Toiros!

On Saturday is the big bullfight in Madera. I will not be able to go, unfortunately, but I highly recommend it. We always have a good time in Madera, and the bulls are usually pretty good. For pictures of Madera from a couple of years ago, go here for Jared's excellent pictures. There are some good ones in there.

Also, on Monday is the St. Anthony bullfight in Stevinson. If all goes according to schedule, I will be at that one. It should be fun, although it just doesn't seem like the beginning of the season without a bullfight in the hills. There is not going to be one up there until next month or something. Too bad. It is a great early summer ring.

If any of you want directions or more information, you can get in touch with me, or go to bullfights.org and look at the California schedules section. It looks like this is going to be the most complete list again this year (the various Portuguese California sites have been a little spotty in the last few years).

If anyone wants to meat up with me at one of these bullfights, let me know and I will tell you how to find me. I generally have a favorite section in each ring, and can be counted on to be around the linguica stand before the bullfight.
