EDIT: sorry I probably hijacked this thread, but you all can take a commercial break, I could tell you all about Biab2019 but then they would have to shoot me
I'll try and get over there. This is an awesome Documentary https://www.alibris.com/search/movies/upc/3561302400785 I had a friend come over from France a couple of months back, he took the DVD back with him so I had to get another.
Louisiana Blues Musical Documentary
From the camera of celebrated French documentarians Jean-Pierre Bruneau and Jose Reynes, and in the tradition of The Buena Vista Social Club, comes the exhilarating musical documentary Louisiana Blues. From the backwoods of Baton Rouge to the heart the Big Easy, creole and Cajun music have endured despite years of tumult. This film explores not only the musicians who continue to produce this music, but the climate, culture, and way of life that have shaped them. Innumerable zydeco superstars appear onscreen and deliver legendary performances, including Beau Jocque, D.L. Menard, and Zydeco Joe. Nathan Southern, Rovi
Thnx, i saw it, but i ordered as i didn't have it on DVD.
PS You'll enjoy this one then from Les Blanc; slightly more the white side of Louisana Cajun Life, especially the bonus tracks are a great 'bonus' on the DVD version itself: j'été au bal DVD
I would be careful with Bestservice. I bought an expensive product today, but when I entered the serial number it said "Serial number already used" so I didn't get the product I paid for. I have of course sent them an e-mail, but if I don't get my product by tomorrow I will go to the police with the case. It was a lot of money for me.
Buying on internet. - It seems that there are more and more fake websites appearing and looking very similar as the 'original' ones come around.
Usually one gets there through a phishing link in an email, one reason i try to avoid going places via email links. In Holland there just was an item on the news showing almost identical but fake login pages from banks, and some larger internet stores. Mentioned was as cause of this recent increase, that there were new software tools (on the 'darkweb'?) around facilitating the building of fake websites.
I almost never buy anything without Paypal or VISA etc as usual you are safer there. I had a similar event with a nasty ebay seller; did not look too close at the checkout details when i went for 'buy it now', and all of a sudden i was charged $300 'shipping' costs for an online software package. Seller refused returns, in an insulting manner even saying a deal is a deal, and i had to get eBay involved. They took my side, reverted the transaction. Ebay told me they removed the seller etc. and it seems Paypal blocked his money withdrawal. 2 days later it seemed the seller was active again, reported him again, don't know how that ended yet. Bestservice has a good reputation though.
Serials and copy protection is a drag almost always for a legal buyer. Seems you're better off using hacked stuff LoL. I just bought an expensive Waves package, after fooling with a few plugins at some one else's place. Boy, to get the license activation to work i spent about 4 hours and needed to get firewalls and antivirus stuff turned off to get it done. Even some registry permission got in the way. I finally found the solution via similar complaints on the Gearslutz forum. F
PS i'll post this as new item elsewhere on the PG site.

I have had similar from a site I trust. I emailed them they sent me another serial number same deal. They then sent me one that worked fine. It seems what happens is they purchase a heap on licences to on sell. Sometimes their database for what has been on sold is a bit knotted.
Hope it works out.
