Hi all!
I am writing this on Thursday evening and am just back from the lighting of the Christmas Lights in Temple Bar. Mulled wine, minced pies and brass music was part of the ceremony and there are REAL Christmas Trees in Temple Bar and tasteful lights. So, I am happy!
While strolling through Temple Bar, I got some hugely relevant advise from a guy on Temple Bar Square, so I had an educational experience as well. ;-) The slightly unsettled guy told everybody “Don’t let them lock you up! DON’T let them lock you up! Cause they will never let you out again!” …and seeing him dance outside a pub to the music inside the pub a few minutes later did make me FULLY understand what he meant. :-) Dublin has some great characters!
November is nearly over and we definitely are getting into Christmas territory now. The “do a daily random act of kindness” challenge is still ongoing, as I had suggested a few weeks back, and I still get lovely and supportive mails from many of you. Thank you very much!
Some people/companies who have offered prices for competitions in the past have offered some discounts or bonus products for the Dublin Event Guide Community in the run-up to Christmas and I will inform you about these great Christmas present ideas at or around the 08 December. If you own a company or work in a company that sells products or services and that are interested in getting involved in this or want to find out more, just send me a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with “Xmas” in the Subject Line.
Have a look at Dublin News and the Competition section today, there is loads of interesting stuff. :-)

______Joerg’s Plans______________
This Dublin Event Guide is quite long again, but you will see that there are not many MUST GO events in it. A slightly quieter week before all Christmas events will start next week. So my own plans this week will include some chill-out time. But nevertheless there are some events that I will try to attend:
*Saturday: The Fundraising Concert for Aline Barros on Saturday evening is an event I will definitely try to go to. Why don’t you nominate this cause as your random act of kindness for Saturday and join me in the support of Aline. Read her tragic story here www.herald.ie/national-news/herald-am-worker-left-paralysed-by-hitandrun-1447774.html
In the morning I might visit the Temple Bar Food Market again, I haven’t been there for a while, and after that I will probably go for a stroll in Grafton Street and will try to go to the RHA Gallery Exhibition at 15 Ely Place. I was warmly recommended to me.
*Sunday: The Flea Market was great last week and hopefully there will be another one before Christmas, but this week I will probably just go to the Gardiner Street Gospel Mass and spend the day doing some work on some “secret” ;-) project in the context of the Dublin Event Guide.
* During the week: I will try to find time to go to the play in the Project Art Centre “Everybody loves Sylvia” (you find it in the Competition section).

METRO NEWSPAPER ONLINE
Do you wish you could get the Metro newspaper every morning, but where you work or on your way to work nobody is handing it out? OR do you like reading Metro, but are uneasy about the impact the printed paper has on the environment? Then this is for you: Metro is now available online: www.e-metro.ie
SMITHFIELD FARMERS MARKET NOT LUCRATIVE
Not too surprisingly the Farmer’s market at Smithfield Plaza doesn’t seem to be very lucrative. I think the marketing for this market could be a LOT better, but the more profitable target market is definitely elsewhere. However it surprised me to read that Dublin City are the main drivers behind the choice of location. Because the traders don’t make enough money in Smithfield it is considered to set-up another farmer’s market at Portobello Harbour beside the Grand Canal. This is probably the square right beside Portobello College and opposite the Lower Deck Pub. A decision hasn’t been made yet.
Another interesting fact is that there is a farmer’s market in Coppinger Row, beside the Powerscourt Town Centre, I hadn’t known that.

DUBLIN CITY CAR PARKING CHARGES GOING UP
From 01 Dec the Pay&Display prices in the Yellow, Red and Green Zone in Dublin are being increased again.

The new charge in the Yellow Zone is EUR 2.90 (previously EUR 2.70), in The Red Zone EUR 2.40 (up from 2.20) and in the Green Zone EUR 1.60 (up from 1.50).

Some of you might have heard of Aline Barros. Aline is a 26 year old Brazilian woman, who is paralysed from the waist down after being hit by a truck while cycling to work in Dublin. She has been in hospital since the accident happened on 22 July. First she spent two months in the Mater Hospital and now she is in the Dun Laoghaire rehabilitation centre. Her friends are now attempting to raise money for Aline’s future care and rehabilitation in Ireland and Brazil.
A Fundraising concert is taking place on Sat 29 Nov at 18:30 in the Seven Day Adventist Church in Ranelagh (very near to the Luas Bridge).
Read Aline’s tragic story here and come to the fundraising event. www.herald.ie/national-news/herald-am-worker-left-paralysed-by-hitandrun-1447774.html I understand that admission to the concert is free, but obviously your donation is more than appreciated. It is not completely clear what type of concert it will be and I wasn’t able to find out more before sending this mail, but it seems to be a concert of classical music.
Thanks Miren for telling me about Aline’s story and about the concert.
TEMPLE BAR MARKETS
And as always: Don’t forget that the Temple Bar Markets (Temple Bar Food Market on Meeting House Square and the Temple Bar Designer Mart near Cow’s Lane) are taking place every Saturday from 10:00-16:30.

