Like too many cats and dogs in Nicaragua, Office Kitty’s life started off hard. When Flor rescued the little orange furball and brought him to the office, he was undersized, undernourished, unwanted and covered in dirt and fleas. We cleaned him up and tried to come up with a name, KittyZompopo and Handsome Tiger were some early options, but finally we settled on Office Kitty. I’m not sure what kind of things Kitty went through before he found us, but as he grew older he was always kind of a mean little bastard, but that was just Kitty. He played rough, because his life was rough. But we always loved him because he was our mean little bastard.

Kitty had always been mischievous, but when the Hecho office moved to its current location in Los Robles, he started getting in to more trouble than usual. The neighborhood cats didn’t take kindly to the new kid on the block. One day we found him covered in blood with scratches so deep on his head someone’s first reaction was “Oh my God, you can practically see his brain!” We got him all patched up and he was healing fine, but a few days later he showed up again with fresh wounds joining the old ones that had been ripped back open. We tried to keep him inside, but Kitty had always been stubborn, too independent for his own good.

As time went by, the fights died down, but we started to notice that he was losing a lot of weight. He would only eat his food if someone was watching him (or if it was chicken from On The Run…) and he barely drank any water. After the vet again, Kitty came home and just sat on a shelf in the bathroom and wouldn’t move, wouldn’t eat, wouldn’t do anything. He was taken to the vet one last time and kept overnight, but in the morning he passed away. Poor guy. Even though he was an asshole a lot of the time, peed on all of our beds (multiple times in some cases) and scratched everyone who petted him, Office Kitty will be missed. He was one of those family members who was far from perfect, but at the end of the day, despite all his fucked up idiosyncrasies, he was family and he was loved. Rest in peace, Kitty.

We’ve had so much fun throwing our issue release parties that we decided to double the pleasure, double the bacanal by adding a pre-release party to the mix. For issue 07 we will be hosting two events featuring four of the country’s best bands and our very own resident DJ.

Saturday, September 4th at The Reef (9pm C$60), Hecho is proud to present the new band, Espiral, a group that combines live instrumentation with sampled grooves and a dose of hip hop. Come check out the rookies and then get ready for the veterans to put it down, as Milly Majuc step in to show everybody that when it comes to their place in the Nica rock game, they are sounding better than ever. Hecho’s ‘house’ DJ, Evan Rhodes, will finish off the night with a ton of new mixes and Latin house rhythms.

Thursday September 9th, the official Hecho 07 launch party pops off at Moods (9pm C$150). Monroy & Surmenage (featured in Hecho 03) get things started, with issue 07 cover artists La Cuneta Son Machín headlining the night, and no doubt doing what they do best: getting people up and dancing like freaking maniacs. Evan Rhodes, our very own Mariano Rivera, will be ‘en la mezcla’ once again to close things out, and even premiere a brand new La Cuneta remix he’s been working on.

When Sandy (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a beautiful and intelligent 40 year old woman discovers that her husband betrays her with another person, he moves to New York with her two children to start a new life.

The Rebound is a sexy comedy about an unexpected love story.

The Back-up Plan is a comedy that explores dating, love, marriage and family in reverse.

After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. That same day, Zoe meets Stan (Alex OLoughlin) a man with real possibilities.

Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says hes in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. Or, where date night consists of being the focal point at a near-strangers water birth which does for kiddie pools what Jaws did for swimming in the ocean. The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really dont know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.
