Banksy caught on action?
Fans are not sure if this camera phone photo is real and Banky's spokesman declined to say he is the man in this picture that shows his latest work on the side of a building in Bethnal Green, East London. It would be cool to talk to Banksy in person, but keep seeing his work invading the world is enough for us. The World According Banksy

Melomanos y Coleccionistas Salseros
Some weeks ago we got a bulletin from Spam All Stars about the First Reunion of Salsa Music Colectors in Florida. Music from 65 and 75, Conjunto Universal performing live (we never heard this band before, but they throw a great set of classic salsa hits), Izzie Sanabria aka "Mr. Salsa" and Andy Harlow among the special guests. So, we decided to go and salsabadear for a while.

World Car-Free Day
Every September 22, people across the globe get together to swear off their cars - if only for one day - in a collective reminder that we don't have to accept car-dominated societies, cities, or personal lives. Since its earliest incarnations in the 1970s and '80s, WORLD CAR-FREE DAY has grown into a massive global celebration of human-centric communities and people-powered transportation.
Car-Free Day 2007 could turn out to be the biggest yet. For the first time, China's government is hopping on board, with official events talking place in more than 100 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai. Officials will reportedly be trading in their famed black sedans for public transportation, and some roads will be closed to private cars.
As the world tunes in to the fact that the climate is heating up, this is the perfect opportunity to take the heat off the planet, and put it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and public transport, instead of oil-hungry automobiles.
