SPUG: Meeting in September?

[Chad Cassady]

LOL yeah, I rode up there on my motorcycle last year with my guitar on my
back. They did NOT like the look of the guitar, pulled me aside and
searched everything and asked many questions.

I have several dual-citizen friends who cross regularly, though, for casual
things like "Going to my friend's party". It's not a huge deal. Just don't
be stupid -- for example, cannabis is as popular as beer on both sides of
the border (in Vancouver, there are dedicated coffee shops and lounges that
you can just smoke in, and order sweets and stoner food), but do not
attempt to carry it or related paraphernalia over.

The feds on both sides are cross and intimidating, but keep things in order
and have a clear sense of what you intend on (even it it's just "spend two
nights walking around and checking out the nightlife") and they'll send you
on. They're mainly interested in hearing that you have a specific timeline,
and that you don't intend to work or transport goods. Boilerplate traveler
stuff, I'm preaching to the choir.

Security theater.
