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.

You know, so you don't show up at the airport for your trip to keynote a conference in INDIA and find out YOU NEED A FUCKING VISA AND ONE WAS NEVER GOTTEN FOR YOU.

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

That really sucks Peter...no hope in turning a visa around quickly huh? How long does stuff like that take?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

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.

Oh, they changed the laws down under. It's not required to be a felon anymore. (Although I think it might still be recommended.)
