Hi all!

Did you enjoy Culture Night last week? I had a brilliant 4+ hours of events, discovered some news things and in the end agreed with many people who said that we should have more Culture Night than just on one single evening.

[ad]

On Wednesday evening I was at the launch event of the Dublin Theatre Festival and my guess is that a good few of you were there as well. It was a ticketed but free event and because there was a trick to successfully requesting free tickets, the Event Guide Community had a significant head start on others, so I’d say there could have been a few hundred Event Guide readers at the show on in the Gaiety. :-) The show was called “Circa” and it was absolutely impressive and breath-taking acrobatics and dance. There are more (non-free) performances of the same show during the Theatre Festival (EUR 20-35) and if you had planned to go to a really good event anyway, consider Circa, it is really really good! A video of part of the performance can be found by clicking on the VIDEO button at the bottom on the event site dublintheatrefestival.com/programme/display.asp?Eventid=452

Last night I was in Castleknock with Patrick Cumiskey of www.kravmagaireland.com, where we started another Self-Defence Course for Beginners. This week is the busiest ever. We have started a new 12 week course in Blackrock on Monday, a new 12 week course last night in Castleknock and there will be a 2-day course this coming weekend in the City Center. More than 100 new Krav Maga students in one week!! Patrick Cumiskey (www.kravmagaireland.com) is the main sponsor of this Event Guide and his sponsorship is absolutely crucial. Oh and if you are interested in learning how to defend yourself in case you ever encounter a tricky or dangerous situation, you know where to go. Maybe it will even be me teaching you sometimes if Patrick is away. :-)

And finally I have to tell you about an upcoming event that I will organise and to which you are invited. I promised it some time ago and on Sat 16 October it will now happen. On that day I will run a full day seminar entitled “Wealth Creation Mindset”, it will teach you how to identify and change the limiting factors that stop you from achieving your financial goals. The seminar will run from 09:30-17:30 and will be full of new learnings. It will take place in the D4 Hotels in Ballsbridge and if you want to be part of it, you will have to send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with the subject SEMINAR. There are only 40 places and you HAVE to register with me if you want to join us on the day. The seminar is donation based, that means YOU decide how much it is worth to you and donate some money accordingly at the end of the seminar. Only because I am convinced that you will walk away with LOTS of new insights, I am doing that. :-) You will get a separate mail from me about it during the week, watch out for that, but don’t wait with your registration until then if you are interested. ;-)

For the last two weeks I am making an effort to provide regular updates about free events during the week on www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide If you want to join the 600+ people that already LIKE this page, go there and click on LIKE at the top of the page.

Keep telling your friends about the Event Guide, the Dublin Event Guide Community is growing and wouldn’t it be great if all your friends were in it? ;-) Use these tools to spread the word: www.perfectresults.info/event_guide_mini_flyers.pdf

Looking for the Feel Good Slot video clip of the week, I was thinking about the training seminar I am running on the 16 October and found a clip with jack Canfield, the author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. In which he explains that mindset is the most important component to achieving wealth. Have a look here

______Joerg’s Picks______________

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.

–Advertisement————————————
DOES YOUR LIFE WORRY OR CONCERN YOU?
If you are worried or concerned about your life in general or aspects of your life, or if you feel anxiety and stress, then reach out for professional help! – Mary Keating, MA, trained psychoanalytic psychotherapist, is available for appointments in Custom House Medical Centre, IFSC or at 20 Lower Baggot Street. Please phone 01-6776253 or 0868783086 or email mkeating@iol.ie for enquiries or to make an appointment. Her fees are appropriate to circumstances, so talk to her if you could do with some help and support. www.agalma.ie/therapists/mary-keating
——————————————————–

This weekend I will go to the Oktoberfest at the IFSC at some point and in addition we have another Krav Maga (Self-Defence) beginners course on Saturday and Sunday (www.kravmagaireland.com) where I will be at least for part of the time. On Sat or Sun, I will probably go to the Ranelagh Arts Festival, to see what they are doing and maybe I will even catch a glimpse of the Fashion Event in the City Centre on Sat or Sun.
On Sunday the “Saucy Sunday” and the Wood Guthrie Day event sounds good, but I doubt that I will be able to make it and on Monday I would – if I could – go to the Panty Bar Comedy Night. On Tuesday the Green Drinks is an event I will TRY (again!) to go to and from Thursday the Open House and the Hard Working Class Heroes are two completely different events that will definitely get my attention.

