We need to do this version of the running of the bulls and we need to do it yesterday. Hampden Hill would be perfect!
Something to fill the void in the off Fiesta months when we’re missing our beloved Greasy Pole. Or maybe we could set it up for this Friday’s block party. Start out at the intersection of Middle and Hancock and let it demolish people all the way down to I4C2.
Telegraph– A Spanish village’s attempt to invent a “cruelty-free” version of bull-running by replacing the animals with giant balls has ended in tragedy after two people were seriously injured.
One man was left in a coma after sustaining a serious head injury when he was crushed against metal barriers by the 300-kilogramme resin ball which chased runners around the town of Mataelpino, near Madrid during the event over the weekend.
Another man suffered three broken ribs and concussion.
The mayor of Mataelpino, whose idea of substituting in the balls – painted with bull’s faces – seven years ago has been emulated by other Spanish towns, has said the council will review its safety protocols before next year’s event.
Good times!

Wednesday, August 30 – 7pm
THE RHUMB LINE
40 Railroad Avenue
Gloucester, MA
My Special Guests: DOWN HOME SWING!
Such a treat for us all to have Downhome Swing as our Rhumb Line music guests… for so many reasons. First off, the level of musicianship is totally off the charts. Marston by himself is a treasure. Add that Laurie and Ellen have such a natural vocal blend, you’d swear they were sisters! And… we of course must take full advantage of the limited time we have each year with the Keefes before they head back to St. John. Yes, we are lucky! ~ Fly
