Tonight White Lung Cancelled
Posted by Emily Nokes on Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 10:38 AM
Whispers of White Lung's show cancellation have been confirmed. Apparently they had trouble getting into the US from Canada and will not be able to thrash us tonight at Chop Suey. SUCH A BUMMER.
I've never been too clear on exactly what the fuss is with this bands/border situation. Seems like some musicians make it to Seattle all the time, while others can't seem to crack the code. I thought we were FRIENDS with Canada. What's the problem? Are both sides really afraid that a band might make $100?

One time I couldn't get across the border because I had 15 mexicans stuffed into the lining of my seats

Being a Canadian, I hear the "America band turned back at the border" story all the time. Last one for Regina -- or the last one I was at all bummed about -- was Screaming Females earlier this year.
I get the impression boarder guards don't understand music. Once, I was coming back from an Okkervil River show in Fargo and the guy at the border asked me why I didn't have any "holes" in my arms and hands, because he thought I would've been moshing, and that that's what happens when you mosh.

I couldn't get into Canada once because I had no cash, despite having a debit and credit card on me.

Once, my pal, J couldn't come to the USA because she was carrying a sewing machine. Another time, my friend, Carolyn couldn't cross the border because they GOOGLED her and found out she was a musician. Border bummers are the WORST.

I once almost couldn't cross the border because I had a pro-looking DSLR camera. WHAT? Thought I was going to take too nice of pictures, then sell them for $.
THIS SUCKS.
THIS SUCKS.
