[sdiy] East Coast SDIY meet

[harrybissell]

Oh yeah... I can see taking my DIY stuff to Canada again.  They stopped me
for about ten minutes at the border wondering why I was bringing musical
instruments in if I was not going to 'play' (ie work!).

I was just about to show the officer the list of all the synth-diy people by way
of explaining the hobby, when they asked me the final question...

"what do you do for a living ?"

I said "engineer" and they laughed and said "go right ahead"

So... are engineers incapable of playing music.

I was thinking they would take out my wife's Theremin and marvel at the
antennas.  She said she would tell them she was going to Toronnto
to "catch a plane"...   If they asked "what plane?" she'd reply...

"Oh... you know... a BIG plane"    :^P
