Hi all!
**Apologies for the late arrival of this week’s Dublin Event Guide. I had some technical challenges that delayed me significantly!**
This week will be one of the quietest this summer (unless Dublin Pride is your thing!), but with the July weekends all will change. National Play Day, Street Performance World Championship (now called “City Spectacular”), Dublin City Soul Festival (now called “City Picnic”) and lots more events will come up in July and maybe it is a good thing that we have a slightly quieter week.
But don’t think there is nothing to do! Dublin Pride is big, but it might not be for everyone. But there is also a Summer Festival in Phoenix Park on Sunday. And the Dublin Flea Market. And the last chance to see the FAT exhibition in the Science Gallery. And a Classic Boat Rally. And an American Football Game. And a great music weekend and market in the Workman’s Club. Did somebody say “quiet”!?!? ;-)
Thanks a lot to the great Feargal O’R, Scott P, Jackie C, David F, Belinda B and Sibylle D! They read my appeal last week and immediately stood up to help with a donation and they were so generous that from just EUR 30 out of 3 weeks, the amount grew to EUR 170, which is exactly the amount I need every month, so June is saved. Thanks! I know July is already around the corner, but I trust you wonderful people. :-) Thanks for all your help!
If you wonder what the significance of the EUR 170 is, here is the explanation:
The sending of the weekly e-mail newsletter costs EUR 170 per month and for this I need your help. If four wonderful people can be found per week, then we usually make it exactly to that amount. You can help here: www.perfectresults.info/donate.htm I am also looking for some corporate sponsors. Maybe two or three companies that are prepared to help with a little more than the individual donations of around 12 Euro. If you know anybody, send them my way. :-) Recently the donations dropped significantly. Maybe it is the bad times, but EUR 12 is just 2 pints and for the equivalent of 2 pints you get 52 issues full of information about free cultural events. That’s DEFINITELY worth 2 pints! Please…and Thanks! :-)
And finally – I can’t say it often enough: Please help spreading the word about the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events). Your friends can easily subscribe at www.dublineventguide.com and they will get a weekly e-mail magazine with all the free events in Dublin if they subscribe. They don’t have to pay a cent for that and their e-mail address is completely safe with me! More than 21,000 people receive the Dublin Event Guide every week and we are more than 47,000 people at the Dublin Event Guide Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide Check it out and click on LIKE when you are there.
And this is a great opportunity to help the Dublin Event Guide for absolutely no cost to you:
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 (in the same session) 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 an event-full weekend and week,
–Joerg

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!
Today’s Feel Good Slot is a quote from Elisabeth Elliot, an 87 year old author and speaker. She said
Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.
I don’t know exactly what Elisabeth Elliot meant when she said it, but I interpret it this way:
When we have a new plan, a goal, something we want to achieve in our lives, we eventually (should) come to a point when we plant a seed. This seed is planted because we believe in us being able to achieve what we want. It is planted in faith.
But along the way, there will be hurdles! Challenges will get us to doubt if we are able to achieve the goal and often we are tempted then to dig up the little plant because we doubt that it will be able to grow into a tree.
Faith (or trust in your abilities) is good nutrition for the little plant, but doubt is very bad nutrition. So don’t feed your little plant doubt and make sure that you don’t dig up the plant when you are temporarily short of good nutrition!

This part is important to “keep the show on the road”:
To cover the cost for the Dublin Event Guide I need your help and every week generous and nice Dublin Event Guide readers help with a donation.
Last week Feargal O’R, Scott P, Jackie C, David F, Belinda B and Sibylle D were the wonderful people who supported the Dublin Event Guide with a donation. And I sooo appreciate their help! Thanks! Without donations there won’t be a Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events): Your donation will ensure that the Dublin Event Guide will continue arriving in your Inbox every week and every donation will benefit EVERY Dublin Event Guide reader!
The cost for sending the weekly newsletter is approx. EUR 170 per month and a donation from you of just EUR 12 per year will ensure that I will be able to pay the bills.
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 just 25 cent per week!), but even if it is just the price of 2 pints it will help.
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.
This weekend I will possibly go watch the Dublin Pride parade. It is a big event with thousands of participants. If you want to watch the parade, though, check the parade route in the event listing in this Dublin Event Guide. It is a completely different route than you might expect once the parade went down O’Connell Street.
Dublin Pride is a maybe for me, but the Midsummer Festival in Phoenix Park on Sunday and the Dublin Flea Market are definite destinations. I already went last week to the FAT exhibition in the Science Gallery, so I will leave it to you to go this week (it is the last week!!). Then there is a Classic Boat Rally in Clontarf with added music and entertainment.
Sport is your thing? Well, with all the football, you probably can’t complain that much and we will have more this week again. To change the scenery a little, you can watch an American Football Game this week.
And if music is more your area, then go to the Workman’s Club’s Wellington Weekender.
Enjoy Dublin!

