i don't know if u knew this, but many dj's and artists are actually getting busted and their careers are going down the drain due to this. we were just discussing this today in class..and even if ure going to USA to spin for an hour..if you dont have a work permit, which could be costly...u will never step foot in the USA again...so if ure going there..be legit!! its not worth getting caught for something like that...

If I recal correctly - HRDC charged ~$250 for the work permits for F&P back in April.
They probably could have done the gig without them, but after the investment in the venue, promotion, etc - we weren't about to take the risk.
They have special "artist" permits which are fairly easy to get. It takes about 30 days to get them.
Follow the rules = less problems. This is true for most things in life.
