This and that on the first Saturday of spring
As another ‘No Kings’ march approaches, still waiting on a special prosecutor’s decision about a gun-toting confrontation at an April 2025 demonstration. Boilers take care of business in Round 1. And
Support for Based in Lafayette comes from Purdue Convocations, presenting Beetlejuice on Thursday, April 9. Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O! It’s Showtime — BUY TICKETS now and save with a Me+3 Four-Pack!
Support for this edition also comes from Rat Pak Venue in downtown Lafayette, presenting Afroman at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 24. The OG Afroman returns to Lafayette performing his hits like “Because I Got High”, “Crazy Rap (Colt 45)” and “Lemon Pound Cake.” And he’s bringing along his friends Graet Daeg and Bank Boi Money. Pre-sale tickets are available for $40. Limited table reservations available for purchase, also. Get tickets here. Discount code: thanks.
Yesterday was supposed to be last call for this 20% off spring sale at Based in Lafayette. But I didn’t get the Substack setting turned off. So, now through the end of Saturday, new subscribers can take 20% off the regular price for monthly or annual subscriptions for the first year. It’s spring, as of this morning. The deal disappears (really, this time) at the end of the day. Here’s how to get it.
A few notes on the first Saturday of spring …
FROM THE ‘STILL WAITING’ FILES: THE GUN AT A PROTEST EDITION: With another “No Kings” march scheduled for next Saturday, March 28, a case stemming from an April 2025 confrontation at a downtown Lafayette demonstration lingers in the hands of a special prosecutor.
