Hi all!
The summer is over, but it seems we still get a few sun rays this weekend, before the long grey period might set in again. Outdoors events are making a last effort to tempt us and in a week or two, the indoor season will start and will continue until around St. Patrick’s Day (with a few brief interruptions). We certainly can’t complain this year. I remember the Dublin City Soul Festival Sunday as one of the best days. Sitting in the park listening to great music … what more could you want.
[ad]
We do not rely on good weather in Dublin, right? Because the default is not so great and good is an exception! So the events (and also the free events) will just continue. Adjusted to the changed circumstances but not with any less energy or quality.
Bottom line? There is always something interesting to do in Dublin and if anyone gets bored in Dublin, then they don’t know about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). :-) This week have a good look at the competitions! There are some crackers! :-)
Oh and please keep spreading the word about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)! Tell the people you meet about it and suggest to them to subscribe too. They can do that easily on the right hand side at www.dublineventguide.com and they can also LIKE the Dublin Event Guide at www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide
And also remember that sending the Dublin Event Guide bills are EUR 170 every month and I need to find that every single month. A contribution of EUR 1 per month from you would be great if you enjoy the Dublin Event Guide. You can either choose to subscribe (EUR 12 per year) or you can contribute with a once-off sum here: www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm Every cent will be used for the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events).
Without putting your hand in your pocket (for the Dublin Event Guide) at all you can help by ALWAYS using the ad links in the Dublin News Section and the ads in the Dublin Event Guides when you buy/order goods. If you buy goods immediately after clicking on a link/ad that you find in this e-zine/newsletter (Groupon, LivingSocial, Amazon, Book Depository, LastMinute etc), you help the Dublin Event Guide everytime. This is how it works: The company you buy from (Groupon, Amazon, Living Social, Book Depository etc) registers that you came to them via a link from the Dublin Event Guide and they show their appreciation by giving a small commission (5-8%) to the Dublin Event Guide. This might only be 30 cent a go, but if you did that for all online purchases and if lots of people used it, then it could make a big dent into the EUR 170 needed. Use these links as often as possible it doesn’t cost you a cent and you help big time!
Have a great weekend + week!

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-mail magazine? If your week was great, you might not need it, but most of us had some challenging moments in the last week and there could be more in the coming week and this section is for the people that want to overcome the hurdles, achieve more and remember that despite all, life is great!
This week’s Feel Good message is a simple quote by Christian D. Larson:
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
I think that can stand on its own without further explanations. Just make sure that you don’t forget it during the week!

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.
This week you should look at the Dublin Festival of History and – if you are aging :-) – ath the Positive Ageing Week Programme, They are bigger programmes but there are some immediate one-day events as well: Angels in the Park and maybe the Antiques Roadshow in Glasnevin Cemetery sound interesting on Saturday. The Oktoberfest and the Nutgrove Arts Fest are worth your consideration as well, though.
On Sunday it is crystal clear: The World Vegetarian Day Festival (if that is your thing) and the Nepal Day are my highlights. There are lots of other cool events too, but you can’t do everything. ;-)
By the way, if you read through the Dublin Event Guide PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t think that you should or have to read it from top to bottom. Just read the headlines! If something interests you, read more, if it doesn’t move to the next!

Jinjo Crew Break Dancing fused with Korean and Irish Music – Ticket Competition
Sat 05 Oct: 19:30
DIT, Gleeson Theatre, Kevin Street, Dublin 8
A unique, once-off and very interesting event will take place on Saturday and the organisers were very generous.
A funky fusion of b-boying world champion, Jinjo Crew, with Korean and Irish traditional music ensembles will be performed. and this music and dance from completely different origins (Korea+Ireland) and genres (street dance+traditional music) will come together in unexpected harmony and fun to celebrate the multicultural melting pot that Dublin is.
The Jinjo Crew are world champions of all five international break-dancing competitions: UK B-Boy Championship, R16Korea, FreeStyle Session, Battle of the Year, and BC One! The Korean music will be performed by Queen, the most popular Korean traditional music ensemble and the traditional Irish music will be performed by the DIT Irish Traditional Music Ensemble.
You can’t buy tickets for the event. Instead you have to take part in this competition. It was originally mainly intended for the Korean community, but Ju Yearn Sun, a very passionate Dublin Event Guide supporter, who is involved in organising and promoting this event wanted to make sure that some Dublin Event Guide readers also could come to it. Thanks Ju Yearn!
The organisers have made 10 pairs of tickets available and to enter, you have to send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with JINJO in the subject of the mail and with your full name and mobile phone number in the body of the mail. The mail has to be with me by Wed 02 Oct at 15:00.

