3 CHAIRPERSON MILLER: Good
4 afternoon, everybody. We're now on the record
5 for a fact finding hearing for the H Street
6 Festival. My name is Ruthanne Miller. I'm
7 the Chairperson of the ABC Board.
8 To my far right is Mr. Donald
9 Brooks and to my immediate right is Mr. Nick
10 Alberti. Many of you may know Mr. Alberti, he
11 lives in your neighborhood.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thanks.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. So we've
14 called you all in for a fact finding hearing
15 because I understand that the festival is
16 Saturday. And so we want to make sure that
17 everything goes right and that we have a
18 chance to scrutinize your applications.
19 We've already looked at your
20 applications, but if we have questions, and
21 that you understand the general concerns and
22 what it means to comply.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 4
1 I think there is a mix of
2 establishments and individuals who are getting
3 licenses, and that it is not even across the
4 board. In any event, like all festivals, we
5 want you to have a great time.
6 But we're most concerned about
7 safety, and I'm sure you are, too. So I know
8 this is a very large area, and I've heard that
9 it's double that of last year's.
10 So we're going to be looking at
11 things like security and how you are complying
12 with not serving anyone who is underage and
13 that you know what the rules are and that you
14 have plans how to avoid over crowding and any
15 other kind of problems.
16 So what I first want to do is
17 start with who is here, actually. So I see
18 that someone has come to the table. I would
19 love you to introduce yourself for the record,
20 to start with.
21 MS. YAP: Sure, my name is Wuiping
22 Yap and I'm representing H Street Festival,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 5
1 the main organizer of the festival as H Street
2 Main Street. My counterpart and the director
3 is parking downstairs, so I apologize for him
4 not being here right away.
5 CHAIR MILLER: Is that Mr. Saleem?
6 MS. YAP: Yes.
7 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Good, okay.
8 MS. YAP: And the reason we're up
9 here, we want to explain the festival to you,
10 first because it applies the general
11 information to everybody who is participating.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, that's great.
13 We thought we would like to hear from you at
14 the beginning, as well.
15 MS. YAP: Would it be okay for me
16 to go ahead and start without Mr. Saleem, or
17 do you --
18 CHAIR MILLER: I think that the
19 other idea we had which, you know, might not
20 be a little bit tricky logistically, but while
21 we're waiting for Mr. Saleem, we thought that
22 we would like to know who's here because we do
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 6
1 have, like, 29 applications to consider.
2 So I'm thinking that people, if
3 they could come and introduce themselves
4 briefly, just name and if you're with any, you
5 know, business or anything.
6 MS. YAP: May I suggest we do a
7 roll call?
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, I was going
9 to just suggest we do a roll call.
10 MS. YAP: Okay. All right, yes.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: And I think we
12 actually have a list of licensees. So we'll,
13 I think --
14 CHAIR MILLER: That's a great
15 idea.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- Ms. Miller,
17 you could probably do that.
18 CHAIR MILLER: I would be happy to
19 do it, if that's okay.
20 MS. YAP: Okay.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Yes, maybe that
22 would be better, logistically. Okay. So
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 7
1 you're with H Street Main Street?
2 MS. YAP: Yes, ma'am.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Could you
4 repeat your name, again?
5 MS. YAP: My name is Wuiping Yap,
6 last name Y-A-P.
7 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, great. Jason
8 Martin? Okay. Go ahead.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Who are you with?
10 MR. MARTIN: Rock N Roll Hotel,
11 Sticky Rice, and Chupacabra.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Wait, no you need
14 to repeat it for the court reporter. He needs
15 to come up.
16 COURT REPORTER: If we're going to
17 do a role call like this, people need to come
18 up closer so I can hear them.
19 CHAIR MILLER: So if you don't
20 mind, just --
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
22 MR. MARTIN: Hello, Jason Martin.

3 MR. GIBSON: Good evening.
4 Bernard Gibson.
5 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, great. Now
6 is there anybody here whose name I didn't call
7 or whose establishment I didn't call?