PETE COURTNEY – ALBUM LAUNCH – TICKET COMPETITION
Pete Courtney launched his new album “karma biscuits” last night in the Odessa Club and I heard it was a very nice event with amazing energy in the room.

Congratulations!

All events in this Competition Section are non-free events, but the organisers are making free tickets available for you to win. I usually get lots of competition entries and unfortunately not everybody can win, so even if you are not the winner, please consider going to an event to support the organisers. :-) If you don’t win, and will go to the event, please help showing the organisers that promoting their event in the Dublin Event Guide is beneficial and mention to them that you heard about the event through “Joerg’s Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)”. Thanks!

______Dublin News______________

GOOGLE STREET VIEW IS LIVE
Google Street View for Dublin is live and while some people are always concerned about the private information this could reveal (I guess it is a serious issue if someone can see the colour of your front door, isn’t it?) others had their cheeky fun when the cameras took the pictures (bit.ly/thecheek) and in general I think it is a useful tool. I have some trouble understanding the controls of it, but I hope I will learn it. ;-)

CAFÉ BAR DELI CLOSED
The disappearance of restaurants and pubs seems to continue. The latest company in difficulties seems to be Café Bar Deli, the popular restaurant chain that had restaurants in Ranelagh, Sth Great George’s Street and for some time in Bewley’s Café in Grafton Street. The Ranelagh branch closed at the end of August (www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0831/1224277911025.html) and the George’s Street site is currently closed “for renovation”, but many people are wondering if it might stay closed for good. The restaurant in Bewley’s closed quite some time ago when the owner of the building tried to increase the rent significantly. Café Bar Deli’s prices were relatively reasonable before a more recent change in menu and the food was usually good, so it’s a pity that they are gone. It seems though that others had a different experience: www.tribune.ie/magazine/food/article/2010/jun/20/restuarant-review-cafe-bar-deli/

———Opportunities—————–

In order to beat an economic downturn not governments can help, but individuals are needed that take the initiative and to create new markets and new opportunities for themselves and for their customers and hopefully employees. The banks don’t help anymore, the government doesn’t want to help, so we have to help ourselves! The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will help you if you have recently started a company and if you could do with spreading the word. I hope being mentioned here and being seen by the 7000+ readers of the Event Guide will kick start something big for you. In return I expect you to tell your clients and friends about the Event Guide and once you have made a nice bit of money, a donation would be very appreciated. ;-) (This offer is for start-ups in relatively early stages only. Established companies can contact me regarding very affordable advertisement options in the Dublin Event Guide.) If you want to promote your start-up/young company here for free, let me know: dublineventguide@gmail.com.

More to come!

______Exhibitions_______________

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/exhib-lein/
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.

TWO OKTOBERFESTS IN DUBLIN
It is confusing for some, so let me help: This year there are TWO Oktoberfest events in Dublin.
On Fri 01 and Sat 02 Oct the Paulaner Oktoberfest will take place. This is an event by the beer company “Paulaner” to celebrate their 200th anniversary. The celebration is not in a central location, instead a number of pubs have bands etc. The pubs that participate are The Brazen Head, Bruxelles Bar, The Bull & Castle, Cill Airne, The Church, Dakota, The Foggy Dew, Hogan’s Bar, Lagoona, The Living Room, The Odeon, Pygmallion and The Temple Bar. (www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=110660625661257)
The “proper” Oktoberfest is the event that is happening in George’s Dock at the IFSC, where a Mini-Oktoberfest with Beer Tent, Bavarian Music and German food and beer is taking place from 30 Sept-10 Oct. For more details see the event notice below.

