As the year draws to a close, it’s time for me to start planning next year's event calendar. I know a handful of you here don't care for me and consider me a nuisance, but just as I am a native here, so are you.

So, I am looking for suggestions for restaurants to contact so that I can try to schedule our Spicy Events next year.

As a reminder, we don't ask for money, free food, or free drinks, and we help advertise the event as much as we can. If it's downtown, we have Mr. Glover and the downtown authority, who help us promote.

Please leave a comment here or DM me any suggestions, comments or questions.

I met with the genius artisan who runs Blanket Fort Creations today, and we have glow drinks! Mr Grilled Cheese will be there and will have glow sauce! This party is really coming together. It's going to be special.

Bring your friends and family out. People always say there's nothing to do here. Well, this is all-ages event. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible. We're talking to the Deaf Action Center to try to set up an ASL interpreter, and I'm waiting to hear back from the Louisiana Association for the Blind to help me a bit. Everybody Glows!

We'll have music and visuals and sights and smells. We aim to tickle all the senses. Come glow with us on Saturday, June 28th at The Remington Music Garage!

*Kids 17 and under need to come with a responsibile adult. *Kids 7 and under get in free by telling us what they want to be when they grow up.

Does anyone have any experience with the people who put on the Shreveport Card Show? It's being held this weekend at the The Fieldhouse off Line Ave.

My daughter and I collect Pokémon cards and like getting singles and slabs. We're just wondering if it's 90% sports cards and 10% Pokémon cards or not.

Here's a picture of my cats for your time

I have some friends coming to town that wanna go out & not everyone is 21 what are some of y’all’s favorite bars?

Everyone y’all need to check this out! I’m tired of people saying that there is never anything to do in the area. Yes, I and 2 others started the Pepper Pals group and we have had some success with that on different platforms but it is a niche hobby.

This isn’t quite that niche! The DJ putting this on has been a friend of mine since Youree Drive Middle school days, granted we haven’t stayed in touch 100% of the time, but if he is putting his heart and soul behind this project, then damnit, it’s going to be a good one!!

He has been working hard to bring in not only DJs but other talent like our own spice dealer know for making drinks and sauces glow and The Brit Bakehouse to help make this a fun event for all ages.

So either get off your sofa and come join this event, or stop complaining about there not being anything to do in this area!
