Hi all!
What do you think of the great new Dublin Event Guide Smart Phone App? Did you try it out? We have tested it with lots of devices, but not with all of them, there are just too many. However if your mobile phone that is not an Android or an iOS phone has a browser, just type in the address and there is a chance that it might work. I have an old Nokia phone and it works with one of three browsers that I can use on it. The others are sooo outdated that the shiny Dublin for Free app would challenge the old browser too much.
Ohh, if any one has a superfluous HTC OneX phone lying around somewhere, let me know. I am looking for one so that I too can use the new app! :-o
I mentioned last week that I was in Germany for a few days. On Wednesday I came back and on Thursday the next Dublin Event Guide had to get worked on. Normall I get to do SOME work on it during the week, but that was not the case this time, so again, it will probably be a LATE sending time for this week’s edition. :-/
I left the information about the app in the Dublin News, so that more people get a chance to see it.
It is a web app, so it is very easy to use and you find it at m.dublineventguide.com but this and all the details how to proceed from there are in the Dublin News Section, just scroll down to it! As with all the events, the app is not sold, but is available completely for free, however in return you HAVE to spread the word! ;-)
Remember to tell everybody about the Dublin Event Guide. Send them to www.dublineventguide.com where they can subscribe to the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) on the right hand side.
And if you like the new smart phone app, think about how much you would pay elsewhere for such a wonderful and helpful new service and consider donating that money for the up-keep of the Dublin Event Guide. I need to find EUR 170 every month to pay the cost for sending the Dublin Event Guide. So check your pockets and send me all your change. ;-) Any amount helps! Go to www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm
More next week, this week I will keep this section as brief 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.
This week I found an interesting quote:
“If an egg breaks from outside, life ends. If it breaks from inside, life starts. Big breakthroughs always start within.”
Is there something in you that wants to, even NEEDS to get out? Will you let it break the egg shell? Or will you stay inside out of fear that a broken egg shell will mean trouble? Sometimes we have to make a bit of a mess to get out of hiding!

This part is important to “keep the show on the road”:
Last week Fiona F, Maria P and Tom McM were the wonderful people that helped with a donation. All the support is much appreciated!!
Have you helped? Your help is absolutely needed too to ensure that everyone will continue to get the Dublin Event Guide every week. The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is approx. EUR 170 per month and I need your help!
Has the Dublin Event Guide helped you to find events that you otherwise wouldn’t have known about, or have you saved money by finding great free events? Then go to www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm and give something back!
I appreciate ANY help: EUR 12 would be great, (that’s only 25 cent per week!), but even if it is just the price of 2 pints it will help me to cover the cost (I need to “find” EUR 170 per month to cover the cost and anything above will be invested in improving the Dublin Event Guide!).
You can donate online by following this link to the PayPal&CreditCard donation page www.perfectresults.info/donation.htm If you want to transfer your donation directly to my account, just send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com and I will send you the details.

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
It is cold outside and with the clock being turned back it is dark early. Not the most enticing times to venture out and exactly that is reflected in the events. There are no significant outdoors events now until Christmas. But the indoor season is in full swing and this week the Design Week stakes place. If Design is your thing, you should find something between Monday and next Sunday.
I didn’t list it again, but this weekend is your very last chance to see the Magical Materials exhibition in the Science Gallery and if you haven’t been yet, you should go.
If Spanish is your thing, then go to the ISLA Literary Festival in the Instituto Cervantes from Fri-Sun. On Sunday the Pure Vintage Market takes place and then there are a number of talks including the monthly Green Drinks that are interesting during the week. A talk about the economic situation in the Eurozone and a documentary screening of “Colony” both on Thursday would be on my list if I were not busy with the next Dublin Event Guide at that stage.

Leading for Growth – JCI Dublin
Fri 09 Nov: 13:30-20:00
JCI Dublin (Junior Chamber International) are organising an event on 09 November for young people called Leading for Growth. It is aimed at young people in their 20s and 30s who are interested in taking charge of their future and wish to help lead the change. The event is a leadership summit for young professionals and you don’t have to be a JCI member to attend. Speakers are from different industry sectors (Dr Johnny Walker, PJ Timmins, Simon Bolger), from the social sector (Caroline Casey, Tony Heffernan, Mary Davis) and from the personal development sector (Gerry Duffy, Andrew Keogh) and it sounds like a really interesting afternoon.
Tickets are available from the website www.leadingforgrowth.org for EUR 50 per person and I have experienced some JCI events before, which were worth every minute. So, have a look at the website and if you are interested in leadership, then you should go to that event.
JCI Dublin have made two individual tickets available for a competition among the Dublin Event Guide readers!
If you would like to win, you will have to send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with JCI12 in the subject line and with your name and mobile phone number in the body of the mail. You also need to tell me what the last item on the agenda is (Hint: Click on Agenda on the website.) Your mail has to be with me by Tues 06 Nov at 15:00. www.leadingforgrowth.org

