SONAR 2008: See You in Barcelona!
By Gary Pini
One of the best summer music festivals doesn't involve outdoor camping or slogging through the mud. In fact, Barcelona's SONAR ( June 19, 20 & 21) is held at the city's Museum of Contemporary Art during the day and at night in a gigantic convention center with five stages, an indoor carnival, numerous bars and clean bathrooms. Now in it's 15th year, SONAR is more about artists and music that you've probably never heard of rather than headliners and superstars, yet it still draws over 70,000 people every year. Yes, you can see Justice, the reunited Yazoo, M.I.A. and Richie Hawtin but you'll also find hundreds of new acts and DJs like The Dukos, Neon Neon, XX Teens, Doozer, The Field, etc. And New Yorkers have an extra incentive to attend this year: American Airlines has started direct flights from JFK to BCN. See you there.
Each year, Sonar has a visual theme. Check out this year's, pictured above.

Little Royal Nippers!
By Mickey Boardman
You MMBloggers know that Mr. Mickey loves keeping track of the next generation of royals. Here is a cute shot from Barcelona of little Irene & Carlos. Irene is the youngest child (and only daughter) of the Duchess of Palma de Mallorca and Carlos is the son of Princess Alexia of Greece ( a first cousin and BFF of the Duchess of Palma). Alexia is about to give birth to her fourth child. These royals are having big families these days!!!
