These sources are not as truthworthy as the Bugle, of course. Nevertheless, you might find them intriguing.

Official Dublin Events Website: An almost overwhelming list of events from the Dublin Tourist Office. Mostly mainstream, tourist-y stuff.
TimeOut Dublin: So far, the Dublin edition doesn't seem quite up to par with the Chicago version. But their website provides a fair amount of free information.

Silly tourist, you missed the fun!
