———————————————————————

Hi all!

Today, on 12 November 2010, we have reason to celebrate!! Together we managed to break through the 7500 subscriber barrier and there is no stopping. ;-) I had set the goal of 7500 some years ago for the 31 December, but we managed to achieve it 7 weeks earlier. Great achievement! Thanks to you all for your help!
Now it is onwards to 10,000! :-) This next milestone is planned for 31 Dec 2011, so just a bit more than 1 year from now to get 2,500 more people ton subscribe. Do I think I can do that? In all honesty, I don’t think _I_ can! BUT, do I think WE can achieve that? Without a shadow of a doubt!! Imagine, if just one third of you would find ONE additional person tomorrow, we could arrive at 10,000 subscribers within one single day! And I am sure you know ONE additional person, don’t you? ;-)

[ad]

Occasionally I am asked why I care about the number of subscribers. Considering that I don’t make any money with the Event Guide, I obviously won’t get more money if there are more people reading the Event Guide. And there are a number of reasons. The first one is this: The only way to measure if the time I invest in the Event Guide is invested wisely or is wasted, is through the number of subscribers. The second reason is that as a group with a common interest, our Dublin Event Guide Community grows in influence through the number of subscribers. With 7500 people we are not a bad bunch. But imagine if we were 20,000 or so. The third reason has to with money: I have lots of ideas and plans for this Event Guide, but a number of time depend on money being available to realise the ideas and plans. For that reason I have some advertisement in the Event Guide now and more subscribers means that more advertisers are interested in the newsletter.

This brings me on to the subject of advertisement. Yes to get this free newsletter you will have to accept a bit of advertisement.

______Joerg’s Picks______________

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.

I hope that this week will be a little quieter. ;-) Last week was mad busy and every now and then I need to take some time out as well…..between 30-60 minutes or so. LOL But seriously, I will be busy on Saturday, but it seems I will have a quiet Sunday. On Saturday+Sunday we run a 2-day beginners course again teaching Krav Maga, the self-defence system that everybody can learn easily (www.kravmagaireland.com), but I will not be there all the time on both days. On Saturday afternoon, I will pop my head in the door at the Flamenco event in the Culture Box if I get the opportunity and hope to be able to go to the Project A Apparel launch in the evening. On Sunday I currently have no plans yet apart from the Gardiner Street Gospel Mass in the evening.
During the week I will start early with next week’s Event Guide because on Thursday I will be with the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir at the PeterMcVerry Trust Event in the Button Factory in Temple Bar, so I better get some work done on this newsletter before Thursday. If I had the time I would go to the Social Entrepreneur event on Wednesday and to the open night at Dunsink Observatory.

Thanks!

______Dublin News______________

GOOD BYE THOMAS READS
Thomas Reads Pubs were with us for many years and they were good places. There were Thomas Reads Pubs in Parliament Street and at Smithfield, Pravda belonged to the group and there were The Bailey in Duke Street, Searsons in Baggot Street, The Winding Stair on Ormond Quay, The Globe in in South Great George’s Street, The Harbourmaster Bar in the IFSC, Floridita in Abbey Street, the Dawson Lounge in Dawson Street, Ron Black’s in Dawson Street, plus a few more places and 8 bars at Dublin Airport. An impressive empire of pubs, but unfortunately it all came crashing down a few years ago. Many of the pubs provided free live music and were therefore definitely on my radar. Since the whole group with all 22 Pubs went into examinership in November 2008 (www.rte.ie/news/2008/1128/thomasread-business.html) a lot has happened. A number of the pubs closed down and others were sold and re-opened. Some are still in the middle of the process and this article explains what is going on: www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/commercialproperty/2010/1110/1224283010253.html Pravda is now The Grand Social and there are still/again a lot of free events, Ron Black’s, a place that I liked but didn’t frequent toooo often, will become an Argentinean Steak Restaurant and many other places have been or will be re-opened under new management.
A shocking aspect of this story is the massive rent that the owners of the premises STILL demand: EUR 450,000 to take over the lease and then EUR 400,000 per year to rent the former Ron Black’s, is just crazy money. That means the place needs to make a PROFIT of 1095 per day, just to pay the rent. Can you see why the prices in Ireland are so ridiculously high?

DUBLIN BIKES SCHEME TO EXPAND TO 5,000 BIKES
This is brilliant news! The Dublin Bikes Scheme will expand from 450 to up to 5000 bikes over the next five years according to the chairman of the Dublin City Council Transport Committee. Apart from the significant increase in bikes, the message says as well that the area of coverage will be significantly expanded. New bike stations will be in the Docklands and at Heuston Station. Two really busy areas where having bikes makes a LOT of sense. Let’s hope that this is not just a comment of a councillor but a definite plan, because it would be a really positive development. www.rte.ie/news/2010/1111/dublin_bikes.html

———Opportunities—————–

In order to beat an economic downturn not governments can help, but individuals are needed that take the initiative and to create new markets and new opportunities for themselves and for their customers and hopefully employees. The banks don’t help anymore, the government doesn’t want to help, so we have to help ourselves! The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) will help you if you have recently started a company and if you could do with spreading the word. I hope being mentioned here and being seen by the 7000+ readers of the Event Guide will kick start something big for you. In return I expect you to tell your clients and friends about the Event Guide and once you have made a nice bit of money, a donation would be very appreciated. ;-) (This offer is for start-ups in relatively early stages only. Established companies can contact me regarding very affordable advertisement options in the Dublin Event Guide.) If you want to promote your start-up/young company here for free, let me know: dublineventguide@gmail.com.

