Festival won’t be fenced by borders
Eating contests and barf buckets go hand in hand.
It’s not often a movie with a sophisticated social conscience features the hero using a man’s intestine as a rope to rappel down a wall. So let’s say “Machete” is not a typical movie.

A new production company is in town, and they’ve got the basement all ready for you. Firehydrant Records was founded last year by local music fan Sean Smock with help from The Big Spank singer/guitarist Mike Garcia. Their goal is “to provide resources to money-starved musicians (and) to give opportunities to the amazing talent we have in our city.” And all of this is done from Smock’s basement, where the recording studio is located.
Editor’s note: The opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author. Our immigration policy is a mess. I know this because I’ve seen its effects first hand. The Cross-Border Issues Group, a journalism program at UNM, travels every summer to Mexico and Central America to study, well, cross-border issues – that is to say, immigration. One thing is made clear to everyone who travels with the group: The current immigration policy in the United States constitutes a horrible violation of human rights. Every single day, people are killed trying to enter our country. Their only crime was searching for an honest job. Many come to our country fleeing violence spread by narco-traffickers and gangsters.

Names have been changed to protect street preachers, public urinators, country-music fans and the occasional innocent, but all the content is real.
Digital Analog Production, the class that built the hanging pods late last spring near the Duck Pond, is back with a project that lights up Central Avenue at night.
By the time you come back from Oventic, your back will ache to sleep on a real bed, instead of a board. You will be covered in mud and your skin will itch for a hot shower. It’s likely you will be dying to get out of the rain and the cold, especially if you´re a New Mexico desert rat. And you will be a better person for it.

They come by the thousands from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador, fleeing poverty, hunger, violence and oppression. They come sin papeles, indocumentado, ilegal, dozens of people at a time on top of a train car. And when the train approaches a border checkpoint, they jump off the moving train.