DUBLIN OKTOBERFEST
The central Oktoberfest in Dublin is actually the “Erdinger Oktoberfest”, with Erdinger being a competitor to Paulaner. I have to admit that I prefer the centralised Fest, because if every pub does its own thing, it is not really a Fest. So, to enjoy the proper Oktoberfest, you have to come to George’s Dock in the IFSC, where from 30 Sept-10 Oct the Oktoberfest will take place. You will get to drink German Beer, listen to German Music (Cough…cough!) and eat German food, like pigs trotters and Bratwurst and Fleischkaese (fine meatloaf), etc. The prices are obviously a bit higher than in Germany, but you expected that anyway. ;-) Opening Hours are Mon-Sat 12:00-00:30 and Sun 12:00-20:00.
There are some odd things about the Oktoberfest that you should know: Last year the number of people that was allowed on the platform IN George’s Dock was tiny and the queue of people that wanted to get in was massive, so if you want to come, make sure that you go early and that your friends won’t come too late either. Another odd thing is this statement on the website of the Oktoberfest: “In order to comply with Irish licensing laws, every person who is present at the Oktoberfest after 10pm is required to purchase a food voucher to the value of €5. The €5 voucher is redeemable against a substantial meal which is worth €10.”
I would love to know what part of the licensing law they refer to, because the “rice and chicken” days that once were an odd feature of Irish Discos are long over. In these days you had to be given some food in a Disco, so at around 23:00 tables were put on the dance floor and everyone good a plate with a portion of rice and some chicken with sauce. You quickly ate and then the table were removed and the music and dancing continued. VERY odd experience. :-)
Last year this Oktoberfest “clause” was enforced for people entering George’s Dock after 22:00, but people that were there already seemingly didn’t have to pay and it wouldn’t make sense if they had to pay! oktoberfest-dublin.com/

POINT VILLAGE MARKET
Every weekend on Sat and Sun the Point Village Market is taking place from 09:00-17:00. It is an outdoor food market with a flea market-like add-on. The market is next to the Point Depot (O2), right beside the last Luas stop “The Point” on the Red Line. In addition to the market, there is outdoor entertainment every week on a truck stage. You can find more details here: www.pointvillagemarket.ie/events

CHARITY FUN RUN – PHOENIX PARK
Someone is organising a 10km Charity Fun Run in Phoenix Park on Sat 02 October at 10:30, but I wasn’t able to find out who organises it and what charity it is for. Sometimes it is still puzzling me why organisers make it so difficult to find out about their events. I found out about this event on the AA website, of all places! :-)

FAMILY DAY – DRAIOCHT, BLANCHARDSTOWN
On Sat 02 Oct from 12:00-15:00 a Family Day will take place in Draiocht in Blanchardstown. The organisers describe: “Using our exhibition of colourful Abbey Theatre Posters as a starting point, our artists will help you create a graphic master piece to adorn your bedroom wall. Family Day Notes: No booking necessary – just drop in at any stage / Please wear old clothes / These activities are designed for children from 5-10 years, though younger and older siblings will be welcome to try their hand too / All children must be accompanied by an adult … all adults must be accompanied by a child / Please be aware that Draíocht’s Family Days are not designed for groups.” For More Information www.draiocht.ie

RANELAGH ARTS FESTIVAL
Starting on Fri 24 Sept with the Culture Night, the Ranelagh Arts Festival will continue until 03 October. It is a long festival in comparison to others, but the events are just more spread out. A day-by-day overview of events I here www.ranelagharts.org/raf2010_daybyday_web.pdf and you will see that this year many events are not free, which is a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, there are still a good few free events and you should have a look at the programme to see if you find something that you like. On www.ranelagharts.org/ you find a link to the full programme as well.
This weekend there are two free headline events:

RANELAGH ARTS FESTIVAL
(see Saturday for details)

DUBLIN FESTIVAL OF FASHION
(see Friday for details)

