Running of the Bulls - San Fermin en Nueva Orleans - Interactive ZOOM Party on 7/11!
John Dunlop
Virtual Fiesta! Where? Comfort of your own home or venue of choice! When? Saturday July 11, 9:30am NOLA time, 7:30am L.A. time! On Saturday July 11th, 2020 all are invited to join the team as they present a way to revel with the friends they normally see each year, but cannot due to the virus.
We're working to bring as much "normal" entertainment as we can. The Reverend Psych Ward will be your host from Amish Country and Los Pastores will be in New Orleans (finally able to join the party rather than running around like mad). We'll bounce around to some of our favorite fans' parties, have some live entertainment pop in, and of course we'll have our RollerBulls!!!
Here's the plan. Find a host, or be the host. Register for your ZOOM access code to join the interactive party. Invite your friends, or enemies, let's use this however it best suits us. Blend up your sangria, get dressed in your finest San Fermin attire and get together the morning of July 11th. You can start as early as you like, we wont judge! We'll open the virtual doors at 9:30am central time. Why so late? Well we wanted our West Coast friends to be able to get up at a decent hour, it is only fair. Don't get used to it locals, we go back to crack o dawn in 2021.
The access code is $20, good for the host plus 1...that's $10/head. We ask that your guests chip in too and are asking the same. They can send via PayPal to merchandise@nolabulls.com...this is on the honor system! We'd love to be able to donate a little to our friends this year and hope that you will join and support us!

Save Our Stages! Independent Live Music Venues Need Our Help!
John Dunlop
National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) has a mission to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent live music venues and promoters in the United States. These entertainment hubs are critical to their local economies and tax bases as employers, tourism destinations, and revenue generators for neighboring businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and retail. Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open. The economic recovery process will extend past just reopening the front doors, requiring solutions unique to the industry.
Your voice matters — Tell your legislators to save independent music venues! It only takes a minute to have a significant impact on the music of your city! Click on #SAVE OUR STAGES to help. Thank you for your support!
