It's the running of the bulls, New Orleans style.

Hundreds of men, women and children, most in white with red scarves around their waists and
red bandannas around their necks, gathered outside a French Quarter bar Saturday morning to
be chased down Bourbon Street by members of New Orleans' roller derby league.

"Roller skates and a stampede through the Quarter — what could possibly go wrong?" said accountant Jason Medonia.

The run, in its second year, featured 33 roller girls in horned helmets from teams with names like
Confederacy of Punches and Crescent Wenches.

This year's crowd included Russ Schlievert, who came from Montana to help rebuild
after Hurricane Katrina and loved the city so much he and his wife retired here.


Schlievert said this will be the first year he hasn't been at the "Running of the Sheep"
in little Reed Point, Mont. - an event he organized in 1989 as a spoof of the
"Great Montana Cattle Drive" in Billings.
It now draws 12,000 to 15,000 people a year to watch 1,000 to 3,000 real sheep run down Main Street.

Talk about hitting on people...
