[Sca-cooks] MK Event: A Cook's Symposium

[Gaylin Walli]

Here's the updated flyer for the cooking symposium event being held
in Starleaf Gate, MIddle Kingdom this December 1st. For those of you
looking for crash space, I am about 20 minutes from the
Michigan-Windsor border (not including travel time to get through
customs). For those of you travelling as US citizens, I'd like to
remind you of the flyer's note to bring 2 forms of ID for crossing
the border. You best ID will be a birth certificate and a passport or
a driver's license. Make sure at least one of your forms of ID has a
photo. They're very courteous at customs but they *will* search your
vehicle. They're very fast about it. -- Iasmin