Promote your product or (non-free) event with a competition in the Dublin Event Guide!
The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) focuses on free events, but we all fully understand that not everything can be free in life and if you run a non-free event (or sell a cool product), I am sure it would help you if you could let the 26,000+ Dublin Event Guide readers know about your event or product. If you can make a few tickets (product samples) available for the Dublin Event Guide readers, I can help you and promote your event (product) in the context of a competition. Cost to you? In most cases not a cent! Just contact me on dublineventguide@gmail.com and we can discuss the details. It is all very simple! ;-)

Heartbeat of Home – Riverdance Mark II?
I am sure you have heard of Riverdance, an Irish dance and music phenomenon that was created as a 7-minute half-time show at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 and since then has been and still is on tour around the world as a full show. Nearly 20 years!! It has been seen by over 23 mio (!!) people in 350 cities all over the world and generated a massive amount of money. 10,000 performances. Amazing!
Now, 20 years later, the new Riverdance is being launched. It is called “Heartbeat of Home” and seems to be a new, updated and younger version of Riverdance. Still a dance and music show but now with more contemporary music mixed in as well and also afro-cuban and latin elements. Heartbeat of Home has been launched in the Grand Canal/Bord Gais Theatre this week and will run in Dublin from 25 Sept – 12 Oct for 21 performances only.
It’s not free, I know (EUR 20 – 47.50). But if “Heartbeat of Home” reaches only a fraction of the people Riverdance has reached, you want to know about it! ;-) Find more details on www.facebook.com/heartbeatofhome and on www.heartbeatofhome.com

Directly Elected Mayor for Dublin – You should voice your opinion!
With a bit of luck there will be a Directly Elected Mayor from mid 2014 that possibly would be responsible for all four local authorities in Dublin (Dublin City, Fingal County, South Dublin County and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County). This would get rid of the nonsensical role of the “Lord Mayor”, who is not elected and is only there to open shopping centres and exhibition and has no proper influence and hopefully would replace the “City Manager” who is not elected and doesn’t seem to have to do what the elected councils decide. But this is just ONE of a few options for the new role.
If you want to have some influence on the decisions in connection with the Directly Elected Mayor, you can submit your views or just take part in a survey. Survey participation and submissions are invited until 12 October and you can find out more at www.mayor4dublin.ie/

Help Homeless People with your vote – Coca Cola Fund
Alma Reddington, a loyal Dublin Event Guide Reader, who works with homeless people in Depaul Ireland, contacted me and asked for support for Depaul Ireland.
Similar to an alcoholic drinks company that offered to support some deserving organisations recently ;-) , Coca-Cola is offering money to organisations that spread the word about and help their “customers” with achieving a healthy lifestyle. 45 organisations got shortlisted and are all from the sports or charity field.
Different from the alcoholic drinks company, Coca-Cola runs a fairer process by only allowing (and requiring) ONE vote and by putting the public vote at the END of the process instead of at the beginning (and ignoring it then!).
Vote for the organisation that you think should get up to EUR 25,000 by clicking on this link and consider that Alma would very much appreciate your support for Depaul Ireland.

SKILTFUL – TRY OUT COURSES BEFORE YOU TAKE THEM!
Skiltful is a new website that will allow you to try out courses before you take them by allowing you to access online sample sessions or lectures. The people behind Skiltful also plan to provide free online courses for everybody who wants to upskill. You can see the website at www.skiltful.com
Skiltful already got David McWilliams, the popular economist, on board. David is launching a new evening Diploma course and on Skiltful you can get exclusive access to some of his course material. The free training videos are at www.skiltful.com/economics
(By the way: The banners above did get a little chewed in the technical transfer process, it seems. They should have looked nicer, but I am sure you get the idea nevertheless.)

If you took the opportunity and started a new business recently (not more than approx. 6 months ago) and need a bit of support to let Dublin know about your new venture, talk to me. In this section I will feature new companies every now and then. I had to give it a rest for a while due to some technical challenges, but I seem to have mastered them more or less by now. ;-)

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.

