here are some helpfull hints to get over the border as a dj..
Danny has crossed with me over the border to spin and we never had any real problems except for Serotonin ( did I spell it right) did not a birth certificate on him..PLease tell me thats not the reason why they pulled you in and sent you back.
Anyways a few hints.
Never say you are a dj. Say student , McDonalds employee, stripper. God anything but a DJ
Always check out the Georgia Straight for a awsom random reason of why you are going to the states or Canada. example a few weeks back we used a comic book convention. In the past I have used everything from music concerts going on in the states, flower shows, food fairs. NEVER MENTION THE WORD PARTY OR RAVE and carefull on the subject of clubs.
Always have the phone # of someone you can give as a place you are staying. or a hotel name.
ALWAYS have an exact address of a destionation point. (don't use the party address)
Remain calm, cheerfull and don't panic at the stupid random questions they ask. Be straight foward and direct with your answers don't draw out the conversation. example where did you meet the other people in the car answer school..
When in doubt take the bus across the border. and remember once they have your name down as being turned back at the boarder IT STAYS on a record there..So don't think it will be so easy to make it back in especially if you said you were a dj or spinning at a friends party..
Still have problems..Last hint. Ship your records down to the promoter or a reliable person a day before the party. No records in the car ..No crazy questions.
Hope this may help a few of you out. Sorry about the spelling mistakes ..Good luck getting across next time..

^ lying your way through the border? fun.

saying you're going to a different show that night? better be prepared with tickets to the show, because they will ask to see them.

tickets cant always be bought across the border, so you may have 'friends' holding them for you ;)

u always have to lie if you have records. that's pretty much the bottom line.

and apri's got the right idea...

Get across the Border:

1. 1 Pair of Wire Clippers
2. 1 Set of Camouflage (Good for a Jungle DJ as you won't have to change at the Party)
3. 1 Squeeze Bottle of Beef Juice to throw off the Dogs
4. 1 Pair of Running Shoes
5. 1 Waiting Get-Away Car (Preferably Unmarked and Generic... ie Silver Civic)

Plan:
Cam up, sneak to 0 Avenue, cut a Hole in the Fence and book it to a waiting Car.

Easy!

I hope you weren't talking to me. If you were I hope your bet wasn't too big. I've been on Training Exercises running around in Combats by Zero Ave years ago. I've been flying down it in my Mustang late at night. I know allllllll about Zero Ave.
