Event Details
The 13th Annual Running of the Bulls at San Fermin in Nueva Orleans (SFNO) is the city’s most incredible Summer Spectacle! Join thousands of runners as they roam the streets of New Orleans and party with hundreds of RollerBulls (roller derby skaters with horns on their helmets and plastic bats in their hands) from around the globe during the Encierro.
Saturday morning – Encierro and Post Encierro Fiesta presented by Port Orleans Brewing Company: SFNO revelers begin gathering near the starting line during the wee hours of Friday night. But the crowd builds in earnest at 6:30 AM when the festival bars open. The Procession of San Fermin kicks off the morning and an invocation preceeds the Running of the Bulls at 8 AM SHARP! This is a ticketed only event. There will be live music, beer, sangria and food trucks on site! Please know that supporting the event is only possible by registering and joining the official party.

AUDIEN
Live at the Metropolitan
Friday, August 23, 2019
Tickets on-sale now!
Coming from Mystic, Connecticut, Audien (born Nathaniel Rathbun, 1992) began producing music as a teenager and gradually took his piano-driven hands-in-the-air progressive trance sound to the top of the Billboard dance charts, selling out major venues and headlining numerous EDM festivals along the way. Rathbun started creating tracks in 2008, initially releasing happy hardcore on Only Vibes Recordings, a digital label he co-founded with producer Naggy. Rathbun switched to trance in 2009, with numerous singles following on labels like Songbird, First State Music, Enhanced Progressive, and Perceptive Deep, and leading progressive house DJs such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren began to take notice of Audien’s euphoric sound. In 2014 Rathbun remixed Michael Jackson’s “Slave to the Rhythm” and Bastille’s “Pompeii,” the latter of which was heavily played at many clubs and festivals and was eventually nominated for a Grammy for “Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical.” In 2015, Audien signed to Astralwerks. The label promptly released “Insomnia,” which topped Billboard’s dance music chart. This was followed by the release of “Something Better,” a collaboration with country superstars Lady Antebellum. Three more major singles followed, “Crazy Love” (featuring Deb’s Daughter) in 2016, “One More Weekend” (with MAX), and “Hot Water” with 3LAU in 2017. ~ Paul Simpson

Join us on August 24th 2019 6:00pm- 8:00pm for “Introduction to Tarot and Kabbalah: The Tree of Life” by J.P
In this class, J.P. will present an introduction to the relationship between Tarot and Kabbalah with a focus on the Tree of Life. As the central structure in Kabbalah, the Tree of Life describes how energy flows from its divine source to our material world and back again. In turn, the ten spheres of the Tree of Life reflect the energies and symbolism of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot. We will also discuss how the twenty-two Major Arcana cards of Tarot correspond to the paths between the spheres in the Tree of Life. Taken as a whole, the spheres and paths of the Tree of Life provide a simple yet endlessly comprehensive foundation for a better understanding of Tarot meaning and symbolism. The class is appropriate for both beginning and intermediate students of Tarot. No previous knowledge of Tarot or Kabbalah is required.