SONGS OF PRAISE – ROCK & ROLL KARAOKE – THE VILLAGE
“Songs of Praise” is a Rock&Roll Karaoke which takes place every Sunday in The Village Front Bar. I had included this event a good few months back, but then suddenly I read that it was not free and consequently took it out of the Event Guide again. I am not sure if the information back then was wrong or if a few events did cost money, but I now found out that Songs of Praise is actually free, so here it is again:
The event starts at 21:00 and The Village is in Wexford Street, Dublin 2. www.getpraise.com
“This is no ordinary karaoke. Songs of Praise has brought karaoke Back (In Black). The inner rock star is release when people to do Rock & Roll Karaoke songs on a big stage thru’ a very loud sound system. Rock & Roll Karaoke is credible, alternative rock songs. Think Van Halen, Kaiser Chiefs, Van, U2 and the Sex Pistols. There’s no ABBA on OUR list – only Air Guitar Anarchy! It works so well and people have so much fun that it has made Karaoke COOL.
But don’t think we only have Karaoke. There are our awesome DJs playing alternative tunes. This is how we do it, we have 20 minutes of DJ action and then it’s over to the stage for 15 minutes of Rock & Roll Karaoke.”
REGULAR SUNDAY EVENTS
There are a number of regular live events every week and over the coming weeks I will try to gather more of them and include them as a regular feature:
*Live Jazz from 13:00-15:00 in Powerscourt Centre in South William Street. I got reports that this event was not taking place last weekend and will try to find out more detail!
*The Mary Stokes Band (Blues) from 18:30 in Bruxelles near Grafton Street and near the Westbury Hotel. I listened to them a few times and they are brilliant!
*Jazz in The George in George’s Street from 16:30-18:00: Jazz Band Zrazy.
*Sunday Roast is the event in Thomas Reads “The Oak” in Dame Street/Parliament Street every Sunday from 19:00. Provided are free live music, games & roast potatoes.
* Loose Change play in Gibneys Pub, New St., Malahide every Sunday from 18:00-20:00.
* Gardiner Street Gospel Mass in St. Francis Xavier Church at the top of Gardiner Street near the junction with Dorset Street every Sunday at 19:30. Everybody is welcome independent from your level of religiousness. www.gardinerstreetgospelchoir.com
WEEKEND EVENTS
If you are just looking for Sunday events, please check the event list for Saturday as well. A good few events are taking place on Saturday AND Sunday, but it wouldn’t make sense to list them twice.

PUNHO FORTE – PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
On Thursday 04 Dec at the Loft in the Powerscourt Townhouse, Dublin, Punho Forte will hold a unique photography exhibition showcasing the work of some of Brazil’s poorest children. Punho Forte provides educational, recreational and mentoring programmes for disadvantaged youth in Itacare’s shanty towns. It is supported in its work by Punho Forte Ireland, a registered charity in the Republic of Ireland. The programmes aim to offer innovative ways to attract the most vulnerable children in the community into a structured and supportive environment where they can develop and attain their potential. Recreational programmes such as this photography project, Ponto de Vista, reach out to and engage the children otherwise forgotten in rapidly sprawling towns.
The point of view of the children taking these photographs is captured in their shots; vibrant and optimistic. Where adults see poverty, suffering and need; children see colour, fun and opportunity. Punho Forte hopes to develop this vibrancy with your help and all proceeds from the sale of prints at the exhibition will go toward the building of a community centre in Itacaré.
The exhibition is open from12:00-21:00 and tickets to a Brazilian inspired reception afterwards are available from Bridget Freyne, bridgetfreyne@hotmail.com, 087-9806866. However, I couldn’t find if/what the price of these tickets is.

______________________________
______This is odd!!______________
Some of you might remember that in 2003, Mary Harney – she was then the Minister for Enterprise – told us to “Shop around” so that we don’t pay overhiked prices in Ireland. (business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/article1158660.ece) This good and valid advise was not everywhere appreciated at the time, but now in 2008 we were even explicitly told by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Eibhlin Byrne, while she switched on the Christmas Tree lights in O’Connell street that out of “civic patriotism” we should shop in Dublin not outside the country (www.rte.ie/news/2008/1109/dublin.html).
Now, you might now that the Lord Mayor of Dublin has a purely symbolic and representative role (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Mayor_of_Dublin) and is a city councillor chosen by the other city councillors to be Lord Mayor for just one year. So maybe the opinion of this symbolic figure is not too relevant. But could somebody have pointed out to her that the new and flashing, totally non-christmassy Christmas Tree in O’Connell Street (part of a 1 million Euro investment into new Christmas lights) was bought in FRANCE??? (www.thepost.ie/breakingnews/ireland/mhideyeyqlid)
Even the Lord Mayor of Dublin won’t stop me from shopping around and comparing prices and if the prices are competitive in Dublin, I will definitely buy here. But if they aren’t, then it is my civic duty to spend my hard earned money elsewhere!!
Speaking of Dublin City Council: Have you heard that Brown Thomas in Grafton Street was told by Dublin City that the Christmas Music which they emitted at the front of the shop has to be switched off because it is noise pollution (www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/1122/1227293431700.html)?? Is that the same Dublin City that got the Christmas lights in O’Connell Street switched on 3 weeks earlier to get people earlier in the festive shopping mood (www.rte.ie/news/2008/1109/dublin.html)?? Do they want a nice Christmas atmosphere or not? I am puzzled!
—————–
I hope you have enjoyed the Event Guide again this week and PLEASE PLEASE tell all your friends and family and colleagues about it. The amount of competitions and the comprehensive information about free events is directly related to the strength of the Dublin Event Guide Community. The more people read the Dublin Event Guide the more we are heard and thought of when it comes to sending event announcements to me. So your help is needed!
Enjoy the weekend!
