Running with the bulls bar crawl and a pajama party

I can't decide if I want to run with the bulls in Spain. It seems like scary (really scary fun), but Charlotte's bull run bar crawl might be the safest version. It'll be fun, and so will be the music and beer festivals this weekend. See you in the streets. Let's get this party started.