Giselle – Ballet – Ticket Competition
28+29 June
National Concert Hall, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2
Monica Loughman Ballet presents the quintessential romantic ballet, Giselle, at the National Concert Hall this June 28th and 29th. Marius Petipa’s classic is a tale of betrayal, the supernatural and a love that transcends death.
The role of Giselle will be danced by principal of the Lithuanian National Opera Ballet, Olga Konosenko and the part of Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis will be performed by Irish Ballet artist Leanne Se_ton (replace the “_” in her name here with a “x” to get the correct spelling. I am trying to outsmart Spam Filters).
First performed in Paris in 1841, Giselle is one of the most magnificent and enchanting of the classic ballets.
Giselle will be performed on Sat 28 and Sun 29 June and tickets are EUR 25 – EUR 35. They can be bought on www.nch.ie
For one Dublin Event Guide reader, the ballet company has made a pair of tickets available and the lucky winner is Martina Miller. Congratulations!

01-05 July
Players Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin 2
The Dizzytails Theatre Company will perform “Festen” by David Eldridge from 01-05 July in the Players Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin 2.

sister of Christian. As Helge’s eldest son, Christian will raise the first toast. Confined within the family house. The guests are rocked by the revelations that pierce and destroy the veneer of middle – class respectability.
Tickets are EUR 12 and EUR 10 for concessions. And to order tickets, just send a mail to info@duplayers.com
The Dizzytails Theatre Company has made a pair of tickets available for the performance on Tues 01 July and the lucky winner is Raymond Lambert. Congratulations!

Help the Dublin Event Guide! It won’t cost you a cent!
Do you enjoy free events? Does it help you to find out about all these free events simply in one e-mail magazine or on one website? Does the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) deliver all this for you and maybe even more? In that case, you probably also would want it to continue forever, right?
To achieve that some money is needed. Donations are a great help, but not everyone feels they can donate at the moment. So here is the solution: If you could help with a donation without having to pay a cent from your own money wouldn’t that be cool? You can!!
When you buy books online, buy them from Book Depository or from Amazon and use these links to go to the website:
Book Depository
Amazon
And when you buy from Living Social or Groupon use these links:
Groupon
LivingSocial
When you buy holidays (from Lastminute.com, Expedia or Hotels.com) or other products buy them via clicking on the links below:
Pigsback | O2 | Vodafone | Pixmania
Expedia | Lastminute.com | Hotels.com
(You can also copy these links and send them to your friends.)
When you click on the link and then buy, your books/products/holidays etc cost exactly the same as if you went to the website directly. But if you go via the links above, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will get 5-8% of what you spend as a commission. That’s not a lot, but if you and lots of other people used that link every time, it would amount to a fair amount of crucially important money. Use the links often, actually EVERY time you buy from the relevant site, not just once!
Giving money for free! That’s how easy it is. ;-) THANK YOU!!!
And if you want to donate money directly, then you can do that here: www.perfectresults.info/donation.htm

New Advertiser for Dublin Bikes
Dublin Bikes will be renamed and will get a big ad sticker because Coca-Cola Zero will become the new advertisement partner and name sponsor. Some newspapers exitedly announced that the 500,000 that Coca-Cola will pay will result in a further extension of the bike scheme, but that is incorrect – at least for now. Dublin City was for some time looking for a company that would pay 500,000 to cover the running cost.
I can’t see myself calling dublinbikes ever “Coca-Cola Zero dublinbikes” and I would be surprised if any user ever did. But I guess a cooperation of the Dublin Bikes scheme with a non-sugar soft drink manufacturer is easier acceptable than the “Sports = beer” link that other advertisers want to create with their sports club and sports competition sponsorship.
Read also the This is Odd section for more Dublin Bikes analysis.