8 MS. YAP: We have two other
9 representatives on behalf of H Street
10 Festival. Would you like them to come up and
11 identify themselves?
12 CHAIR MILLER: Mr. Saleem is here
13 now?
14 MS. YAP: Yes.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Yes.
16 MS. YAP: And then we have another
17 person.
18 MR. AHN: Hi there. My name's
19 Paul Ahn, A-H-N, with H Street Main Street.
20 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. So in
21 general, the way we're going to proceed is
22 we're going to hear about the festival in
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 18
1 general from Mr. Saleem.
2 And then if there's anything else
3 you will need to add, that will be fine at
4 this point to get the overview of the
5 festival. I think and then we may give some -
6 - yes, sir?
7 You won't be on the mic unless you
8 come forward, though. So you'll have to come
9 forward to the mic.
10 MR. GRAY: Okay. I'm not familiar
11 with this type of hearing or the proceeding,
12 but is it possible since we're right across
13 the street from Granville Moore's, that if
14 there's any information that needs to be
15 conveyed or you need a representative, that I
16 could fill in as their representative? With
17 them not being here.
18 CHAIR MILLER: Well --
19 MR. GRAY: I'm just asking.
20 CHAIR MILLER: You can give them
21 information, but I think --
22 MR. GRAY: I think he might be out
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 19
1 of town.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: What's your
3 affiliation with Granville Moore?
4 MR. GRAY: They're right across
5 the street from us, so you know, we obviously
6 have a natural interaction. I worked with
7 Teddy on D.C. Beer week this past year, which
8 went very well.
9 We had a large social
10 responsibility component built in. I just
11 want to make sure that they can possibly
12 proceed through this hearing with me as a
13 representative, if possible.
14 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
15 MR. GRAY: If at all you can give
16 that consideration.
17 CHAIR MILLER: What's your name?
18 MR. GRAY: Miles Gray.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. What I was
20 going to say is there are some general things,
21 after we hear about the festival in general,
22 we're going to make some general statements
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 20
1 that would apply to everybody.
2 And then we're going to look at
3 different applications and groups of
4 applications.
5 So it kind of depends how good his
6 application is or whatever, I mean, what kind
7 of questions we might have. So I can't give
8 you a specific answer right this second.
9 MR. GRAY: Certainly understand.
10 Appreciate the consideration.
11 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, so hold on.
12 So what's your name again? Miles?
13 MR. GRAY: Miles Gray, M-I-L-E-S,
14 G-R-A-Y.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Right. For
16 Granville.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you are
18 actually representing whom?
19 MR. GRAY: Smith Commons. Right
20 across the street.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Smith Commons,
22 okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 21
1 CHAIR MILLER: Did they authorize
2 you to represent them or anything?
3 MR. GRAY: No, we've done a lot of
4 --
5 CHAIR MILLER: We just want it on
6 the record.
7 MR. GRAY: I'm sorry. No, we
8 worked together a lot in the past. I just
9 want to make sure that they're able to proceed
10 through this hearing.
11 CHAIR MILLER: All right, so
12 you're watching out for them. Okay. All
13 right. Do you want to introduce yourself for
14 the record, sir?
15 MR. SALEEM: Yes, good evening.
16 My name is Anwar Saleem.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, and then our
18 investigators, do you want to introduce
19 yourselves for the record?
20 MR. GHENENE: ABRA Investigator
21 Abyie Ghenene.
22 MS. MATHIESON: And ABRA
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 22
1 Investigator Erin Mathieson.
2 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, thank you.
3 All right, I don't know. Is it Ms. Yap or Mr.
4 Saleem who wants to give us the overview of
5 the festival?
6 MR. SALEEM: I will. First of all
7 --
8 CHAIR MILLER: Let me just say,
9 it's almost ten of five. So we're going to
10 watch the time a little bit. So we're really
11 interested in, like, you know, just a three
12 minute or whatever overview.
13 MR. SALEEM: Okay.
14 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
15 MR. SALEEM: First of all, I want
16 to apologize for being late. This is the
17 eighth H Street Festival that I've hosted.
