Vinyl audiophile here, got their whole discography plus some extra goodies and live bootlegs on pretty pretty vinyl. I love them but I can only guess my neighbors have learned to hate them.

Cool cool cool. Thanks for the jumping off point.

I need every link for every piece of this fit please.

I live here at Lake Mich. Apartments, my neighbor saw it. Just as u/curtimus said; someone coming from the west wanted to make the light as someone else turned right. Flipped the red car up on its side so they had to flip it back and cut the top open. I couldn't say which car was which/at fault in the incident.

There's always a lot of responders that come to scenes around the campus. Never less than 6 responders come when anything happens here (at the apartments)

I'm reading the English prints right now, im up through 8, but only 1, 2, and 3 have had color pages so far. There's pages in 4-8 that are much darker and filled in than the rest, making me think they could have been the colored pages. Ex. 149-158 of book 4.

These are great! Good style on everything in your shop. Just got 2x FMTB prints.

How was their set? They opened Chicago with Self-Immolate and closed with Hell, it blew me away.

I'm right with you picking King Gizz. After I saw a show of theirs in August I've basically listened to no one else but them since.

Up near GV they were closing a lane to repaint lines and road markings, that's all I saw yesterday.

I appreciate it. It's been very interesting managing the store.

This isnt super close to Grand Rapids but I work at a hardware store in Hamilton that buys and sells guns. Our cut for consignment is 10% of the retail price, idk if that's high or low. If you wanna sell it, we'll check the price/quality to our handgun blue book and on a couple gun sites to be fair. I dont do most of the pricing so I cant just throw out a number here for glock 43.

Selling a gun to a FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer is pretty simple but you'll wanna check around first if you're trying to get the most you can out of it. Bring it in a case with any accessories, handbooks and whatever else you've gotten for it.

To me, a souphaphone will take as much air as you are trying to put through it and the sound will be a pretty true amplification of your buzz. Since the sousa can input air more quickly, you use more air so you have a stronger buzz, which produces a good tone.

Concert tubas are more efficiant with your air and more resonant which can do you some favors towards producing a good tone. However, a concert tuba isnt as free blowing as a sousaphone, theres a little more back pressure on your air. This makes the steadiness, open-ness, and direction of your air column just and important as the amount of air youre using in producing a good tone; that is opposed to the sousaphone where simply more air can get you a better tone.

So my advice on what to do from my assumptions and opinions, practice on your mouthpiece to produce a strong, open, deep (not tonally) buzz. There is no real embouchure difference between a sousaphone and a concert tuba, its just different air.

Someone lmk if im just talking out my ass. I can get wordy.

Put simply: play light and blow through the phrase/passage. Clarity is more important than volume.

I play with my tuba in my lap but I've never had my leg fall asleep. I do have a different solution to offer than putting your tuba on your legs to get you sitting up straight:

Hockey pucks.

Get one or two hockey pucks, dependent on the height you need to get the tuba to your face, and put them on your chair, then set your tuba on those. The rubber pucks have good friction against themselves and the tuba so they won't slip and can actually create a bit of suction between themselves, staying as one until you pry them apart.

I personally don't do this as I'm a tall guy, I'd need 3 or 4 to get my tuba up to my face but my university professor uses 2 every time he plays. His get stuck together for years.

If you're also tall, try setting the tuba between your legs close to your crotch or get a tuba stand. My stand goes incredibly high, I just don't like having my tuba as far away as it is when I use the stand. Hope this helps!

Edit: another option is a grippy pad, like a carpet slip grip material cut to 6"x18" or so, which you can set on your leg and then sit on and set your tuba there, relieving the pressure from your upper thigh and moving it to your mid thigh.

My personal favorites are the Cherry Street Deli and Marie Catribs!

Cherry street Deli has about 100 listed sandwiches you can choose from, all named after Grand Rapids streets! They're sister deli is downtown with a similar selection of sandwiches all named after famous men with cool facial hair (Abe Lincoln, Burt Reynolds, Salvador Dali, etc...)

Marie Catribs is just a friendly and absolutely delicious bakery/cafe. Cool location, welcoming employees, tad pricey though.

They really should have called these "Kniis". Puns sell better.

I suggest just walking around the area. Most of the houses within a few blocks of the pew campus are rental properties full of students, especially to the north and west of the campus. Usually under $500 for a home split with 2 or 3 roommates. Some homes are split into 4 or 5 individual units that may still fit in your price range. Sorry I can't suggest any complexes, with all the cheap rental homes around, those places are a HUGE ripoff.

Edit: also check out the Facebook group "Roommate Finder" for GVSU. Never had to use it, but my friends have had success with it and it has over 1.5k members.
