The Big Easy Rollergirls embraced Spain’s 41-year rule over New Orleans on Saturday morning with a running of the bulls on Bourbon St. They formed up at 7am on Bourbon.; as some hearty party animals were winding up from the night before. The run started at 8am on the same day as the original Spanish event occurs in Pamplona.
Over a dozen of the Big Easy Rollergirls were guest bulls in the first ever San Fermin in Nueva Orleans on Saturday, July 7th. The rollergirls wore horns on their helmets and wielded wiffle ball bats. The matadors (runners) wore all white with read sashes. The girls hit the runners with their bats as they made their way past the deadly rollergirls! The festivities began at The Three Legged Dog Bar (400 Burgundy) on the corner of Burgundy and Conti in the French Quarter. Spanish Wines were available to enhance “valor” before the run with the "bulls" The run ended at the Sidebar (620 Conti) on the corner of Conti Street and Exchange Alley.
Deep into the summer, New Orleans can be a very strange place.