18 And we don't use it basically, name it as a
19 festival.
20 It's name is a festival because
21 it's the best name. But we use it as a
22 marketing tool to help enrich and strengthen
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 23
1 the H Street quarter.
2 And with that, our festival, we
3 have been able to attract people like Daily
4 Rider, C.A.T. Walk Boutique and many other
5 businesses who started off as a vendor, and
6 they end up in the brick and mortar.
7 Not only that, you had that just
8 going up and down H Street with some of the
9 vendors that started off as vendors, and now
10 they're opening up as brick and mortars, as
11 restaurants, and bars.
12 We basically are sought after and
13 known all over the country right now because
14 of our work and our uniqueness of running a
15 festival.
16 It was named the best festival for
17 the last three years. And USA Today named us,
18 and they mentioned the festival as one of the
19 catalysts of being named, ranked number one of
20 becoming most up and coming commercial
21 districts in the country, we're ranked number
22 one because of that.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 24
1 Forbes Magazine, right after the
2 festival, named us the sixth hippest quarter
3 in the country, and they named the festival
4 again because of our uniqueness and our
5 approach to really having festivals.
6 This year, also, the National
7 Trust for Historic Preservation named us a
8 great American Main Street. And that's a
9 national award. And we received the highest
10 score.
11 In their 25 year history, we
12 received the highest score in regards to
13 revitalization. Again, we use the festival as
14 a revitalization tool, not just as a festival.
15 And it's used to bring people, basically, down
16 to H Street.
17 It's served as a Black Friday for
18 many of our businesses. It's the highest
19 earning day of the year. Not only that, our
20 residential areas strengthen themselves by the
21 number of people in reference to the vacancies
22 in their residential units.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 25
1 CHAIR MILLER: Thank you.
2 MR. SALEEM: Thank you.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Ms. Yap, did you
4 have something to add?
5 MS. YAP: Yes, I just want to fill
6 in the general information that the festival
7 is on Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
8 And all the businesses were
9 required to provide Certificate of Occupancy
10 part of their application because we're a
11 street festival.
12 We do have all the permits
13 necessary to shut the street, so it's not on
14 them to provide that information to you. It's
15 on us, so we want to do a blanket notification
16 that we have that for them.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Do Board
18 members have some questions for Mr. Saleem,
19 Anwar Saleem?
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, I do.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Go ahead.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Hello.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 26
1 MR. SALEEM: Hello.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: And Ms. Yap,
3 welcome. First of all, I wish you guys the
4 greatest success. I'm there every year. It's
5 great, I love it. And I have a, since that's
6 my neighborhood, a vested interest in seeing
7 it be successful.
8 So we're actually here to help.
9 You know, everybody wants to have a good time.
10 Everybody wants to make a profit, and
11 everybody wants this to continue.
12 So we want to make sure it goes
13 off without a hitch, and that you can keep
14 going for years to come.
15 So Anwar, I want to ask you some
16 basic questions which will help in our review
17 of the licenses that we have, and maybe short
18 circuit some of the questions that we have so
19 we can get people out of here quicker.
20 So first of all, I want to
21 clarify, all the service of alcohol's going to
22 be done by licensed vendors, individual
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 27
1 licensed vendors and there will be no alcohol
2 in, I'll say, the common area of the festival,
3 outside the confines of the licensed
4 establishments, the licensed areas, is that
5 correct?
6 MR. SALEEM: That's correct.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Do you have
8 volunteers or staff walking around to ensure
9 that no alcohol is being, that you're seeing
10 any alcohol?
11 MR. SALEEM: Well, we have two.
12 We have the Metropolitan Police this year,
13 which we are invoicing around $8,000. If we
14 don't have enough police out there, we also
15 have 230 volunteers to date signed up.
16 And we've been meeting with them
17 along the way up to this date. So they're
18 just not shallow volunteers, they are
19 volunteers coming out for work, also from the
20 Marine base.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, so who
22 do they contact if they see something amiss?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 28
1 MR. SALEEM: We have a volunteer
2 tent in the 900 block of H street, right next
3 to the scene and that's our volunteer tent.
