oh yeah. the france thing makes sense i guess (in the whole
irrational/illogical context of u.s. security things)

i thought it was an old one at first too martin, but he mentions the date
november 2004 which makes it pretty recent i reckon.
it does seem a little strange tho. i know plenty of people from europe who have
no problems getting here, such as bunker who just did a tour here. maybe
laurent's got a shady past he can't disclose...
cant imagine why you'd wanna play here for bush pesos anyways tho

What forms are these? - I never get asked any of these questions, nor does
anyone else I know who visits the USA (and yes it's on biz), I know the
forms are tough but Larry is just being silly. You have to answer most of
that stuff to get a loan in Europe, can't see what the problem is...
This may be an old mail as well, I think I've heard him say this before and
then 6 months later he was touring.
