Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion
Yeah guess it is between Tues/Wed. Personally, I vastly prefer Wednesday and after talking to Boquense it is him, Chairman Wood, and some poker-playing Irish dude named Reggie that play on Tuesday. So that's four people that can't make Tuesdays very often, but obviously you guys started it so if Wednesday isn't good for people who already go, I don't expect it to be changed.
Just a thought.

In fairness the tuesday game used to be on a mondays so it never clashed with the dinner.

Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion
So I'm officially coming to visit for Creamfields in two weeks and around 85% sure to be moving back in late Dec / early Jan so this is all relevant now.
What's the status on customs jerking people around who bring in electronics? FWIW, I'm trying to get in 2 30"s, a desktop, and a laptop which I'm sure isn't going to fly (though I'll be bringing the 30s one at a time). In the past I never had problems, but I had comparatively small monitors. But I do remember getting weird looks for even bringing in one 20". My 30" monitor has a custom flight case if that's relevant.
I know to get customs declarations from the USA and in theory that should protect me for an unlimited number of electronics for personal use, but I really don't want to get delayed at Ezeiza for an hour trying to sort things out with my now broken Spanish.

Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion
And since I just got a PM about this, if anyone is interested in going to Creamfields let me know. Myself, straate, and 2 other poker players are going to be flying in for it and anyone chill is welcome to join. You can either buy your own ticket or let me know in the next day or two and I'm having Boquense be my bitch and get them all at once. We'll also be going to the Boca game that Sunday if you have interest.
Which reminds me, once I move back I intend to continue my habit of going to every Boca home game so anyone who is looking for someone to go with can let me or Boquense know and you can join us.

I came with a buddy. Between the two of us we had two laptops, one desktop, one 30, and two 20's. Customs Xrayed and questioned us about them. I just told her they where used and are for personal use. She asked me a few times and tried to trip me up, but I stuck to the story and had no real issue.

Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion
I'll be bringing a 30" and a laptop in 3 weeks so I'll let you guys know how it goes, I can't really see a problem though.

Great pics, I like the Asado ones and the confrontation between Thuy and the Rottweiler.

Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion
To everyone who wanted me to buy their Creamfields tickets, I was unable to. I've got mine but I couldn't get anymore so you'll have to get them yourself. You are still, however, welcome to join us at the event. I just can't pick up the tickets for you.