Dublin Event Guide Smartphone App
Did you try out the new smart phone app? I w ill leave this information here for another week or so, so that everybody has seen it! :-) “Dublin for Free” is the Dublin Event Guide on the go! It is a web app that works on most smartphones and will allow you to bring the “Dublin Event Guide (For Free Events)” with you when you are out and about. It will also allow you to check out the current events when you are away from your computer or when the e-zine arrives late AGAIN on a Friday evening.The web app works on Android and on iOS and you can directly access it by putting m.dublineventguide.com in your mobile browser. There is an app in the iOS store and it will be in the Google Play store in the next few days, but you don’t need to dwonload anything.
When you went to m.dublineventguide.com on your browser and you want to put an icon on your homescreen, just do this:
For iOS:
+ When you’re looking at a web page, just hit “+” and select “Add to Home Screen”.
For Android:
+ Bookmark m.dublineventguide.com
+ Go to the home screen you want to add the link to
+ Long-press in an empty space to bring up the “Add to Home Screen” menu
+ Select “Shortcuts”
+ Select “Bookmark”
+ Choose your bookmark!
I will exlain a few features in the coming weeks, but for now, I suggest you check it out and explore it for yourself. The web app will not replace the weekly newsletter, instead it will complement it and will make the Dublin Event Guide better usable.
This wonderful app was created by iQ Content for free for you!! iQ Content is a user experience design consultancy. They design and build digital experiences for mobile, tablet and desktop that help clients achieve results for their business. And the great people in iQ Content are Dublin Event Guide Users, but wanted to make it more usable and mobile, so they created a wonderful new design, built a backend, beautified the e-zine AND wrote an app for us, Absolutely amazing! And all that for you for free. Check them out at www.iqcontent.com It was a big team that worked on it for thousands of hours (!!) and I will list all the names in the coming weeks, but today, I want to thank the Managing Director of iQ Content Morgan McKeagney and the Director of Innovation Ciarán Harris who was the main driver behind the project and who is an amazingly supportive and hard working individual who you can absolutely rely on.
If you like the app and want to join me in thanking iQ Content for all the work they did, send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with the subject “THANKS IQ CONTENT” I will aggregate your thanks and will forward them.

Gardai on Segways
Did you see the announcement last week? After a couple of horses, a few bikes, motorbikes, cars (oops, that should be Vehicles!) and one or two helicopters, the Gardai got ANOTHER medium to move from A to B. They got two Segways as a present from some Business Association and while I think Segways are super cool and I would love to have one for a loooont time, I also think that they are totally unsuitable for Gardai that need to DO something. In an airport where the airport police often use them, they are fine. The police in many airports is just there to look “policy”, but what would a Gardai do if he had to stop someone, go into a shop. Lock his Segway outside and then run after the mugger? Hmmmm.
Apart from that I wish they had a proper plan! It seems that any type of transport is suitable. Soon they will use Roller Blades and Pogo Sticks if someone gives them one or two. Nahh, I don’t think Segways for the Gardai is a good idea. …and I promise it is NOT my envy that has me saying that. ;-) www.rte.ie/news/2012/1031/gardai-segways.html

I have some small technical problems with this section, so there will be a bit of a further delay, but the next company introductions will be here soon!
|
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.

100 Objects
23 Oct – 02 Dec
National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Dublin 7
Fintan O’Toole has chosen 99 remarkable objects, each of which opens a window on to an important moment in Irish history. You are invited to help choose the 100th object. Most come from the great trove of the National Museum of Ireland, a resource that is itself one of the wonders of Ireland. Others are from a variety of other institutions. They are not intended to be the 100 most remarkable objects on the island, or even to be a representative sample of the great collections. They are chosen simply for their ability to illuminate moments of change, development or crisis.
The exhibition in Collins Barracks shows the 10 items shortlisted to be the 100th object in the series. There is a public vote online (100objects.ie) and a ballot sheet in the Museum where you can help to choose which object defines our modern times.
Open: Tuesday-Saturday 10:00-17:00, Sunday 14:00-17:00. Closed Mondays and Bank Holidays