Fitsteps Masterclass
19:30 – 20:30, Fri 27 Sep
Hub Events Centre, Unit 9 Millennium Business Park, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15
FitSteps was created as a result of the long dance training sessions that are part of Britain’s entertainment show “Strictly Come Dancing”. Natalie Lowe, Mark Foster and Ian Waite had the idea to mix the graceful steps of Ballroom Dancing and the up tempo steps of the Latin dances together to create a fun, energetic and effective way to stay fit and keep trim that would appeal to everyone, even if they couldn’t dance.
On Friday a free class takes place in Dublin to introduce you to this new fitness/workout routine. Tickets need to be booked on www.fitstepsdublin.eventbrite.co.uk/
FitSteps® came to life in 2013 as the result of a collaboration between two of the UK’s most famous ballroom dancers and Britain’s most successful swimmer!
During the long, arduous dance training sessions that are an integral part of Britain’s most successful entertainment show, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, Natalie Lowe, Mark Foster and Ian Waite had a great idea.
They decided to mix the graceful steps of Ballroom and the up tempo steps of the Latin dances together to create a really fun, energetic and effective way to stay fit and keep trim that would appeal to everyone, even if they couldn’t dance. A dance fitness programme that is ‘so much fun you don’t even realise you’re getting fit!’
And FitSteps® is unique. It is the first time that classic Latin and Ballroom dances have been brought together with proven fitness techniques and principles to create not only a programme that can have extraordinarily wide appeal, but one that also has the potential to make a real and lasting impact on the health of the nation

Yoga in Phoenix Park
11:00 – 12:00, Sat 28 Sep
Bandstand (behind the Tea Room, near the Zoo), Phoenix Park, Dublin 8
The very last time for Yoga in the Park in 2013! After Saturday, there will be a long break until May of next year. Fiona Moloney from Two Palms Yoga and her whole team of Yoga instructors have done a great job again and many of you told me that that you enjoyed Yoga in the Park. Now this week there is a last push because if you remember the money collected from donations is all for the Simon Community and there are another EUR 120 needed to reach the impressive amount of EUR 4,000. So, come to the Yoga a last time and be generous if you can. :-) The weather forecast looks promising!
From May until September, Fiona from www.twopalmsyoga.com and her team of teachers invite to an hour of Yoga in Phoenix Park every Saturday. No booking is required and you decide how much you give, the class is donation based.
All proceeds go to the Dublin Simon Community, a charity that does invaluable work for the homeless people in Dublin. Just bring a mat or a towel, some water and (hopefully) even some sun protection to the class. Should the weather be bad, the bandstand will be shelter or even training location. The training is suitable for all levels, so even total beginners are very welcome.

ILLUSION: Nothing is as it seems – Science Gallery
12:00 – 18:00, Sat 28 Sep
Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2
This is the last weekend! Last opportunity!
The current Science Gallery exhibition “ILLUSION: Nothing is as it seems” will run from 12 July-29 Sept and is really interesting. Admission is free.
The exhibition is all about Illusions and it is a “perception-shattering insight into the human mind, playfully combining the techniques used by magicians and explored by psychologists.”
More than 20 installations will deceive your eyes (and ears) and will show you that what we perceive is often radically different from the reality. You will find impressive and amazing things, but nothing will be boring! The exhibition is suitable for all ages, so bring your children or – if you don’t have any – just bring yourself.
ILLUSION was curated by psychologist, author and magician Richard Wiseman, and was researched by deception artist Paul Gleeson and a large group of mediators are available in the gallery to explain all the things that you see (or hear) to you.

Oktoberfest 2013
12:00 – 00:30, Sat 28 Sep
George’s Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1
Oktoberfest in Dublin takes place from 19 Sept – 06 Oct. It is a German Beer Festival with Erdinger Weissbräu Beer, lots of German Bavarian Food and authentic Bavarian music.
Opening hours are Sun-Wed 12:00-23:00 and Thurs-Sat: 12:00-00:30.
The Festival Tent is on the platform in George’s Dock and there are severe admission restrictions (quantity of people). With already huge but still growing popularity of the Oktoberfest, this means there will be long queues already from around 17:30. You can get beer and some food next to the CHQ building as well, so you don’t have to queue to get into the tent, but if that is what you want, you might need to pre-book.
Admission is free, but after 22:00 an somewhat strange wristband system kicks in whereby you have to buy a wristband for EUR 6 that gives you a EUR 5 food voucher. Allegedly licensing rules force them to do that.

ILLUSION: Nothing is as it seems – Science Gallery
12:00 – 18:00, Sun 29 Sep
Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2
The very last day of this Science Gallery exhibition:
The current Science Gallery exhibition “ILLUSION: Nothing is as it seems” will run from 12 July-29 Sept and is really interesting. Admission is free.
The exhibition is all about Illusions and it is a “perception-shattering insight into the human mind, playfully combining the techniques used by magicians and explored by psychologists.”
More than 20 installations will deceive your eyes (and ears) and will show you that what we perceive is often radically different from the reality. You will find impressive and amazing things, but nothing will be boring! The exhibition is suitable for all ages, so bring your children or – if you don’t have any – just bring yourself.
ILLUSION was curated by psychologist, author and magician Richard Wiseman, and was researched by deception artist Paul Gleeson and a large group of mediators are available in the gallery to explain all the things that you see (or hear) to you.

