Anyone who is coming in to play without buying an artist's visa will
potentially have a hard time.
DJ Vadim ran it down for me -- they have to pay $1k per person for
artisitc
work visas and jump through a bunch of hoops to get in the country
legally
to perform. The visa is good for a year, so he generally comes over a
couple of
times during a year for which he's bought a visa.
And yes everyone coming in is getting much closer scrutiny. My brother
spent
the night in a customs detention cell recently for having one ritalin
tablet
in his car, and had to pay a $500 fine to get back in the country.
