That's a fellow Gatherer, my absolute not sober self, and Raven after the show on Friday night. Hooray for alcohol.

Hahaha. That light must have been a real bitch on your eyes.

About the customs thing, my opinion is don't bother. If they really had something on you I can't imagine why they would have left you up to your own devices to contact whoever anyway. And the way you tell the story you make it sound like they only told you to contact someone for an answer to your question, not because THEY specifically wanted you to contact someone. The way you tell the story, it just sounds like a lot of scare tactics to me.

I'm panicking now, as I didn't declare the six little jars of fancy mustard I bought at Fortnum & Mason for my mother-in-law.

actually jars of food like that are the perfect thing to get caught at customs for, as they're commonly used to smuggle drugs (masking scent for the dogs, icky stuff for the customs agent's hand). don't ask me how i know.

i'd bet, given your last name, there's somebody on the big "no flight list" with the same or a similar name. good thing your flight didn't get turned around. but don't worry, ted kennedy's on it too!

I have a friend named James Clark. Apparently, there's a James Clark on the FBI "watch list". My friend travels nearly every week for work, and gets a full search at every airport every week--hand search of all luggage and about every three weeks, has to spend a half hour answering questions to the TSA goons. He has to plan an extra hour into every departure as a result. He continually complains but no one seems to know who at the FBI to call. One TSA genius told him that it was unfortunate, but "it's just bad luck that you have the same name as a bad guy."

Yeah, I read an article in the newspaper about a guy like that who tried and tried to clear his name so he wouldn't get hassled, but he got nowhere.

So did either Mr. Ferguson or Mr. Glover put in an appearance?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 3 March 2005 16:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Sadly, no.

I'm glad - if the original line-up had made an appearance I'd have wanted to be there.