HORSE MARKET – SMITHFIELD PLAZA
And another month over: Every first Sunday of the month, the horse traders from Dublin and surrounding areas come together and sell and buy horses on Smithfield Plaza. This tradition is in place for many many years and after the modernisation of Smithfield Plaza, Dublin City tried to move the market to another location. This has not been successful yet and consequently the horse market is still a monthly feature in the City Centre. It starts relatively early in the morning and goes on until all traders have left, which is around 13:00. If you want to experience this somewhat anachronistic event, you should consider coming relatively early. I would recommend around 09:00-10:00 experience it at its peak. Experience it for yourself, it is a different world!! …and definitely not what you would expect in the centre of a European capital. ;-) Nick Carosello went there last month and took this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWQnmu8K-IQ
I know that there are concerns about the welfare of the animals and I do know that ISPCA representatives are supervising the horse market. Please note that I am not suggesting that you buy a horse there or that you support the horse traders in any inappropriate acts. Instead I am only reporting that this event is taking place and that it might interest some of you to watch the trading or the horses. Your presence there will not change anything good or bad and if Dublin City didn’t allow this open and somewhat controllable market, the traders would sell their horses elsewhere where the ISPCA and the police could not be present. So leaving that market in place is probably a good idea and better for the animals than driving the trading into the underground.

FARMLEIGH HOUSE – FOOD MARKET

Woody Guthrie travelled the country from Oklahoma to California during the Depression of the 1930’s with thousands of other migrants looking for work. Many of his songs are concerned with the conditions faced by these working class people and inspired many of the great songwriters that came after him including Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs. During his time he played at countless labour strikes, union meetings, migrant camps and Communist Hollywood parties with actor, Will Geer, and wrote for Communist papers The Light and People’s World. On 3rd October 1967 Guthrie died from complications connected to Huntington’s disease, a progressive genetic neurological disorder.
LMHR will be donating all proceeds from the gigs to the Huntington’s Associations of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The events in Dublin take place in the Mercantile in Dawson Street on Sun 03 Oct:

GREEN DRINKS – BICYCLE RECYCLING
The October event of “Green Drinks” on Tues 05 Sept from 18:00-23:00 will look at “Bicycle Recycling”. It will take place on the Top Floor in Messrs Maguire, 2 Burgh Quay and Admission is free. “Hosted by the nice people at Leafliving.com, Green Drinks Dublin is a free event that brings people together every month – not only ecowarriors, not only the hardcore carbon neutrals, just regular people who care about being a little greener. On Tues 05 Oct, Green Drinks will take a look at cycling as a form of sustainable transport as well as the idea of bicycle recycling.
In the UK, 4 million new bicycles are purchased every year. Unfortunately that “out with the old, in with the new” mentality means more and more discarded bicycles are appearing in landfills around the world. Cycling is similarly on the rise in Ireland, due to schemes such as the Dublin Bikes and Bike to Work, which is undoubtedly a positive development yet even the keenest cyclist can be more eco-friendly. Rothar is a non-for-profit organization that seeks to address these issues by promoting bicycle recycling as a method of reducing waste and encouraging responsible bicycle ownership. By repairing unwanted bikes and selling refurbished parts, the company challenges the throw away mentality of industrialized society. The founder of Rothar, Anne Bedos, will be on hand at Green Drinks to offer an insight into the concept of bicycle recycling and the positive effects it can have on the environment as well as the local community.
Free vegetarian food platters will be available as well. www.leafliving.com www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=137197586326078&ref=mf

Mahler and Freud, a topic that has kept Mahler and Freud scholars forever spellbound. Two of the greatest men in the field of music and psychoanalysis meeting on the morning of 26 August 1910 in the Dutch city of Leiden. What did they talk about? Surely the relationship between Mahler and his wife Alma stood central in their talk. That is the reason why the lecture bears as subtitle “A portrait of a marriage”. A young girl and an older man, a relation sanctioned in the end by Freud, but did it help Mahler to overcome his problems? www.goethe.de/ins/ie/dub/kue/en6529572v.htm

