Hi!!
|
|
How are you today? It is me again! ;-) I know I know. Everytime I barge in your Inbox you are a week further into the year. And like me, you are probably still waiting for the summer to start. But hopefully, you are at the same time having a good time, a good life. Sure there are challenges. At work, at home, with friends, with partners/children/family, but when you look at the bottom line, life is hopefully good.
|
|
I can’t change your life, I am just a newsletter, but what I am trying to do week after week is inspire you a little. Give you a reason to go out there to experience some cool or interesting events. And if you can’t go because there is too much else happening, hopefully you will at least get the clear picture that there are cool things happening and one day you will be able to make them part of your life again!
|
|
|
|
Very recently I came across a quotation that I want to leave with you this week. No specific reason or purpose, but think about it and it might take on a meaning for you. The quote is by Wayne Dyer (1940-2015), who was an author and speaker, and he said “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.”
|
|
Have a great weekend and new week!
|
 |
|
July has some big events coming up, but we are not there yet. This weekend is a lot quieter than you would expect for July. That doesn’t mean there is nothing happening, but it is quieter. The main events are Coastival in Dun Laoghaire and the Summer in Dublin events that are unfortunately not specified regarding location and performances. (More at the bottom of the newsletter).
|
|
By the way, Facebook has not paid the money back yet and they have resumed censoring my Facebook comments again. Facebook has gone to the dogs. :-o
|
|
|
|
Donations in July:
EUR 76
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
Last week Caoimhe, Renata and Julia helped with a donation. Thank you so much!! Dublin Event Guide Readers are AMAZING and our help and support is much appreciated by me and (hopefully) by all other readers of the Dublin Event Guide, because 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!!

And the free events for next week….

Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

+++ SUMMER IN DUBLIN
Dublintown, the business organisation that represents shops and businesses in Dublin City, has announced a summer event programme called “Summer in Dublin”. It will run from 07 July to 25 August with street performances, dance and music every Sunday from 16:00-20:00.
A list of performers is mentioned and a list of locations, but unfortunately Dublin Town seems to want to surprise people in Dublin with pop-up performances, instead giving us a chance to plan attending the “Summer in Dublin” events.
Locations are from South Ann Street to Drury Street on the southside and Liffey Street, Capel Street, North Earl Street and Wolfe Tone Park on the northside.
Musical attractions are a New Orleans Jazz band New Brass Kings, three-piece trad band Sin Deri Si and Latin group Havana Club Trio.
There will also be dance and art and HOPEFULLY Dublintown will tell us over the next few weeks where the events will take place.

+++ 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! :-)
|
|
+++ Coastival Festival
Coastival is a festival organised by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. It brings art, history, games, culture, sailing, family fun, music events to Dun Laoghaire from 29 June to 07 July. There are lots of events listed in this Dublin Event Guide and more can be found at
