I don't see how being a DJ has anything to do with having a harder time gaining access to a country through its border. |
Really? You don't? It does. |

Well if you're traveling for a gig, you're basically crossing a border with a whole bunch of gear, a few hundred dollars worth of music, maybe a work visa maybe not, and are often instantly associated with drugs because of the nature of the scene. You're usually in a rush, as well. Naturally you're going to be a bigger target than most.
Not speaking from experience as a DJ here, because I've never traveled south of the border for a gig, but more than once I've been placed in "temporary custody" before by US border patrol and had my car, bags, computer, BlackBerry searched all because they *thought* I was moving weed. I have no criminal record, don't do drugs, and this happens nearly every time I cross. I have to leave hours in advance just to make sure I get there on time.
Be thankful crossing the border is as normal as a trip to the corner store for you. It's not that easy for the rest of us. |

for a dj it has NOTHING to do with drugs. every dj that travels for work will worry about the border situation if the promoter does not supply them with a work visa. a person that does not reside in a particular country is not legally allowed to work without a work visa. |

Could have been a number of things
1. work visa
2. weather
Didnt western NY get hit with a ton of snow over the past week? |

| Yeah but Saturday and Sunday were pretty mild and most of it melted. That's in Rochester at least, but Buffalo is only an hour west of here. |

An hour could mean the difference between 5cm and 110cm. London is only about 1.5 hours from Mississauga and they got hit with 100+cm while Mississauga got around 5cm if that. |

| True, but the kind of lake effect snow that Buffalo gets typically comes west to east and then hits Rochester. |