The Public Seminar “Revealing the Past: Archaeological Excavations in Ireland” is taking place on Fri 08 Oct at 10:00 in the Royal Irish Academy, Dawson Street. Since 1970 the Academy Committee for Archaeology has managed an annual fund provided by the National Monuments Service, which has financed over ninety excavations in Ireland. This is the only fund in Ireland for independent research excavation and has enabled scholars to make a substantial contribution to our knowledge of the past. This public seminar aims to showcase to a wide audience, the results of several recently funded excavations, with a particular emphasis on investigating key issues in prehistoric Ireland, as well as church sites, religious foundations and burial practice. More details and programme www.ria.ie/Events/Events-Listing/Public-Seminar–Revealing-the-Past–Archaeological.aspx

OPEN HOUSE
With more than 150 events Open House Dublin is Ireland’s biggest architecture festival, allowing us to explore the architecture of our city. Dublin buildings of all types and periods will open up their doors, with special tours by hundreds of professionals and enthusiasts, completely for free. This event is definitely for you if you are interested in the buildings around you, but you don’t have to be a fan of architecture to enjoy it. Rare opportunities to visit buildings that are normally not accessible are the reason for the fascination of this event. Over the last two years I visited Liberty Hall, Busaras, Customs House, Department of Foreign Affairs and a few other buildings that you normally would NOT be able to get into. Many of you might find the Busaras boring or ugly, but once you have done the tour and have heard what the thinking and idea behind the building was, you will suddenly see buildings around us in a completely different light. Some buildings are so popular that tours are ticketed, but at most buildings you can just arrive on the day. Open House starts on Thursday 07 Oct and continues until Sun 10 Oct with Sat+Sun being the main days. The website is architecturefoundation.ie/openhouse/ and the programme is here architecturefoundation.ie/openhouse/dublin/programme. In many venues (e.g. Tourist Office) around Dublin you can get an Open House booklet for free and if you can get it, it is worth bringing it.

DYING OF PATRICK IRELAND – FILM SCREENING – IFI
The Film Screening of “The Dying of Patrick Ireland” will take place on Fri 08 Oct at 19:00 in the Irish Film Insitute, 6 Eustace Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2. The film documents the symbolic burial of Patrick Ireland, the alter ego of the distinguished Irish artist Brian O’Doherty. The Dying of Patrick Ireland screening coincides with the gift to the Irish Museum of Modern Art by Brian O’Doherty and his wife art historian Barbara Novak of more than 70 artworks from their own collection.
There are a limited number of free tickets available to book online.

______This is odd!!______________

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. ;-)

IRELAND: LITTLE BIG COUNTRY??
I think we all agree that Ireland is a small country. With just 4.5 mio inhabitants, it is perfectly shaped ;-) but certainly not large. And in addition to being small, it is not the most affluent country either at least in the current state. But it seems that our politicians have a completely different opinion of themselves and of this country. It seems that they think they are a LOT more important than the politicians in other countries and one perfect proof for that is the salary of the Taoiseach (the Irish Prime Minister, in case you are new in Ireland!). The Irish Mail on Sunday wrote that Brian Cowern is the fourth-highest-paid world leader. Converted into US Dollar Cowen gets $342,400. No 1 is Lee Hsien Loong from Singapore, who gets $2.75m, then Donald Tsang of Hong Kong with $515.300 and then Barack Obama with $400,000. Incredible that the political leader of Ireland is fourth in the list.
Initially I thought, that it is not just the current party that should be blamed for it, but maybe the Irish political system or all politicians, but then I found out that when Fianny Fail (the current government party) came to power, the Taoiseach’s salary was EUR 133,000 and this was increased to EUR 252,000 since 1997. A 89% increase is impressive, isn’t it? Can I please have that percentage increase? The reduction to EUR 228,000 that was applied last year, is a move in the right direction, but FAR from enough.www.politics.ie/current-affairs/134044-brian-cowen-still-worlds-4th-highest-paid-politician-342-400-a.html

It is either pure luck or the right mindset ;-) that you are getting an Event Guide today! Last night disaster struck and the hard disk of my Laptop developed Bad Blocks, the Laptop crashed and “Blue Screened” on me. Luckily I was able to recover most of the Event Guide file and was able to continue on another Laptop, but it all delayed me significantly. So, another late arrival of this week’s Event Guide. But it was nearly NO arrival, so maybe late is better than never!

Take care,

–Joerg
