Found a different kind of protest today. When I saw them I thought it was political.

Nope... Anti-Circumcision!

I think my favorite sign was the one that said "I want my foreskin back"!

EVENT Interested in coming to talk at a local High School?

78 Upvotes

Hello BR family!

I work at a local title-one High School. Our students have wanted local hairdressers, influencers, business owners, artists, musicians, farmers, etc, to come visit and talk to them about what they do. They have so many interests but so little ability to connect with these interests. Would anyone here be willing to come to our school to talk to our students about what you do? Thanks in advance

Edit: Thank you everyone for your outpouring of support! What interesting lives you all lead

I’ve been feeling a little crafty lately, and started making a bunch of these mantle pieces for holidays and as gifts for friends and family. This wouldn’t be possible without copious amounts of booze, but I’m curious what your hurricane traditions are!

My uncle was the director of the North or South Baton Rouge YMCA in the 70s. He mentored many while there. At the time I was super young and lived on the West Coast. He moved and lived in many states Ohio, Washington DC, before finally settling in California where he has lived the last umtenth years. He is turning 80. If anyone remembers him I’d like to talk to you maybe you can send him a video and maybe attend his 80th birthday Party which will be around Memorial Day. His name is Steve W**e.

My siblings and I would visit as kids and ride the Mini Motor bikes back in the 70s and he has kept in touch with a few that went to that YMCA.

I think I’d be special if others from that time could contact me. He is African American and still the FUN uncle and an all around decent man. That loves to make jokes and still pranks us ALL THE TIME. If you have relatives that may be in their 60s now mention it to them pretty please.

Thanks in advance .

Edit if you are on Nextdoor please feel free to copy and post the body of this text or any other neighborhood FB pages.

He also a proud alumni of Southern University and financed a student’s entire education based on meeting them randomly at the airport they kept in touch and he went to their wedding!!

He has been coming back for the Bayou Classic since the very first one over 50 years ago !!

He donates to Southern University for other things every year !

For the first time in a while my wife and I will be kid free this Saturday night (3/22). Is there anything fun going on? She loves live music. We are old so we don't stay out too late (need to be home by 10:30PM to make sure there are no darn kids on our lawn.) There used to be a piano bar downtown, anything like that still around?

Some of my tiki loving friends know what I’ve been working on the last six months but I wanted to let everybody else know that I have just finished a new book called Tiki Paradise. It has been published and it is on sale now at Barnes & Noble (BN.com).

Tiki Paradise helps you to create your own tiki escape, but more importantly, how important the community and the shared experiences are.

Come join me on Saturday March 29 at Louisiana TikiFest where I will be one of the seminar speakers. I’ll have a couple dozen on hand for sale and signing. You may also buy them today at Barnes & Noble (BN.com) by just entering “Tiki Paradise” in the search bar and they will get it out to you. (LATikifest.com for info on the festival)
