RUNNING OF THE BULLS IN NEW ORLEANS!!!  SECOND ANNUAL:  Many Americans dream of laying their bravado on the line in Pamplona, Spain by participating in the famed encierros of Sanfermines.  Most Americans never get there!  Why?  Probably because they can’t take that much time or spend that much money.  Maybe it’s because their spouse or mom won’t let them!  Well, now they can get as close to that experience as possible, right here in New Orleans.

The second annual San Fermin in Nueva Orleans (SFNO) will commence at precisely 8AM, as in Pamplona, at the corner of Conti and Burgundy in the famous French Quarter.  After gathering at the Three Legged Dog bar for instructions, the bulls, in this case played by 30 of the beautiful, yet equally imposing Big Easy Roller Girls, will be unleashed upon the corredores (runners).  While death is highly unlikely, there’s always the threat of being battered by a waffle ball bat, or spraining an ankle!  Either way, it will be “run at your own risk.”  This year’s turnout is sure to be more than the nearly 200 participants at El Primero Encierro 07-07-07 (The First Running of the Bulls).

After the encierro the SFNO festival continues at the Gazebo Café, located at 1018 Decatur Street.  Tapas style food, Marques de Caceres Spanish wine, Miller High Life beer, and Old New Orleans Rum drinks will be on-hand for all to enjoy along with the DJs and live music, all put together by Nola Bulls.  For more information, visit www.nolabulls.com.
