Title: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?
Post by: valley_parade on 06 May 2008, 08:27
This is Linds' idea, mostly, but uh.

You see that EP I have for sale in my signature? If you guys snagged enough copies, I'd probably be able to quickly get my passport and join you lot.




DO EEEEET. Please?

I already grabbed it through ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING. It's on soulseek dude.
Seriously though, I have a job now, I can do it. I can grab Khar's too. Thing is, I have a thing about transactions involving money on the internet, but we'll work around that.

If you convince Jon and Rachel not to back out, I will buy your ep. I don't think you'll be coming if they don't. :cry:

So I decided to visit the US State Department website.

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

No passport needed?

Quote from: Weird Government People
On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI.  The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have a passport, passport card, or WHTI-compliant document.

That sounds like a no.

But everyone should still buy Shane's EP due to the fact that he is made out of 100% awesome.

Wait wait. Wait. I might NOT need one?

Post by: Barmymoo on 07 May 2008, 05:17
Hahahahaha I find this amusing.

Guys, if Shane doesn't need a passport you could just contribute that money to my passport fund, I need one too! Except that it isn't lack of money that's my problem, it's the fact that there's no one in a 100 mile radius who has known me for long enough to countersign it.

Anyone want to commit federal fraud and sign my passport application for me?

If I commit the crime here in Albania, where I am pretty much guaranteed to never be arrested for anything just 'cause I'm an American, does it still mean I'll be arrested in Britain?
Title: Re: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?
Post by: valley_parade on 07 May 2008, 06:36
CURRENTLY:
U.S. citizens need to present either (a) a passport, passport card (available in spring 2008), or WHTI-compliant document; or (b) a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.

Guys uh..

I HAVE THAT. I VERY HAVE THAT.
Title: Re: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?

Well that and call the State Department because Jon's telling me something totally different.

To clarify re passport requirements:

For air travel across the border  you need a passport.

For land travel across the border  read the following:

Quote from: U.S. Customs & Border Protection (http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/ready_set_go/land_travel/chnge_in_proced.xml)
Effective January 31, 2008, U.S. and Canadian citizens ages 19 and older should no longer expect that they will be able to prove identity and citizenship by relying on an oral declaration alone. Instead, travelers will be asked to present documents from one of the options below when entering the United States at land or sea ports of entry. Travelers who do not present one of the documents listed below may be delayed as U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers attempt to verify their identity and citizenship.


U.S. and Canadian Citizens – Single Document Option


One of the following documents should be presented to prove both identity and citizenship.


Acceptable Documents as of January 31:

U.S. or Canadian Passport
U.S. Passport Card (Available spring 2008)*
Trusted Traveler Cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST)*
State or Provincial Issued Enhanced Driver’s License (when available – this secure driver’s license will denote identity and citizenship.)*
Enhanced Tribal Cards (when available)*
U.S. Military Identification with Military Travel Orders
U.S. Merchant Mariner Document
Native American Tribal Photo Identification Card
Form I-872 American Indian Card
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Card

* Frequent Land Border Crossers — to expedite processing into the United States, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recommends using one of the above asterisked documents.


U.S. and Canadian Citizens – Two Document Option


All U.S. and Canadian citizens who do not have one of the documents from the list above must present BOTH an identification and citizenship document from each of the columns below.


Identification Documents*

Driver’s license or identification card issued by a federal, state, provincial, county, territory, or municipal authority
U.S. or Canadian military identification card

* All identification documents must have a photo, name and date of birth.


Citizenship Documents

U.S. or Canadian birth certificate issued by a federal, state, provincial, county, territory or municipal authority
U.S. Consular report of birth abroad
U.S. Certificate of Naturalization
U.S. Certificate of Citizenship
U.S. Citizen Identification Card

Well, according to what pilsner just posted, I can cross the border with my Massachusetts ID card and a birth certificate.

Seeing that Jon & Rachel are now out (laaaaame, you two. =P), my option is Greyhound. I can get a round trip ticket from Pittsfield to Toronto for $80. I've got $50 laying around..anyone want to be awesome and chip in $10?
Title: Re: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?
Post by: pilsner on 07 May 2008, 10:24
TL/DR.

Also, you have family in Toronto don't you, pilsner? Are you going to come? I'll buy you some candy floss or something.

I'm actually in the process of moving to To.  Just don't know where I'm going to be during the festivities.  What are the dates again?
Title: Re: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?
Post by: valley_parade on 07 May 2008, 10:39
I'm not entirely sure! I just got an email saying $50 came into my account. I know you have to have my email address ([email protected]), but that's about it.


(Tommy, do you know if the hotel room you're in has a couch or spare bed of some sort? It seems Jon and Rachel cancelled the first hostel room)

This is what I read when I saw what you wrote.

Also, I have already reserved 'The State Department' as a band name.

I can't really guarantee a place at my hotel I'm afraid.

It's cool, I've got the foot of Linds' bed.

And cheers to you, Mr. Dski. I'll have said $50 back in your hand (plus a drink or two) when I get there.

Post by: Ballard on 07 May 2008, 12:58
Achewood's server is bugging out right now and I will take advantage of this.

Hey Tommy, if I were to consider buying an Orange half-stack and an American Tele which would allow me to rock out every day in your honor, would you consider pitching in for the cause?
Title: Re: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?
Post by: Patrick on 07 May 2008, 14:55
Dude you did NOT say there was an American Tele and an Orange half-stack at stake.

If you up the ante to that, I am in like a finger at a prostate exam.

y'know, being on fire ain't all that hard. There's a trick to not minding which requires copious amounts of alcohol and an abundance of teenage angst, both things that everybody has in surplus at some stage.

Shane, I just sent $50 to your Paypal as a contribution to your Tronnocon Fund. I hope this helps a bit! It was really easy, I just put in your email address and it did everything else for me.

I am entering it, Tommy. I've already started working on your mix.

There's a slight flaw in the whole set-up, though. Your rule that the music must be something you've never heard of before and the implication that you should enjoy the mix are contradictory, considering your vast knowledge of music and rather cemented tastes.

Title: Re: GUYS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT ME AT TRONNOCON?
Post by: Sox on 08 May 2008, 08:17
Gene, there's taste, and then there is standards. There's an entire spectrum of music that's insanely popular right that he's rather unaware of. Fortunately, it happens to be mostly music that most people here seem to enjoy rather a lot.
