"To answer your question: The promoter of the tour failed to apply for the work visa properly by giving inaccurate information on the application. As the result, when entering Canada through Toronto on Thursday, I was detained for 1 hour, charged triple the amount for the visa and given a violation on my passport. Which means, if I should ever come to Canada again for work/whatever, I can expect to be pulled aside and detained!. And, this is probably indefinite. To make the promoter accountable(which is next to impossible to do), I double all the fees for the remainder of the tour(2 dates). He do not agree, I canceled."

that does generate some sort of sympathy, but not much. at best it shifts some of the blame to the promoters. how much does that visa cost compared to how much he raised his fees? sure, the promoter didn't do what he was supposed to (this isn't a new story, why aren't both sides more careful?). but there is a question as to if this was intentional on the part of the promoter or not, how did he end up putting down "inaccurate information"? an invonvinience clause was probably not in the contract. and it wasn't just mills that was inconvinienced. i'm sure people remember mills (or the lack thereof) at st. andrews in detroit. cancelled because not enough tickets were sold. like people in detroit buy tickets in advance when they don't have to. mills, spinning to an empty venue in detroit. ha. maybe his reputation had already preceeded him and people were afraid to buy tickets presale (the case with my friends and i). i really don't like it when big djs make it inconvinient for their fans. we don't forget it. anyway, enough of that. cheers. -- Joshua Hill / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / icq: 3045997 www.hillhaus.com / www.ai-studio.com University of Michigan - Philosophy -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "313 Detroit" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 04, 2000 7:33 PM Subject: Re: [313] mills vs .ca > Like I always say, there is always two side to a story.
