I'm guessing the BRPD open container control will be out in full force for this event, making sure the public is adequately protected.

I walk around with open containers all the time in BR. I've never been hassled. Anybody else have this issue?

actually .. downtown BR is classified as a "parade ground" wednesday morning through saturday night .. same as LSU on gamedays .. so open containers are cool ..

I'm not sure how one would have even construed that out of your post.

If you're looking for a link for the wine walk deal, it's on facebook. Just search wine walk wednesdays. I got so many damn messages from them, I had to remove myself.

The guy who runs this is a total douche. I've had personal dealings with him, and can't stand him. Most of the owners of the places downtown are thinking about ending their agreement with him over the way he handles himself. He started talking a lot of shite about some restaurants downtown because they didn't want to offer more expensive wines for 3 dollars a glass. Basically all he does is send out a facebook message, show up and collect money. Then hit on chicks.

I would literally get about 3 messages per week. And when there was a typo or something, you would get bombed with more messages. Maybe it's a good thing I never went.
