    What do you tell the US border patrol when they ask...

    "What is the purpose of your visit?" when it's a convention like Internext?

    Just tell them you are here to get drunk spend money and see titties.
    In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

          When I'm coming back from TJ I always tell them we were betting sports at Caliente, they let my white ass right through! Sometimes they look for some tips on bets!

            Just say vacation and have a brief story ready about where you are going and for how long etc IF they should ask for more details but don't blurt it out like a script.

            Email yourself any documents or itineraries and if you really need your laptop, clean it up a bit or at least delete the ******* pic as your desktop.

                    I've always told them it's an internet convention, where I'm going to meet associates, clients etc.

                    Then they ask...

                    What kind of business is it?
                    Do you have a business card?
                    Do you have a website?

                    Note, that I'VE never had a problem getting across, but the horror stories are becoming much more frequent.

                          if I am borded and have time to waste: "business trip - buying and selling drugs!"
                          if I need to get through quickly: "to see my doctor for my monthly AIDS/HIV treatment."

                          I always get stopped ... a common problem for olive or off-white folk like me.

                                Holiday in Las Vegas is the best thing to say.

                                      it's common knowledge never to say work stuff but I got red flagged so Im going to make sure to keep my story together.

                                      It looks kinda shady when I go to Vegas, Maimi, Arizona, Mexico etc for less than a week and I never bring anything back I look like a drug dealer.

                                      So just say your visiting your friends.

                                          CES is right around the corner too..
                                          so that should be a good excuse.

                                                      What kind of business is it?
                                                      Do you have a business card?
                                                      Do you have a website?

                                                      Note, that I'VE never had a problem getting across, but the horror stories are becoming much more frequent.
                                                      what are your answers for those ?
