Indie music

Hi, all Independent Movie Lovers. You are invited meet at 7 pm, on Friday the 20th of March. This meeting is at the Café on the ground floor of the Light House Cinema, Smithfield Square, Dublin. We will discuss the film: **Sound of Falling** (2025), directed by Mascha Schilinski. The original German title is 'In die Sonne schauen'. The film chronicles events at a remote German farm in four time periods. We will also discuss: **Auntie Mame** (1958), directed by Morton DaCosta. Auntie Mame is an adaptation of a successful 1956 Broadway play of the same name, and stars Rosalind Russell, who also starred in the stage version. This is the 1958 movie, not the 1974 musical movie called 'Mame'. We will watch the movies independently, and meet for discussion on Friday the 20th of March, at 7 pm, at the Café on the ground floor of the Light House Cinema, Smithfield Square. **Sound of Falling** is showing at Light House Cinema Smithfield, and at the IFI Eustace St, until Thursday the 12th of March. **Auntie Mame** is currently available free on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl5S8vXNyiI Take the opportunity while it lasts. It is available for online rental on Sky Store and Prime Video, and, oddly enough, on YouTube. Michael Sheeran

**[Early Bird Discount](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pub-crawl-tickets-1982511768066?discount=Meetup&keep_tld=true)** ### ✨ What Is the Social Pub Crawl? A relaxed and social pub crawl designed to help people connect naturally while enjoying a night out in Dublin. This is **not a massive party crawl** and not a tourist tour. It’s a friendly, international experience where drinks, short social games and good conversations come together in an easy and natural way. Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group. ### 🍻 How It Works We’ll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30–40 minutes in each one**. At every stop, the organizer will run a **short and simple social activity**. These games are designed to: * Break the ice naturally * Help people interact without pressure * Work well in busy, noisy pubs Between activities, there’s plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. 🏆 In each activity, points are awarded to several participants. At the end of the night, **the 3 people with the most points win a free drink**. ### 🍀 Who Is This Event For? Absolutely everyone. New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people — all are welcome. You don’t need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be “good at games”. The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way. ### 💬 A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going. Come alone or with friends — you’ll feel comfortable from the very beginning. To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**. ### 🕕 Practical Details • **Time:** 19:00 – 22:30 • **Group size:** Limited • **Location:** In front of the Odeon!

# **Band and caller TBA** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Kevin Rhodus from Lucy Deep Park Northside is coming to talk to us about his extensive neighborhood Christmas light display that is open in November and December every year north of Dublin. 9 houses over 12 acres and over 120,000 individual controlled lights that sync to music which you can tune into on your radio! Quite impressive! https://ldplights.com/ We'll dive into the tech that runs the show -- should be a blast to hear about this very elaborate display! While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Dublin Library in the Meeting Room 2

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
