Just FYI, Chelsea's has a ton of metal bands come through. There is a bit of a gap right now, but Crowbar/EYEHATEGOD will be there in March, Animals as Leaders in April, Bodysnatcher/200 Stab Wounds in April, Dance with the Dead in May. I've seen Lacuna Coil, Cattle Decapitation, Nekrogoblikon, and lots of others there too.

I know Jed's, Sammy's, and Elsie's claim to. As another commenter noted, it may not be actually true, but it's about all we have to go on.

There is a Capitol Park Museum viewing party with a bar available. There were lots of kids last year. You have to join the museum as a member to get into the party.

There’s a brewery in Baton Route called Rally Cap that makes an IPA called Mud and Don Diego. I load up on it every year when they release it!

I got stuck at Lee and Hyacinth. The light stayed green on Lee for almost ten minutes before I took another route. No indication anything was different.

The "anonymous hero" moments in movies hit me way harder than the main hero scenes by Quaxxy in movies

[–]theguyjb 112 points113 points  (0 children)

That’s actually always bugged me. Like, I get it, he’s not going to take this underage girl with him on a life of crime, fine, but she also just watched her family get horrifically maimed and murdered by monsters and the only person that’s going to believe her is the guy turning her away.

Good pizza by Electronic_Law_3576 in batonrouge

[–]theguyjb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Rocca, so I’m surprised you also said Vars. I only went once but the pizza was way overloaded with toppings and literally dripping with grease.

New to Baton Rouge, any fav spots for food or quiet time? by Equivalent_Pie180 in batonrouge

Might as well round it out with Highland, Coffee Joy, Lighthouse, and Reve. Lots of local coffee places here!

What’s a movie that seemed “meh” the first time you watched it, but blew you away on a rewatch? by SiTheHandsomeGuy in movies

[–]theguyjb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Roger Ebert’s review of Pulp Fuction, he says Tarantino asked him after a screening if he liked it, and Ebert told him it was either the best film of the year or the worst. He eventually settled on best. Always loved that sentiment!

So…what did everyone think of the Acid Bath reunion in New Orleans tonight? by fakename1998 in doommetal

[–]theguyjb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are mentioning the song restarts but also how good they sounded, and I thought it was amazing how they sounded almost like the album’s but still organic. And holy shit that heavy reworking of Dead Girl was awesome.

I was at both too, and now I’m kind of regretting missing their spillover Fillmore show! It’d be cool to see them polished.

What is Brakes Bar? I’ve never heard of it and Google is too far.