4 It's centrally located.
5 We all have walkie talkies. Those
6 walkie talkies would be centralized to the
7 scene so we would be on the same channel. And
8 we have block coordinators and we have a lead
9 volunteer that would handle those concerns.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And so
11 they're given instructions not only about
12 alcohol service, but are they given --
13 MR. SALEEM: Overall --
14 MEMBER BROOKS: Are they briefed
15 on security issues and --
16 MR. SALEEM: On security issues,
17 yes. We have met with Tony with the
18 Metropolitan Police Department, and we have
19 been briefed and they have briefed us and we
20 told them basically what we want. And there's
21 going to be no tolerance in reference to the
22 rules of the festival.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 29
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great.
2 MS. YAP: May I add?
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sure.
4 MS. YAP: Everybody also have
5 wristbands. We all have our individual
6 wristbands and ways of carding people and
7 having alcohol. Nobody should have any cups
8 outside of the festival grounds or where the
9 alcohol is.
10 So all our volunteers are being
11 informed that should they see anybody that is
12 suspicious drinking with no wristband or they
13 just simply look suspicious walking around
14 with a cup of alcohol, the first thing we do
15 is report back to the command center, and then
16 we will inform MPD officer on site
17 immediately.
18 That's the policy we've installed
19 and we'll train every shift of volunteers that
20 come in with that basic information.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. Now just
22 logistics, I have some questions on logistics
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 30
1 which are -- it's a little confusing to me.
2 So the event goes basically the gates open at
3 12:00.
4 You're set up before that, but
5 gates open at 12:00. And it says all
6 activities stop at 7:00 a.m.
7 MS. YAP: P.m.
8 MEMBER BROOKS: 7:00 p.m.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: I mean 7:00 p.m.,
10 I'm sorry.
11 MS. YAP: We can go until next
12 day.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: So we have, for
14 the majority of the people that are here, they
15 are extending out on to the sidewalk, right?
16 MR. SALEEM: That's correct.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: So in general, I
18 see a lot of applications where they're
19 allowed to go from a front of a building, I'm
20 not talking about going across because that
21 varies by licensee, but they're allowed to go
22 from the front of the building into the curb
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 31
1 lane? Is that right?
2 MR. SALEEM: Yes, from the front
3 of the building to the first parking lot, the
4 white line in the parking, they can't go past
5 the first white line.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Past the first
7 parking lane.
8 MR. SALEEM: Right.
9 MS. YAP: Eight feet.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Where the end of
11 the bulb --
12 MR. SALEEM: It's eight feet.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: The bulb outs
14 define the parking lane and they can't go past
15 there?
16 MR. SALEEM: That's correct, they
17 can't go past the bulb-out.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. Is
19 that true for everybody?
20 MR. SALEEM: True for everybody.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're giving,
22 the public space is being allocated that way
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 32
1 to all the vendors?
2 MR. SALEEM: Everyone who applied
3 and we set the place. And then we have a ten
4 foot lane in the middle of the street with a
5 20 foot fire lane that we must have. And then
6 we have another walking area along the other
7 side of the ten foot lane.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: So I'm seeing
9 various ending hours for some of these
10 applicants. So it's a little confusing to me,
11 and I want to find out in general what's
12 happening with respect to your plans.
13 So at 7 o'clock, what happens to
14 that space they're allocated?
15 MR. SALEEM: Everything must shut
16 down, according to the festival. According to
17 the festival, everything must shut down at 7
18 o'clock.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: So does that mean
20 in terms of your expectations, for example, I
21 can't remember which, some establishments have
22 established summer gardens, okay?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 33
1 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Does that mean
3 that they have to return to their established,
4 I misspoke. Some of these licensees have
5 sidewalk cafes.
6 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So does that mean
8 that if they have a sidewalk cafe, they have
9 to pull everything back to the confines of
10 their sidewalk cafe?
