A question for fellow Canucks heading south: Business or Pleasure?
In as much as I'm taking vacation time and my day job isn't sponsoring this trip, it's pleasure. In as much as I would take money for Drupal work if it were offered, this is business training. Is there a "best" answer to give the nice customs official while he or she holds the fate of my next 3 days in the balance?
Since there isn't a registration confirmation document should I bring along a strategic print out (time/place) from the web site?
Cheers.

Print the agenda. It's less
Print the agenda. It's less training than it is a user conference. So, "I'm attending a software conference". You're not being paid to go, so shouldn't be a problem. Other things like "it's a community run event" or some such sometimes helps.
I've never brought along printed anything for anything I've attended. You could print out the agenda if you want.
Thanks
Thanks. Friend of mine was done there last week for a computer security group meeting and mentioned a higher than usual "attention" level. Having never crossed for a reason like this I wanted to line up the ducks :-)
won't telling them you are going to Conference suffice?
In other words, say you are going for a business conference (and you won't be working) and print out the page that proves you have signed up for backup. I think that should work.
