Both of them brought about a revolution in 19th century opera. Michael Grant will also place the two composers in the context of the turmoil of the 19th century world in which they lived.
The three talks will be illustrated by examples of both composers’ operatic output – in the case of Verdi from his first opera “Oberto” to his last “Falstaff” and from “Rienzi” to “Parsifal” in the case of Wagner.
Unfortunately it is not clear what topic will be covered on which day, so I assume you have to/should got to all three.
Admission is free, but booking is recommended via 01-873 4333 or musiclibrary@dublincity.ie

Romp around Dublin readying Ulysses

Bloomsday is still a good bit away, but the Bloomsday Survival Kit team is already inviting to their first event. I will let them explain it:
Feeling inspired to read Ulysses? Join the Bloomsday Survival Kit team on a weekly romp around Dublin, reading as we go! Be prepared for high art and slap stick fun! From 05 Feb we’ll be roving round Dublin, reading and bringing Ulysses to life – in the places it happened (or did it?). Join us! You’ll end up in locations and positions from the big book, and explore the delicious underbelly of Joyce’s world. If you can’t join us in person, why not read along at home and have the thing read in time for Bloomsday.
The event on 12 Feb will take place in the famous Sweny’s Chemist near Westland Row, at the backend of Trinity College. Bring a copy of Ulysses if you have it and your Bloomsday Survival Kit if you’re lucky enough to possess one. We’ll read and bring to life one chapter from Ulysses – the one with the soap (Lotus Eaters). Admission is free, but Sweny’s Chemist is run by volunteers and kept alive by donations,so pop some money in the pot as you leave – or buy a bar of the famous lemon soap.
What’s in the Bloomsday Survival Kit? A 50 page in-yer-pocket Manual and a bundle of props to help you explore and bring to life Ulysses and Bloomsday. Onehandle it to your hearts content! Imagine dancing the Glasnevin Shuffle – www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqcCeGRBZqo or listening to Simon Dedalus tickling the ivories in the Ormond Hotel www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o6ncj-1gxM.

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. ;-)
The “All is fine! We are great!” delusion
Every country has it. Some countries more than others and in some countries some people have it more than others. It is a form of superiority complex or a “All is fine! We are great!” delusion.
It is important that we believe in ourselves and are confident and have a positive attitude. And in the intro to today’s Dublin Event Guide I criticised the “bad news is good” approach newspapers take. But sometimes it goes a step too far. Sometimes it turns into a delusion, a living in a dream world.
Our politicians are particularly prone to it. For example Minister of Justice Alan Shatter thinks that closing 95 Garda stations will increase the Garda presence in Ireland. ( www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2013/0119/breaking25.html ). It certainly will somewhere in HIS dream world! In addition to politicians lets add opinionated columnists (are there any non-opinionated columnists??): John Waters wrote on 03 Feb in the not-so-upmarket Irish Mail on Sunday “..it is important that we remind ourselves that Irish meat products are among the best in the world. It would be easy to allow the recent unfortunate Burgergate episode to discourage us but we must resist that tendency and take our courage in our hands.” I am not an expert on Irish meat products, so I am not sure if this is correct, but going by uncovered meat scandals in sooo many other countries (UK, France, Germany, …) that I know of I am quite certain that there is more wrong than we know about. I am reasonably confident that Waters is not a “meat product expert” either, for that reason I ‘d say he talks nonsense. Maybe he WANTS to believe it and hopes that he finds lots of people who want to believe it too. Or maybe in his definition “among the best in the world” just means “better than in the really bad countries”?
And another one of those delusions: The IDA (Irish Development Agency), Enterprise Ireland and many politicians tried (and are still trying) to tell us that international companies are coming to Ireland because of the “well-educated workforce”. So UK, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, and all these other European countries have NO well-educated workforce? Maybe the companies came to Ireland because of the extremely low taxes and the smart tax avoidance schemes available and the well-educated workforce was MUCH further down the list?
All Delusional! ;-)

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 www.dublineventguide.com, where they can subscribe. If you have feedback – good or bad – PLEASE tell me via dublineventguide@gmail.com.

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.
