Belltown's Running of the Bulls

Gored_Final.jpgIn Pamplona this week, they're celebrating the festival of St. Fermin. The most famous event, the encierro, played a central role in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises: the so-called "running of the bulls" through a narrow, 825-meter passage of narrow streets.

YouTube has video of last year's event in Spain; no doubt there will be more images later today.

And tonight, in Seattle, our own running of the "bulls" in Belltown. Starting point is the alley between 1st and Second, at Battery; finish line is the new deck behind Txori. "Bulls" provided by several local restaurants, mounted on shopping carts. If you want to be authentic, wear white pants and a red sash around your waist.