People of the Year Award – Open for Nomination
Many countries have a system (medals or titles) that allows them to show appreciation for extraordinary people. Ireland does not have such a system, so the People of the Year Awards filled that gap 40 years ago and every year since then deserving people will be honoured and celebrated through this award.
You can nominate the people that you think are deserving. That could be a sports person (and a certain retiring Rugby player did win the award previously) or it could just be a “nobody” who is doing extraordinary things. You choose!
The award ceremony will be on 06 December and from now until 05 September you can nominate people that you think are outstanding. Once the nominations are made, a panel of adjudicators will make the final decision.
So, if you know somebody who you would like to nominate, go to www.peopleoftheyear.com/ and click on “Nominate Now” at the top (right hand side) of the page.

This section is intended to feature new startup companies and projects. Opportunities that people saw and that they chose not to ignore. I am, however, experiencing a little technical problem with this section, so for now I won’t be able to use it. I will keep you posted.
|
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 www.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.

Ulysses Cylinders by Dale Chihuly and Seaver Leslie
19 June – 23 August
Coach House, Dublin Castle Gardens, Dame Street, Dublin 2
Ulysses Cylinders by Dale Chihuly and Seaver Leslie with Flora C. Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick
Dale Chihuly’s vibrant coloured glass installations and opulent Chandeliers hang in many of the world’s most prestigious museums and public spaces including the Victoria and Albert museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Louvre in Paris.
A world premier of ‘Ulysses Cylinders’ inspired by James Joyces’s Ulysses will come to the Coach House of Dublin Castle. This collaborative exhibition combines the alchemic artistry of Dale Chihuly with painter Seaver Leslie’s pen and ink drawings to create a unique collection of golden glass Cylinders.
Working with Leslie’s drawings on paper, artists Mace and Kirkpatrick constructed fragile glass drawings, which Chihuly’s team studio amalgamated into individual Cylinders of glass wrapped in gold leaf. Each drawing offers a visual trigger into selected narratives of Ulysses as recounted by Joyce.
Admission is free. www.dublincastle.ie/NewsEvents/Title,31395,en.htm
Chihuly will also exhibit his signature work at Solomon Fine Art (Balfe Street, Dublin 2) from 19 June – 31 July. Admission is free.

Rhythms of a Port by Moira Sweeney
01-15 July – Daily 12:00-18:00 (Opening: 01 July 18:00)
Red Brick Shed on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay (at junction with Lime Street), Dublin 2
Set in an imposing redbrick warehouse beside the Samuel Beckett Bridge on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Rhythms of a Port brings to life personal reflections, stories and memories of dockworkers, boatmen and port managers. This former dry cargo store serves as a reminder of the working docks which were once close to the heart of the city. Multi-media descriptions of everyday reality on a contemporary working dock contrast with history, to reflect on of a transformed way of life.

Breaking the Silence – Trocaire Palestine
Thurs 19 June – Sun 29 June (Mon-Sat 11:00-18:00, Sun 13:00-18:00)
Gallery of Phtography, Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
Former Israeli soldiers will launch a striking photography exhibition that reveals the reality of daily life for soldiers and Palestinian civilians living under occupation.
Breaking The Silence, an organisation of former Israel Defence Force (IDF) combatants present an exhibition of photographs taken by soldiers serving in the West Bank and Gaza. The photographs and the accompanying testimony offer an insight into the tactics used by the IDF to control and disrupt the daily lives of Palestinian civilians, and reveal the psychological and physical damage those tactics have on both the Palestinian people and the soldiers themselves.
Former Israeli soldiers will be at the gallery to engage directly with visitors and can provide guided tours for groups.

Yoga in Phoenix Park
11:00 – 12:00, Sat 28 Jun
Bandstand (behind the Tea Room, near the Zoo), Phoenix Park, Dublin 8
This is the fifth year for “Yoga in the Park”, a brilliant initiative for a very worthy cause: From May until September, Tine from www.aditiyoga.org/ and her team of teachers invite to an hour of Yoga in Phoenix Park every Saturday. No booking is required.
The class is donation based, but all proceeds go to the Dublin Simon Community, a charity that does invaluable work for the homeless people in Dublin and the suggested donation for this very good cause is EUR 5.
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.

