How are you setting all of this up? using AirBNB? How do you find all of these places to rent for a month?

Just got a phone call for a Microsoft Self-Audit... the whole thing seems fishy....

AirBNB, VRBO, etc. Dominica is a whiz at this stuff. This place in Galveston is a holiday stop for us, so one month is not the norm. Our home in Crete is for the full 90 days of our visas.

It's patch Tuesday but MS apparently.... forgot?

How does the visa process work? You apply for a tourist visa and you get it? Or is there more to it?

It totally depends on your nationality. We carry US Passports at the moment, exclusively, but are working on that. Greece is a Schengen member, so their visa is shared with all of the Schengen. As Americans, the 90 day tourist and work visa is automatic and paperless. Most Americans aren't even aware that a visa exists (hence how my friends got trapped with nowhere to go in Europe because they didn't realize that they had to track their visas) because they are so easy.
So we get 90 days, no questions asked as we arrive in Athens. Once that visa expires we have to be outside of the Schengen for 95 days before going back in. To bypass this we would have to petition the Greek government for a Schengen visa extension. The extension would limit us to Greece, though, and not the Schengen which is very important to understand. It would not stop us from getting another 90 days in Denmark, though, also automatic.

I worked mostly with Greg and with ELP which whom he was still heavily involved at the time. I got to edit a book for Carl.
-
@scottalanmiller even more impressed, they're one of my favorite prog bands of all time. Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery were the first really complex music I learned to play.
-
@scottalanmiller speaking of ELP, have you seen the H.R. Giger documentary? It's wonderful. Best doc I've seen in a while. I'm glad they got it all shot before he passed.

I used to work here: http://pilato.com/
There was only Bruce and I in the mid-1990s when I was there. Pilato Entertainment was in Rochester at the time, in the Medical Arts Building on the East Side of downtown right on the Alexander Street bar stretch which was awesome. I literally worked seven stories directly above "The Old Toad", one of the city's most famous bars.

Time to go home for me.
