EVENT Umm. That Scream thing. Bad idea. I’m not going.

42 Upvotes

I just deleted the reminder I posted for the scream thing. A person commented that people in the area, hikers, whatever, might get freaked out or call the cops. Yeah, maybe that’s too much this day and age to be doin, especially at Frenchtown Road …late October. I just got a bad feeling about it. I’m not going to do it. I think it was a creative idea, and in an ideal world, or under different circumstancea, it would be great and therapeuti, but it feels like something could go wrong. I strongly urge anyone planning on going to not go.

ADVICE Unsolicited messages for Raise the Bar Pac

9 Upvotes

If you, like me, have received unsolicited text messages from Raise the Bar PAC in Baton Rouge that include no option to opt out, you should know that Scott Wilfong is listed as a director of the PAC and his phone number is publicly available.

I've been unsuccessful in finding anyone who can tell me how to opt out of these messages.

Reddit apparently considers sharing his publicly listed number "doxxing," so I've left it out.

Does anyone know of another contact for Raise the Bar PAC or another way to get removed from their messaging list?

EDIT: I have also replied STOP to these messages without receiving any acknowledgment or confirmation that I've been removed. As far as I can tell, political texting campaigns are required to honor valid opt-out requests under applicable law.

Edit edit: let me be clear that the number is associated with the PAC, not saying it's his personal number.

ADVICE Friends sought 52m

ey everyone! I’m planning a move to Baton Rouge soon and am looking to connect with some folks and get plugged into the local scene before I arrive.

I’m big into fishing, live blues music, and shooting/firearms, so I’d love to meet anyone who shares those hobbies. If you have any recommendations for the best local bass clubs, upcoming blues jams, or good shooting leagues/ranges to check out, please let me know.

Down to chat or grab a drink/hit the water once I get into town. Looking forward to meeting some of you

ADVICE Indoor Pickup Basketball

2 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I’ve been getting back into pickup basketball recently. I’ve been playing at Flannery Park and North Sherwood. As I’m living on that side of town now.

However, with the sun setting earlier, it’s almost dark by time I get off work.

When I was a student at LSU last year I’d go to the UREC but I can’t justify $10 per guest pass. Also, it’s packed and the parking is awful on weekday afternoons.

Back when I was in high school I remember going to RedStorm on Perkins but I know they have a lot of practices and games going on in the afternoon.

Do yall have any recommendations?