11 MR. SALEEM: Yes, they do.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: At 7 o'clock?
13 MR. SALEEM: Yes they do.
14 Everything on the street side definitely have
15 to pull off, because we have to clear the
16 streets. We have to clear the streets by 10
17 o'clock.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: And that portion
19 of the sidewalk that's not part of their
20 current license?
21 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: So if they don't
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 34
1 have a sidewalk cafe, your expectation is that
2 they would cease operation, there would be no
3 customers, and they would start to close down?
4 MR. SALEEM: That's correct.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Okay, just
6 so that I know what to expect when I'm looking
7 at these applications.
8 MS. YAP: We provide majority of
9 the equipment, and we will pull the equipment
10 at 7:00.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. Very
12 good. This is helpful. I just want to make
13 sure. And I don't have to ask everybody the
14 same question. This is very helpful to me.
15 I think that's all the questions I
16 have of the organizers right now.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Mr. Brooks, did you
18 have any?
19 MEMBER BROOKS: No. I don't have
20 anything.
21 CHAIR MILLER: I just want to know
22 if are there any uniform rules that the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 35
1 festival has that applies to the service of
2 alcohol by the individual establishments?
3 MR. SALEEM: Yes. The individual
4 establishments must be fenced in. They must -
5 -
6 CHAIR MILLER: Have what?
7 MR. SALEEM: They must be fenced
8 in their confined area.
9 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
10 MR. SALEEM: They must be fenced
11 in, they have to ID their patrons according to
12 the rules of this body.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
14 MR. SALEEM: And they have to
15 follow those regulations. At 7:00, they must
16 cease and desist all activity in reference to
17 the gardens that's on the street side.
18 And all gates will come up at that
19 time, so there will be no type of protection
20 to define who you serve after that, so you
21 would be basically serving off the street if
22 you did, violating the rules of this
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 36
1 organization.
2 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. So I thought
3 I heard Ms. Yap mention wrist bands. Did you?
4 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
5 CHAIR MILLER: I mean, is there a
6 festival rule that says that all the
7 establishments must use wrist bands to
8 indicate a legal age?
9 MR. SALEEM: No.
10 CHAIR MILLER: No.
11 MR. SALEEM: No, because they're
12 not walking in the general public. They're
13 walking within the confines of their
14 establishment. So everyone has to have their
15 own means of identifying.
16 CHAIR MILLER: Their own means.
17 Okay.
18 MS. YAP: There is one thing,
19 though. The establishments must participate
20 with the H Street Festival. There are a lot
21 of other locations on site that are not part
22 of H Street Festival that did not sign up with
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 37
1 us.
2 We do not sanction their patios,
3 and we will send in the list of people who are
4 participating with us to the inspector so they
5 can cross check, so there's nobody who's sort
6 of hitchhiking on the festival that we do not
7 know about.
8 MR. SALEEM: They would have to
9 stay on their own.
10 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: So just want to
12 be clear on that. That means that --
13 MS. YAP: They cannot have a patio
14 because they did not register with us.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: They are not
16 allocated space in the street because they did
17 not participate, signed up with you?
18 MS. YAP: Correct.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Just so
20 for the record, Ms. Yap, so I know --
21 MR. SALEEM: That's according to
22 our insurance.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 38
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: I know I'm
2 getting into the weeds here.
3 MS. YAP: That's okay.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: You heard all the
5 names called. Are all the people we called
6 today signed up with you?
7 MS. YAP: I will get back to you
8 at the end of my presentation.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great, excellent.
10 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
11 MS. YAP: Everybody gets a second
12 chance. Thank you.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Wait, wait, wait.
14 I want to see if our investigators have any
15 questions.
16 MR. GHENENE: Yes, I have a
17 question. From what block to what block is
18 the festival?
19 MR. SALEEM: From the 400 block to
20 the 1300 block. And we can go up to 50 feet
21 into the first alley on the side streets. So
22 we get the 50 feet --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 39
1 MR. GHENENE: Fifty feet from each
2 corner?
3 MR. SALEEM: Right. Where you see
4 the parking meters? We can have activity up
5 to that first alley.
6 MR. GHENENE: And which side
7 streets?
