THE BALDE X FEST
On the 27th of June, Arteleku plays host to a bit of a party to present this issue. For your pleasure we've organised a concert by Miztura and the Eremuak spectacle. There'll also be a guided tour to the Fanzine Library for those of you who come along. Later on, Boomshakamakalaka!!! Then there's loads of dancing and carry-on with DJ Makala in Etxekalte... everything Thebalde (for free) of course...
INDEPENDENT MEDIA CENTER
You really should know this lot by now. If you don't, the Independent Media Center is a must in these times of blatant media manipulation.

And, as always happens, everybody else apart from these two democratic computer giants believes in some halfway-between formula that still hasn't been invented.
JACKASS THE MOVIE
Burn your arse in a fire, snort up a line of pepper, box with a professional boxer... that's what it takes to become a Jackass. Jackass the Movie: Johnny Knoxville and his buddies in skater video style get up to shit you just wouldn't believe. Look at this Jackass recipe if you don't believe me: eat an onion, follow that with a potato and finally a raw egg. Puke it all back up into a frying pan and fry up an omelette to share with your mates. Welcome to the world of Jackass.