FAT – Science Gallery Exhibition
12:00 – 18:00, Sat 28 Jun
Science Gallery, Pearse Street, TCD, Dublin 2
Last two days of this exhibition:
The newest Science Gallery exhibition has the theme “FAT – It’s Delicious” and it will run from 16 May – 29 Jun. The exhibition is a “lab in the gallery” event, which means that it is not just an exhibition to watch, but there are some interaction and real research elements to the exhibition.
The exhibition will show you the good and and the bad sides of fat. There will be soap that has been made from human fat (gained during a liposuction), animal fat is being cured in alcohol and a delicious meal will be made from it at one of the events, the benefits of plant oils are mentioned and the risks of obesity are pointed out. In addition you can contribute to research through tests and experiments about BMI, agility, body image and blood quality.
I like lab in the gallery events because it is not “just” an exhibition but you also are invited (you don’t have to!) to contribute to research. Kids will get the exhibition, but need some help from the parents with it. You should definitely bring them! However, kids will not be able to do the research elements and might get bored, so plan your trip well.
As always I strongly recommend to have a look at the exhibition, but you only have until 29 June!
Admission is free and opening hours are Tues-Fri 12:00-20:00 and Sat+Sun 12:00-18:00.

Dublin Sketchers – Sunday Meet-up
14:00, Sun 29 Jun
Dublin (various locations)
The “Dublin Sketchers” is an informal group of (hobby) artists who go somewhere different in Dublin every Sunday (e.g. National Museum, Maritime Museum, Dublin Flea Market, Farmleigh, Botanic Gardens, Dublin Castle, Science Gallery, …), 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 below or on their Facebook Page 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!

The Lab, 1 Foley Street, Dublin 1
“In Praise of Plants” is a talk by Matthew Jebb, Director of the National Botanic Gardens.
Most people think that plants are dull and simple forms of life, but they are biologically more complex than animals – even the humble tomato has 40% more genes than a human being! Matthew Jebb will talk about the extraordinary lives that plants lead, how we overlook their ability to feel, see, smell and even talk to one another. This talk explores some of the hidden wonders of the plant world and will ensure you never think of plants in the same way again.
Admission is free, but registration is required here.

12 times more salary is enough! – Talk
18:00 – 20:00, Thu 03 Jul
The Ark, 11a Eustace Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
“Close the gap between rich and poor: 12 times more salary is enough!” is an introduction to and discussion about the Swiss campaign for a 1:12 ratio on salaries.
Speakers are Florian Vock (Former international secretary of JUSO) and Fabian Molina (President JUSO) from the Swiss 1:12 campaign and giving an overview of Irish Income Inequalities: Nat O’Connor, TASC
Admission to the event is free, but registration is required here.
The gap between the salaries of the highest and the lowest paid workers around the world is getting bigger and bigger. In Switzerland the ratio between lowest and highest paid worker in one company is nowadays 1:56 and was in 1984 1:6. The young Socialists have tried to tackle this problem politically: They campaigned for a 1:12 ratio which means, that no one in a company should earn more in one month than the lowest paid employee in one year.

Temple Bar Night Market
18:00 – 22:00, Thu 03 Jul
Temple Bar, Dublin 2
After a successful first year, the Temple Bar Night Market is back this year and thist time there will not just be a few sporadic events, but it will take place every Thursday from 05 June until 28 August.
It is an Arts & Craft Market (and not more – see below!) that will will feature the work of artists & craft makers and street entertainment from music to painting & from dance to workshops.
Last year many people criticised that they missed food stalls at the market and I expect that this won’t change: The market is organised by the Temple Bar Company, an association of the traders in Temple Bar, so it is not in their interest to have competing traders at this market. If you know what to expect, you will hopefully not be disappointed.

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. ;-)
Mrs Brown’s Boys
Yes, this is my “This is Odd!” this week: Mrs Brown’s Boys. It is such an odd TV programme and it is even odder that there is a film now. Interestingly people either find it VERY funny or they are left COMPLETELY cold, it seems there is only black or white and not much in between. Someone compared it last week to Marmite: You either love or hate it. Very true! In what “camp” do you belong?
I am left cold, unfortunately. Brendan O’Carroll has never managed to make me laugh and it seems that won’t change. I will go back to the good old “Father Ted”, which still makes me laugh every time. :-)
It seems in the UK, people who love the programme – the incredible number of 10 mio people watch it there. WHY!? – did get some serious shock last week when Brendan Carroll was on the Graham Norton show. They didn’t realise that “Mrs Brown” is a man. Ooops. www.dailyedge.ie/british-people-mrs-brown-man-1530026-Jun2014/
