Hi mate,
There were dozens of people being dragged into the 2nd immigration holding
room and I do think it was down to the elections. This must have put added
pressure on the immigration officials so they were bound to be more than a
little tetchy.
It's always nice to be missed and I'll have to drop Maurice an email. You
may very well be seeing me in Oslo - I'll be the one with the banner that
reads "Norwegian Immigration Rules"
Hope you're well and enjoying the tour.
Cheers
Darren

**** indeed brother, and you weren't the only one! You can bet
your ass that it was due to the presidential election. You wouldn't
believe the security at the first Chicago show, (Obama's last pre-
election rally in Grant Park the same evening) local venue security
was heavily reinforced by Chicago PD. Second Chicago gig was way more
relaxed, with Rosemont PD auxiliaries instead.
You were missed, Maurice asked if you were around in Chicago as he
hadn't seen you in Wilkes-Barre.
See you in Oslo then :) ?