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up
14:00, Sun 29 Sep
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!

Oktoberfest 2013
12:00 – 00:30, Tue 01 Oct
George’s Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1
Oktoberfest in Dublin takes place from 19 Sept – 06 Oct. It is a German Beer Festival with Erdinger Weissbräu Beer, lots of German Bavarian Food and authentic Bavarian music.
Opening hours are Sun-Wed 12:00-23:00 and Thurs-Sat: 12:00-00:30.
The Festival Tent is on the platform in George’s Dock and there are severe admission restrictions (quantity of people). With already huge but still growing popularity of the Oktoberfest, this means there will be long queues already from around 17:30. You can get beer and some food next to the CHQ building as well, so you don’t have to queue to get into the tent, but if that is what you want, you might need to pre-book.
Admission is free, but after 22:00 an somewhat strange wristband system kicks in whereby you have to buy a wristband for EUR 6 that gives you a EUR 5 food voucher. Allegedly licensing rules force them to do that.

Colombia is experiencing one of the most worrying human rights crises in Latin America, yet, at the same time, Colombia has one of the most vibrant civil societies in the region, where human rights defenders play a prominent role. Colombian Human Rights organisations are a source of inspiration for many around the world; one of their main strengths is the extent to which their network reaches remote villages and covers the entire country. On Thursday you will hear some of the stories of both sides of the medal.
Speakers will be Niamh Ni Bhriain, who worked with Peace Brigades International and with LASC in Colombia, Adam Shapiro, Head of campaigns in Front Line Defenders and recently back from Colombia, and José Antonio Gutiérrez, research and development officer in LASC.

The Festival Tent is on the platform in George’s Dock and there are severe admission restrictions (quantity of people). With already huge but still growing popularity of the Oktoberfest, this means there will be long queues already from around 17:30. You can get beer and some food next to the CHQ building as well, so you don’t have to queue to get into the tent, but if that is what you want, you might need to pre-book.
Admission is free, but after 22:00 an somewhat strange wristband system kicks in whereby you have to buy a wristband for EUR 6 that gives you a EUR 5 food voucher. Allegedly licensing rules force them to do that.

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. ;-)
Seanad Eireann – Take it off the road, it has failed the NCT!
On Thursday a Referendum will take place in Ireland and if you are an Irish citizen you are allowed and definitely should vote. As a foreigner myself and many of you are not allowed to vote. But that doesn’t stop us from having an opinion and having a right to have an opinion. Nobody has to agree, but that is the case with all opinions, isn’t it?
One of the two questions on Thursday is if the Seanad should be abolished (YES) or if it should be kept (NO). In the beginning of that discussion there was a strong opinion in favour of closing it, it seemed, but oddly this changed in the last few weeks.
The Seanad is a totally and utterly undemocratic institution. Many many people in Ireland are never allowed to vote for any of the members. It is set up in such a way that always the current government has a majority in the Seanad and it seems to be the political retirement home of Ireland.
The reason why many are never allowed to vote is because a strange system was chosen when it was set up that allows for example people who went to SOME of the Irish Universities to vote and others not and if you didn’t go to university then you most likely are not allowed to vote. The reason why the government always will have a majority is because the Taoiseach is putting 11 unelected (usually failed) party members and friends in as Senators.
If it is not bad enough that the Senate is completely undemocratic, it gets worse if you look at what it has every achieved. It is meant to be a control instance (an Upper House) that controls the Dail (Lower House), but the Senate is not even allowed to veto anything. All they can do is delay a law and if I read that right, they did that only TWICE in their whole history. No surprise if the current government has always the majority in the Senate.
Recently many started saying the Senate should remain but it HAS to be overhauled. And interestingly Fianna Fail, the party that was in government until the last elections and for many years until then is the loudest shouter. The demand correction of the Seanad, but wait, why did they NEVER make an attempt when they were in power? A total joke!
In my opinion it would be good to have a control instance, an Upper House. But that won’t happen with the current Senate and repairing is sometimes not possible. If the foundation of your house is totally useless, then you have to tear down the house and build it new. Getting the paint can out will not make any significant difference.
The Senate is a house that needs to be torn down and re-built or a car that needs to be taken off the road because it failed ALL tests and it has to be newly built! Everything else will not achieve anything and it is not even clear if the politicians in government or in the opposition know how to fix it anyway because no one submitted a comprehensive plan.
So, I would vote YES! Get rid of it and then re-build it again. You say the rebuilding will not happen? Well the parties that think it should be there have to submit a proper proposal and even if the Senate will be gone for 4 or 8 years, it is better to do that than to keep a totally useless organisation in place.
That is my political rant over. ;-) No matter what you vote, please do vote and use your voice!

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.
