Hey yeah, if you didn’t know, now is the festival of San Fermin (the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain). It’s a big 11 day party where each morning about 8 am a bunch of bulls are released into the streets of Pamplona and run up to the bull fighting arena. Where, well, it’s a one way trip. And those mad Spaniards love it.

Latest from the G8 Summit in Japan

Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon meets Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Singh is an economists and a Sikh. Sikhs don’t cut their hair. They wind it up on their head and wrap a turban around it. Singh is viewed as being very weak and controlled by the Congress party which in turn is controlled by Sonia Gandi (Rajiv Gandi’s widow).

RISE UP – Night of Gratitude

Yeah a fine night was had at the new Poet House on Friday May 9th, 2008. RISE UP held a evening of thanks and gratitude for……………well for everyone and everything. The art space at the Poet House loft / art sudio / jungle room got a work out.

Robert was MC for the event. There were displays of RISE UP projects in Nicaragua, China, and India and some small speeches. But mostly people were imbibing and mingling. And of course, later, the the turntables got fired up. Ron impressed us all with some free form Rap and there was one member of the junior break dance team busting it out. Yet another successful event. Thanks to All

Cheers.
