SanSelfie

Celebra con Mr Testis Sanfermin

Buy your Sanselfie before Sanfermin here

It seemed that it was never going to come, but this Friday, 6th of June, is finally the penultimate step in the stepladder to the fiestas. And although you may not believe it, Mr. Testis, the blue bull from Kukuxumusu is going to be seen this afternoon from 17.00 p.m. at Estafeta Street, no. 76 in Pamplona (probably with a hangover, but still, he’ll be there) in order to celebrate with the public this last step before Sanfermin fiestas take off.

Anyone who wishes can have their photos taken with him or without him. Don’t miss it, especially as Mr. Testis seems particularly docile today and so we can’t miss the opportunity…
The fun-loving bull will be at the Kukuxumusu Store located at Estafeta 76. And, as we are always considerate with our public, you can take the opportunity of taking a #SanSelfie with him and use it to enter our competition. A T-shirt from the latest Sanfermin 2014 Collection will be given away each week until next 25th of July. . Check out the competition rules here.

STAMPEDE RUN, app of the week by apple itunes

Un juego sobre el encierro destacado como app de la semana en Itunes

This week Apple has highlighted the game Stampede Run as its free app in ITunes. This game was presented a year ago under the title Running with friends and now in its free version it changes its name and remain as a pay item in the HD version for large formats. The game is the same and it has been developed by Zynga, the world’s leading firm in games for social networks. This firm is the creator of Farm Ville and of the network With Friends to which the earlier version has now been united. The game consists in running the bulls in Pamplona and to compete against a multitude of other users. In 2013 it received an award from App Store in the category of Multiplayer, a recognition of its game potential in this aspect that it maintains in its current free version.

Sanfermin bajo el agua

World day for the Environment will be celebrated on the 5th of June. And to create awareness of the reality of the situation in the face of the passive attitude shown by many, the crowdfunding platform Carbon Story which works on environmental projects will allow any locations found in Google Street view to be flooded on this day. From the website WorldUnderWater you can flood whatever you like and we have wished to make our contribution by using this system and flooding the three Sanfermin locations which might attract the most attention, City Hall Square, Mercaderes Corner and the Bullring.

The Sanfermin Starfetos

Ya falta Menos para la fiesta y nuevos Starfetos se suman al planeta de la juerga

Ya faltan solo dos meses para que estalle la fiesta y os presentamos cinco miembros más de la familia de Los Starfetos. Estos dibujos son pulgas digitales que se mueven entre pantallas como pez en el agua, aunque el agua la llevan muy mal y prefieren el kalimotxo con electrones. Si te pican te contagian la fiesta y sólo los puedes atrapar en dos dimensiones. Hemos cogido unos cuantos en estas camisetas de Kukuxumusu que te guiarán al planeta de la juerga. Consigue la camiseta con todos los Starfetos a través de la venta exclusiva online HOY por 19,5 euros cada una. Blanca o negra, el yin y el yang de la juerga, a dos meses de que estalle la mayor fiesta del mundo.

Rebolu
Es Antisistema. Al ver una algarada confunde el Encierro con una manifestación antiglobalización. A veces termina a pedradas con los cabestros.

Machano
Ciudadano de la fiesta que tiene la mala costumbre de colarse pedo en el Encierro y dar esquinazo a la policía. Un peligro para el resto de corredores, pero él siempre sobrevive.

Runningway
Yanki fiel seguidor de Hemingway. Vive ‘La Fiesta’ al pie de la letra: corre en Santo Domingo tuneado con faja y periódico, ¡y una gorra! Bebe vino en bota, come churros de la Mañueta y escribe su best seller desde una terraza del café Iruña.

Kilika
Nacida en Irún, adoptada por la ciudad, mujer de peña, corre el encierro todos los días y luego se convierte en Kiliki. No se pierde ni una tarde de toros al sol ni las actividades culturales de día.

Destrangis
Chica inquieta, discreta, solitaria y muy puesta, viene de la costa. Alguna vez se mete en el encierro por error y cree que está en una estampida de búfalos en África o viendo una película de las Olimpiadas en 3D.

Estos se unen a los primeros miembros de The Starfetos Familiy que son Fermintxo, Jumpix, Runningway, Kointreau y Rebolu. Llegarán más próximamente.

There is also running of the bulls for childrens

Today, the third consecutive kiddies running of the bulls took place with the Kukuxumusu blue bulls. Mister Testis and his bullmates left the “pens” located at the Kukuxumusu-Sanfermin.com store in Mercaderes Street and and they covered the course along with the kiddies and their parents to up as far as the Kukuxumusu store in Estafeta Street.

There were no mishaps nor any gorings, but the kiddies had a great time of it and they really enjoyed emulating the adults.

Jean-Louis Douenne, Guiri of Sanfermin 2013

The Frenchman, Jean-Louis Douenne, was today given the X Guiri de Sanfermin Award, which is annually bestowed by Kukuxumusu to some long-standing foreign visitor or other who comes to Sanfermin. The firm aims in this way to give recognition to the contribution of the visitors to the fiestas which they live with a passion and intensity every bit as strong as the local people do.

Kukuxumusu propone para su camiseta de Sanfermin 2013 un toro optimista ante la adversidad

A bull which is slipping up on the Mercaderes corner but that still has time to give a friendly wave is the main personality of the Kukuxumusu special tee shirt for Sanfermin 2013. This same drawing has also been used as a graphic image for the RTVE state television channel.  The drawing sends out an optimistic message and has a special appeal in these trying times that we are going through.

“This is a low-angle shot of the Mercaderes corner,a classic sanfermin photo spot, where one of the bulls is slipping up and is losing its posture but before it crashes to the ground it manages to make a friendly wave”, explains Mikel Urmeneta, creative director at Kukuxumusu. The rest of the running of the bulls is going on behind but with an impossible perspective in that we can see such iconic buildings as San Cernin church and City Hall. There are also some cute acknowledgements being made in the drawing to some current social events such as the person in disguise who is slipping an envelope into a “crack” ; San Fermín taking a snapshot of himself with the Ecce Homo de Borja; the Gangnam Style or the stratospheric jump made by Felix Baumgartner.
