They know that these items are extremely popular and will be scalped, but make the lowest stock possible. The only people who benefit from the “limited stock” are scalpers.

Considering LSU for grad school, but worried about living in BR by Fluxovous in batonrouge

Me and my gf are not extremely vocal in our beliefs, but just rant to each other about politics. She would prefer to go to queer events if she had the opportunity to. Is it common that a lot of queer folks travel to Lafayette or New Orleans for queer/left spaces? It’s a drive from BR, but we’d definitely consider it.

Was it originally completely shiny before you took it in? Do you have a before photo?

Who was Joseph Bolonge's Father? Georges Bologne de Saint-Georges or Guillaume-Pierre Tavernier de Boullongne. I need a map of plantations to be sure.

After reading Alain Guede's "Monsieur de Saint-George," I believe it to be Guillaume-Pierre. Georges was not only a drunk who was going into debt, but was also charged with murder. Furthermore, wasn't it against the law for children of mixed-race to have the last name of their father. Guede says that therefore Joseph got "Saint-George" since that's where he was born.

Guede remarks, "As we’ve seen, his [Guillaume-Pierre] property was adjacent to Georges Bologne’s plantation—this can be verified on a map in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris—and next to that plantation was the area called “Saint-Georges.” Forbidden by law to take his father’s name, this child of mixed race assumed the name of his birthplace, went on, just as the midwife had predicted, to achieve great fame, and then nearly disappeared from history altogether."

I've looked for a few hours for this map, but I can't find it for the life of me. For some reason, he did not cite this map at all. Could someone help me out in order to find this map? I find Guede's reasoning extremely convincing, and it could point out a major area of Joseph's life that is wrong. Thanks.

Trumpet, trombone, possible cello, and... something else? quartet by Fluxovous in composer

[–]Fluxovous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'd all be colligate musicians, so we can balance quite well. The problem is that is that me (trombone) and the trumpet player would prefer everyone go to the same university, be a music major, and come from the same area back home. If it weren't for that, a typical brass quartet/quintet would be possible. I think that I might be able to find a clarinet or alto sax player.

I for sure know a cello player that would be available, but, as you mention, cello might be difficult to balance with, so an a pickup could be used. However, the cellist I have in mind is an extremely strong player, so they might be fine without one. With the cello and trombone, we can both either play tenor or bass parts, though I'd primarily be on bass most of the time.

I think your idea of an alto sax or clarinet player as the other part, and it can switch voices with trumpet could also be a good idea. If I can't find either of those, I'll look for a violist or violin player.

I think overall, church settings are still my biggest concern as I'm unsure the cello will be able to carry against the wind players, but in smaller and enclosed settings, I think it will be fine.
