First Fortnight: 7 hours of Spoken Word & Music, Andy Warhol events

Hi!!
|
|
Oh nooo! This week the creation of the Dublin Event Guide went majorly wrong! Technical problems! My quest for sending it earlier and earlier got a major setback. Apologies! Saturday is nearly over when this reaches you. I hope it helps for Sunday and the rest of the week.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 2005 a UK Travel Company claimed in a Press Release that the most depressing day of the year was the third Monday in January. They called that day “Blue Monday”. The intention was clearly to sell more travel offers, so it was a (clever!?) marketing idea that was intended to drive people to book trips away.
|
|
Since then, year after year, newspapers, media and advertisement from other company’s claim that Blue Monday is a thing. But…it is not!
|
|
It was invented by a part time lecturer at Cardiff University who later changed the story and the formula he used to calculate the day and who explained that he never wanted to make the day sound negative.
|
|
Why am I explaining all this? Because Monday 15 Jan is NOT a bad day. It is as good as YOU make it! And so is every day of the year. We are – against all odds – still alive and that in itself is great news.
|
|
So here is my task for you today and tomorrow AND on Monday and on every day of this year. Ask yourself in the morning this: “What can I do today so that this Saturday/Sunday/Monday/etc will be the best Saturday/Sunday/Monday/etc of this week!?” And then enjoy the day as much as you can.
|
|
Have a great weekend and coming week!
|
 |
|
I mentioned last week that in addition to the continuation (and improvement) of the Dublin Event Guide, I also plan to run more training courses in 2024.
|
|
They will be about AI/ChatGPT because it will be even bigger this year than last year and EVERYONE needs to know about it. And also about Personal Development, another passion of mine. If you want to know what is coming up, you will find lots shared here, but I also invite you to send a mail to newyear@inspiringleadershipacademy.com and maybe even share with me what YOU would like to learn in 2024. I will keep you posted then!
|
|
Thanks for the people that sent me a message already, I will reply to each of you in the coming week.
|
|
|
|
Donations in January:
EUR 192
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Due to some technical difficulties, I wasn’t able to check the donations this week, I will add all new donations next week! But be assured that your donation has arrived and is accounted for. Thank you! Your help and support is much appreciated. Without you, the Dublin Event Guide couldn’t continue!
|
|
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.
|
 |
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s 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.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. 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 subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
 |
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(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.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?
Thank you!!

+++ They gave the walls a talking – The extraordinary story of The Pogues and Shane MacGowan
12 Dec-31 Jan – 10:00-17:00 – EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, chq Building, Customs House Quay, Dublin 1 – Adm: included in normal admission

+++ Entangled Islands – Ireland & the Caribbean
05 Sept-29 Feb – 10:00-17:00 – EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, chq Building, Customs House Quay, Dublin 1 – Adm: included in normal admission
Discover 400 years of Irish links to the Caribbean in this temporary exhibition (until February 2024) that tells the stories of a wide range of Irish people who traversed and settled in the Caribbean. It all started in the 17th century, when Irish indentured labourers were among the many thousands transported to work on islands acquired by the English. The Irish in time found their way into positions of power and privilege across the region, whether as plantation owners or colonial governors.
Entangled Islands traces this long and multifaceted history of connection through 19 key figures on either side of the Atlantic, from merchants and enslavers to poets and journalists.
Admission is included in the normal ticket price. Find out more here epicchq.com/entangled-islands/

+++ + Blues Rock/Funk Single Launch: “What You’ll Need From Me” by Patrick Jade
A good friend of mine, his artist name is Patrick Jade, has launched his debut single yesterday. It is great funk/blues rock song called “What You’ll Need From Me”. Patrick is an outstanding drummer and multi-instrumentalist and he played most instruments on the single.
I really like the song and how Patrick set himself the goal to create it and then pursued it despite a lot of challenges. If you have 3 minutes and like a good upbeat, energising song, listen to it here distrokid.com/hyperfollow/patrickjade/what-youll-need-from-me/

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is 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!
The 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! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
|
|
+++ IKEA Crafting / Music / Cooking Workshops
Ikea in Ballymun runs a variety of crafting, music and cooking workshops and there are still some places available. The workshops are free and go for 45 minutes and are for children. Check them out on www.ikea.com/ie/en/stores/events/ikea-ballymun/