Dia de Muertos: Day of the Dead Exhibition
02-14 Nov. Opening Fri 02 Nov: 18:00
White Lady Art, 14 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2
White Lady Art gallery is opening it’s doors for the first time on Friday November 2nd for Dia de Muertos, a very special exhibition and celebration for the Mexican Day of the Dead.
The Day of the Dead is an ancient festival and celebration of loved ones who have passed away, by those who remain behind. Families and friends traditionally gather around the graves of the dead, presenting their favorite food, objects, and remember stories about when they lived. In homes altars are created with photographs, flowers, skulls and items belonging to the deceased.
The exhibition will feature new work by Kathrina Rupit, a Mexican artist living and working in Dublin. An altar dedicated to Frida Kahlo will be built to celebrate the life of so many people’s favorite Mexican artist. Kathrina uses found objects and recycled wood that has also passed on from one life to another, finding new meaning in her work.
There will be music from Mariachi Azteca and tasty food from the Azteca restaurant. We would like to invite you to dress up for the occasion, with spot prizes for the best dressed Day of the Dead bride and groom.

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up
14:00, Sun 04 Nov
varies
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!

Design Week 2012
09:00, Mon 05 Nov
Dublin (various locations)
The Design Week 2012 takes place from 05-11 Nov. It is a week during which design organisations, collectives, colleges, companies and studios package and promote design related events. There are walks, talks, launches, exhibitions and workshops and the audience is designers who design things, the business community who purchase design services and the public who are the end users of all designers’ services.
A large amount of events take place over the 7 days of the festival and most of them are free, however some require pre-booking.
It being a Design Week, it seems that the website designer had to go the extra mile TOO FAR! Unfortunately the website is fancy but not overly easy to read if you have a smaller screen. It is also a pity that there is no downloadable PDF that shows all events. But if you go to www.designweek.ie/full-schedule/ and click on the date between 05 and 11, you will find all the relevant information. Fancy, but more work. I guess that is the price you have to pay sometimes for a nice look!?
A slightly easier overview of some of the Design Week events and of other architecture and design related events can regularly be found on www.pivotdublin.com/index.php/agenda

Design Week 2012
09:00, Tue 06 Nov
Dublin (various locations)
The Design Week 2012 takes place from 05-11 Nov. It is a week during which design organisations, collectives, colleges, companies and studios package and promote design related events. There are walks, talks, launches, exhibitions and workshops and the audience is designers who design things, the business community who purchase design services and the public who are the end users of all designers’ services.
A large amount of events take place over the 7 days of the festival and most of them are free, however some require pre-booking.
It being a Design Week, it seems that the website designer had to go the extra mile TOO FAR! Unfortunately the website is fancy but not overly easy to read if you have a smaller screen. It is also a pity that there is no downloadable PDF that shows all events. But if you go to www.designweek.ie/full-schedule/ and click on the date between 05 and 11, you will find all the relevant information. Fancy, but more work. I guess that is the price you have to pay sometimes for a nice look!?

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. ;-)
Buy Irish? NOT a good idea!
When I was in Germany last weekend, I saw advertisement for Kerry Gold Butter just everywhere. I am not sure how popular it is in Germany, but going by the number of ads and promotions, every child will have heard of Kerry Gold in that country with 80mio inhabitants. Why do I mention the number of inhabitants. Well, think about it. If every person in Ireland bought just one piece of butter per year (just for arguments sake). It would be around 4.5 mio pieces. If every person in Germany bought one piece, it would be 80 mio. Now imagine that Germany put the same emphasis on a “Buy German!”campaign as is put on the “Buy Irish” campaign. Who would really suffer???
I suggest it is a good idea not to run any protectionistic campaigns because if the other country get wind of it and retaliate, Ireland’s export is toast!
Ohh, one other other thing I HAVE to mention, though as well! The 250g piece of Kerry Gold in Germany is sold for EUR 1.19. WHY is a 227g piece of the same butter in Ireland EUR 1.69?? www.tesco.ie/groceries/product/search/default.aspx?searchBox=kerrygold We usually are told that the reason we have to pay more in Ireland than people elsewhere is the transport. Nonsense! The 227g piece in Ireland should cost EUR 1.08 if it was the same price per gram as in Germany. Buying Irish? No way! I buy the lowest priced good quality product and that will definitely not be Kerry Gold Butter!

It will be quite cool from now on, so maybe it is good that all outdoors events have disappeared until the Christmas Markets start and we are a bit more used to the cold weather again. Importantly, though, don’t stay at home all the time, but give Dublin’s Culture a chance! :-)

Have an event-full time,

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.
BTW: I am not paid or otherwise rewarded for compiling and distributing this Event Guide it is purely a hobby so your donations are needed: www.perfectresults.info/donation.htm . 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.
