Just back from Rio and heading out of town again for San Fermin in Nueva Orleans 2012, including the 6th annual Encierro or running of the bulls. Obviously, it's not Mardi Gras, but this is another event on The Rolling Elvi's busy social and performance calendar. Because what's a bull run without Elvis, or "Los Elvidores" in this case?
The route has been moved again this year. The bull run will start at the Sugar Mill across front the convention center, will turn up Poydras, back up Tchoupitoulas, then finish back at the Sugar Mill. Personally, I think having it go through the quarter lends it a more authentic feel, so I'm curious as to the reason for the last minute venue change.
We won't have the benefit of a balcony this year for photography and videography. There are thousands of people who show up to participate, so we'll do our best to find a good spot amid the mass of humanity and at a safe distance from the herds of running bulls!