More to come! New companies that will be mentioned here soon are a Car Sharing Scheme and a Nutritionist. Watch this space.

______Exhibitions_______________

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/exhib-lein/
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.

CHRISTIAN ZIONISM IN THE USA – FILM SCREENING
On Fri 12 Nov at 19:30, the Irish Palestine Alliance invites to a screening of the film “With God On Your Side”, a film about Christian Zionism in the US. The event will take place in the J.M. Synge Theatre, Room 2309, in the Arts Block, Trinity College.
The film challenges the basis of Christian Zionism and its implications for Palestine. The significance of the Christian Zionist Movement in the USA cannot be overestimated in terms of its influence on US policy towards Israel. It ensures Israel continues to receive between 3-8 billion dollars annually from the US in grants, loans and subsidies and military assistance.
The screening will be followed by a discussion led by the Director, Porter Speakman, Jr and Dr Stephen Sizer. Admission is free. www.sadaka.ie www.indymedia.ie/article/98034

SONGS OF THE SOUL – RDS CONCERT HALL
Songs of the Soul is an experience of the stillness and power of meditative music, performed by an international ensemble of over 60 musicians. The concert features music performed in a variety of styles – from a-capella choral singing, to sitar and tabla improvisations, haunting solo tenor vocals, culminating in a powerful finale with all musicians on stage. The Songs of the Soul concerts were started in 2008 as a tribute to the music of the late composer Sri Chinmoy. Since then, the musicians have toured all over the world, visiting 25 countries in just two years. Over a performing career lasting over 20 years until his death in 2007, Sri Chinmoy performed at almost 800 public concerts free of charge, out of a belief that inner peace and joy was not something you could charge people for. “Songs of the Soul” continue that tradition and free tickets can be requested by calling 086-2576699. For more information (and to get a taste of the concert experience), check www.songsofthesoul.com
The concert will take place in the RDS Concert Hall, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 on Fri 12 Nov at 20:00.

* Killian Stokes – Founder and CEO of mygoodpoints.org

Dunsink Observatory is the oldest scientific institution in Ireland. Built in 1783-1785 for the first Andrews’ Professor of Astronomy in Trinity College Dublin, the observatory is situated on a hill 8km northwest of Dublin’s city centre.

Open nights are free of charge. If you wish to attend the Open Nights, contact Hilary O’Donnell, 01-6621333 or on hod@cp.dias.ie. …and ask Hilary when the event starts, because their website www.dias.ie/lang/en/cosmic/astro/dunsink.html doesn’t say it.

Note: This is NOT a free event, but I will be heavily involved in this event, so I take the liberty to tell you about it.;-) Peter McVerry is a Jesuit priest and an amazingly hard working campaigner and supporter for young homeless people, many of them with drug addiction problems. His trust provides homes to these young people and he and his team supports them. I am sure you can imagine that this is expensive and the contribution from the state isn’t enough to cover the cost, so there are regularly fundraising events and at such a fundraising event takes place on Thurs 18 Nov from 19:00-23:30 in the Button Factory in Temple Bar. Admission is EUR 20 (at the door) and the contributors are the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir, Chrisy Dignam & Joe Jowell from Aslan, Kiera Dignam, Comedian Eric Lalor, Tupelo, Remedy-ed, Must try D n D and a few more acts and surprises. Since I am looking after everything technical for the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir, I will be in the Button Factory on Thursday (while I SHOULD write the Event Guide ;-) ). www.homelessagency.ie/Media/2010-News/Peter-Mc-Verry-Trust-Entertainment-Fundraiser.aspx and a brief video with the invitation is here www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvMTty5v9Dw

______This is odd!!______________

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. ;-)

FALLON & BYRNE AND EVOLUTION
A principle in Evolutionary Science is that the creature with the highest degree of adaptability will be the one that survives and outlives the less flexible creatures. Dublin is full of seemingly inflexible creatures and many of them will disappear. In the food shop world the challenged “creatures” are the “Fresh”, “Donnybrook Fairs” and “Fallon & Byrnes” of this world. Shops that charge a good bit more than your normal Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi or Lidl and that try to carry the “posh” or “exclusive” image. A good few of the challenged “creatures” will close over the next few years unless they show a HUGE amount of adaptability. Fallon &Byrne was in the news recently when they had to pay a LOT of money to the Revenue Commission (www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2010/0915/1224278900121.html) and the article suggests that they have some serious challenges on their hands. Yesterday, Fallon & Byrne invited to an Christmas Extravaganza, where for 5 hours everybody was invited to “Taste 50 mouth-watering foods and 25 wines from our talented artisan suppliers, who will be bursting with ideas for Christmas eating & drinking”. I have to apologise to you for not telling you about this event last week, I only found out later! But something like that COULD be a sign of adaptability? Or am I too optimistic? I thought that it was odd that for 5 hours people are invited to try food and wine for free, because the price level of the goods in the shop is just soooo madly high that the shop just seems to by at odds with the economic world around it. I guess time will tell if they are really adaptable or if the event is more akin to a dying gasp? www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=160345010670329
