That’s right, unless you’re a border guard, you heard it here first: Stuart Davis is officially banned from Canada. We apologize to the fans in Vancouver who were waiting for the show of their lives, but Canadian customs not only stopped Stuart at the border, they detained him and then formally charged him with misleading Canadian authorities (by attempting to work in Canada without proper permits), and expelled him. For the next year, if Stu tries to…penetrate Canada, he will be arrested. Suck. It all started when the border guard saw the tattoo on Stuart’s wrist, a phrase in Latin, “memento mori”, and remarked suspiciously “that means ‘remember death’, why would you have a tattoo that means ‘remember death’?” Who knew mounties were fluent in Latin? When Stuart tried to explain the mystical meaning of the phrase, the guard cut him off, sent him to interrogation. Ahh… can we really be surprised this went down, after all those years of Stuart’s mocking and provoking Canada at shows?

Too bad, Vancouver. We had a blast in Seattle, Portland, and New York. And now we’re on to Los Angeles, Duluth, Ashland, Grand Marais, Madison, and Denver!! Get your friends to a show and you’ll probably all end up in the movies. Stuart now travels with a camera, and is recording all his tours as part of a video journal which will appear on www.integralnaked.org soon. Yes, there is nudity. Yes, wild rabbits. And yes, the best bootlegs on Earth. Come to a show and we’ll put you on screen.
