Hi!!
|
|
How was your Culture Night? Did you make it out and join the tens of thousands of others or did you get stuck at home? Knowing that I will have to compile a Dublin Event Guide tonight, I was for a crazy second considering to stay home. But luckily that second was over really fast! ;-)
|
|
What did you experience? Did you enjoy the evening? I had a great night. I only had time for at tiny part of Culture Night, but it was good!
|
|
|
|
I started a the National Gallery, where a choir was singing and they projected art on the outside wall of the building. Then I went to Alliance Francaise to listen to some French songs and to discover that unfortunately the great cafe in there has gone. After that I stopped by the Royal College of Physicians and you will see their historic library on the Dublin Event Guide Facebook Page. Then onwards to the National Library. St. Mary’s choir were singing in the wonderful Reading Hall. The next stop was the National Museum where the “Irish Gold” exhibition is in the centre of the museum. On my way over in the direction of Mansion House I passed by the Freemason’s Hall with the usual long queue for the fascinating tour there. I only passed by Mansion House en route to Temple Bar. Mayhem (a sort of Culture Night rave) outside the former Central Bank, but I didn’t stay. I wanted to go to Meeting House Square, where there was music, but it was full and instead of queuing, I went onwards to the Amphitheatre at Wood Quay as my final stop and there I experienced the surreal experience of a Burlesque performance to promote the Irish language. Burlesque as gaeilge!? It was called “Cabáiste Cabaret” if you ever come across it.
|
 |
|
A great Culture Night with a varied programme and at least the Burlesque as Gaeilge will be something I will not easily forget. LOL What did you do? What do you remember? What did you enjoy? Leave some comments about your night on the Dublin Event Guide Page on Facebook? Everything you say there helps to spread the word about the Dublin Event Guide!

Last week Maite and Luana helped with a donation. Thank you so so so much! These donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and it is truly a wonderful group of people who help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going. Join this exclusive group!

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.)

Voicenotes – Brilliant Voice Note Taking and transcription app
|
|
|
|
I’ve been using Voicenotes for the last few months and it’s been a game-changer for my productivity! This simple app lets me take voice notes on the go and it transcribes everything for me. No more manual note-taking! after recording the note, it transcribes it and the transcription is super accurate and saves me a lot of time. Often apps like that come with a relatively high monthly fee an that makes them pretty uninteresting. Voicenotes is different. Right now, they’re offering a lifetime deal for just $50. If you’re looking for an easy way to capture your thoughts and stay organized, I highly recommend it. You can sign up here: www.getthislink.com/voicenotes
Voicenotes works in your webbrowser and there are also Android and iOS apps.

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.

+++ Trinity College Festivals
NExt week the Trinity Arts & Humanities Research Festival (23-27 Sep) will take place (www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/events/trinity-arts-and-humanities-research-festival/) and at the same time the Start Talking About Research Festival (www.start-ern.org/programme) that will on Friday culminante in the European Researcher’s Day will also happen. Three very interesting events or event components and the public, i.e. you and me are explicitly invited. So this is not just for TCD students!
|
|
+++ 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! :-)
|
|
+++ IKEA Crafting / Music / Cooking Workshops
Ikea in Ballymun runs a variety of crafting, music and cooking workshops it is always worh checking out. The workshops are free and usually go for 45 minutes. They are always for children, but the age is often not fixed. There are specific Toddler and baby workshops at times as well. Check them out on www.ikea.com/ie/en/stores/events/ikea-ballymun/
