Pruebas de laboratorio

Ha finalizado la “Batalla en el Palacio” de Dania Jai-Alai. Una final deslucida, sin juego ni emoción. Han ganado Barandika y Leke porque han cometido menos errores que Olharan y Etcheto que han estado por debajo de su rendimiento habitual. Lo importante es que este torneo se ha celebrado en un contexto atípico. Cuando no hay en funcionamiento fuera del País Vasco ningún frontón tradicional. Y lo ha hecho sin la apuesta de por medio como leitmotiv. Basándose en la asistencia de espectadores, spectator sport, sin otro reclamo que disfrutar del jai-alai como deporte. Continue reading →

How about a fronton in Key West? Steve

Dear old Steve

Let me tell you something, pal. I have bad news for the two of us. I contacted the CEO of Jai Alai News. A real nice guy by the way. I told him about the idea of me going over to Florida for the “Battle” at Dania Jai-Alai. Remember that I talked to you about that in my last letter? Continue reading →

I´ve got a letter from Steve

Dear Steve

How are you doing?

I got your letter today. I checked my e-mail this morning and saw it. I was thinking in writing to tell you about the last partido in Gernika. Yes, the one Arbe and Lopez played against Goikoetxea and Aimar.

Let me tell you something, Steve

My dear friend
How are you doing, pal? I got your letter back. I was so glad to hear from you. I know that you are not in Tweeter, Facebook or things like that, so I wasn’t sure if I would reach you with my letter. I did!
I´m sorry about the weather down there if it’s not as hot as you like. Don’t worry. Spring will soon arrive and summers hell too. So you can get your bicycle and go riding through Dania Beach boardwalk , and on your way back you can stop at Dania Casino and talk with Benny. Because according to what you say, you haven’t seen him since Dania closed. Continue reading →

I promised you that I would write you as soon as I was back in the Basque. Well, here I am. It´s been a while, but I´m ready to roll. Continue reading →
