ntrprnr 0 #1 February 18, 2010 When a conference organizer tells you that "he'll take care of all the details in getting you there," it's usually a good idea to check.

piisfish 135 #2 February 18, 2010 noone never told you that you needed one ? or that you should take care of obtaining one yourself ? in that case, yes it would be a huge mistake from their side. in case they wrote it down somewhere and you didn't read it, the mistake would be on your side. it's a part of my job, and people often just DON'T read what you write scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #19 February 19, 2010 I think this would make a fine side topic on Fox in an hour. That's the cool thing about Peter - appearing on Fox to talk about Tiger is a nice backup plan for India Visa issues. My wife is hotter than your wife.
