No I didn't spread it! Honest! > >The saga of Kevin's dumbek, > i'm curious -- would someone be willing to fill me in on this story? > (sounds interesting) Well, there's really no way to keep this brief, which is why I didn't include it in the original review. But since you asked: Kevin, half-asleep, left the dumbek he won at the Con behind when he left in the wee small hours Monday am to catch his flight. I got a phone call from a panicked ladywench at about 8:45 am, wondering if she brought it to our hotel could we bring it home, as a) we were driving not flying, and so had a little more luggage space and b) Kev lives remotely near us, so picking it up shouldn't be too difficult. Of course we said yes, so she arrived after a long haul across town on public transit with it, and we stuck it in the car, wrapped in a blanket and tote bag for safekeeping. All fine and dandy until several hours later, when we made the attempt to enter our own country. Then: young, pissy customs official: where are you from? me: near Philadelphia her: where have you been in Canada? me: Toronto her: for how long? me: since Thursday. her: why? me: we were attending some concerts given by a band we like, and seeing friends. her: what's in that black case? me: a drum. her: a DRUM? me: yes, a ceramic drum called a dumbek. I brought it into Canada from the States, because a bunch of us got together to play some music during the weekend. her: how much is this drum worth? me: maybe $100? her: are there any other instruments in the car? me: um, yeah. I have a smaller drum in my suitcase, and a pair of little rhythm instruments. We brought them into Canada from the States, just like the dumbek. Oh yeah, and there's another dumbek, but it belongs to a friend. her: why are you transporting a drum for someone else? me, starting to panic: He won it as a doorprize up here, but he couldn't take it home on the airplane because it was too big, bulky, and fragile, so we're taking it for him. He only lives about an hour from us, north of Philly. her: and its value? me: I don't know ... probably about the same as mine. $ 100 US maybe. her: pull off to the side next to that building and go inside. Well, that's already the longest verbal exchange I've ever been party to with any customs agent in crossing this border regularly over the course of 22 years. I was, needless to say, panicked. Inside, they checked all our id. They confiscated our licenses, birth certificates, prior work and residence visas ... everything. They pulled the Cushy Cozy FruCar into a garage. They took my dumbek out of its case. They emptied Steve's dirty laundry. They inspected my toiletries. They *sniffed* the Bag Balm I use for chapped hands. (no, folks, it's really NOT blacktar heroin -- it's a petro product. Sheeesh.) Then, with Steve waiting in the car, and me still inside, the guy inside asked me to name the town where I was born. No biggie, except I mechanically named the town I live in instead, then had t o backtrack ... wait a minute, that's not where the hospital is ... uggh. He gave me a long look, then gave me back my paperwork and sent me on my way, approximately one hour after we'd first hit the customs booth from hell. Lesson learned: never never never never mention music, musicians, or instruments to US border guards! I don't know whether the suspicion is that we're all dope fiends muling drugs across the border in our drums, or just working illegally outside the country ... but this was just not fun. Exceedingly invasive. I know people who have had much worse things happen, yes, but I had never had it happen before and I'll live a quite fulfilled life without it ever happening again, thank you. - -- Lori, who obviously exudes degeneracy even to Customs officials. Although the Canadians let us in with just one question -- where are you going -- and told us to have a nice weekend ... and yes, the dumbek is now safely in Kevin's custody. ------------------------------ Date: 8 Mar 1999 20:18:14 GMT From: kpfruhead@aol.com (KPFruhead) Subject: Re: Are there any tabs out there? >Get in the Car is at: >http://www.fruvous.com/tab2.html#car > >The Car tab was submitted by by Ryan Meeboer. > No offence to Ryan, but I don't particularly like that tab...
