I love it...how awesome is this? The Big Easy Rollergirls are going to be the guest "bulls" tomorrow morning in the first ever "San Fermin in Nueva Orleans". The event is taking place on the same day as the infamous running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain and is meant to replicate it here in NOLA, in our own unique style.

The BERG "bulls" will have horns on their helmets and they'll be racing after runners and attempting to smack them with their wiffle ball bats. If you want to join in the fun, just head to The Three Legged Dog Bar in the French Quarter (400 Burgundy, corner of Conti) tomorrow morning, Saturday July 7th, at 7am. Come dressed in white, with a red cloth tied around your neck and waist, and get ready to run for your life at 8am. The route is short (there's a map at their blog), and there will be a block party to follow with plenty of music, Spanish wines and Sangria. This sounds like a total blast! A great weekend alternative if the Essence Fest activities aren't your cup of tea.