8 MR. SALEEM: Both south and north.
9 We're really, the side streets starting from
10 the 500 block through the 1300 block.
11 MR. GHENENE: Okay. All of those
12 will be shut down?
13 MR. SALEEM: Yes, all of them shut
14 down.
15 MR. GHENENE: And will the
16 licensees that are requesting licenses from
17 us, will they have access to public space, the
18 utilization of that public space?
19 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
20 MR. GHENENE: Okay. Thank you.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Yes, Mr.
22 Brooks?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 40
1 MEMBER BROOKS: Just quickly. You
2 mentioned $8,000 have been allocated for
3 Metropolitan Police?
4 MR. SALEEM: Around 80, 80.
5 MS. YAP: Eighty.
6 MR. SALEEM: $80,000.
7 MEMBER BROOKS: How many policemen
8 are you talking about?
9 MR. SALEEM: I was in the back.
10 We have double police cars on every
11 intersection. You have one in the first
12 intersection, one coming through H Street.
13 So you have those group of police
14 cars going from 14th Street to 4th Street.
15 You have police cars at every intersection on
16 the ends.
17 Okay, and then we have about, I
18 think it's about 20 police officers throughout
19 the event itself, or more. And then we also
20 have volunteer cadets that are strewn
21 throughout the quarter also who volunteered.
22 MS. YAP: And that's three shifts.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 41
1 MR. SALEEM: Three shifts of
2 police officers.
3 MEMBER BROOKS: From 12:00 to
4 7:00?
5 MS. YAP: 4:00 a.m.
6 MR. SALEEM: No, from 4:00 a.m.
7 MEMBER BROOKS: 4:00 a.m.?
8 MR. SALEEM: 4:00 a.m. until
9 street closing.
10 MS. YAP: Ten o'clock.
11 MR. SALEEM: And we should be
12 finished about 10 o'clock.
13 MEMBER BROOKS: Okay, all right.
14 MS. YAP: When we close down the
15 street, MPD will have to assist us in doing
16 that, so their officers will be on site from
17 4:00 a.m. all the way until 10:00 p.m.
18 MEMBER BROOKS: Okay, all right.
19 MR. SALEEM: We have to have
20 enough police officers on site to help move
21 the crowd after the festival because people
22 seem they don't want to stop having fun.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 42
1 MEMBER BROOKS: I understand. All
2 right, thank you.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, I just want
4 to ask you a couple more basic questions. How
5 many years have you been doing this festival?
6 MR. SALEEM: This is my eighth
7 year.
8 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
9 MR. SALEEM: I've also had other
10 experiences with other festivals with large
11 companies and other areas throughout the city.
12 CHAIR MILLER: All right. And is
13 it a lot bigger this year than last year? Or
14 how would you characterize it?
15 MR. SALEEM: It's a lot bigger
16 because of the crowd we had last year. And we
17 asked the City last year to allow us to expand
18 it. They saw what was going on and they went
19 along with us this year. And they're really
20 happy that we're doing it. So they support us
21 100 percent right now.
22 CHAIR MILLER: So it's bigger in
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 43
1 space and blocks, right?
2 MR. SALEEM: That's correct.
3 CHAIR MILLER: And it's bigger in
4 number of participating establishments, right?
5 MR. SALEEM: That's correct.
6 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. And were
7 there any problems last year that you've
8 recognized that you've made changes in
9 reaction to?
10 MR. SALEEM: If it did, it was
11 real quiet.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
13 MR. SALEEM: But we still saw some
14 changes that we need to make ourselves. And
15 internally, we went and made those changes,
16 and we recommended those changes to the
17 Special Event Task Force also in reference to
18 some of the things we felt that we need to
19 change and some of the things they need to
20 change. And most of the time, they agreed.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Can you give me an
22 example of what you've changed?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 44
1 MR. SALEEM: In reference to the
2 patios, the way we deal with --
3 MS. YAP: Fire lane.
4 MR. SALEEM: -- the fire lanes,
5 the way we deal with the fire lanes. The way
6 we eliminate the bottlenecks, and also then
7 with traffic control planning.
8 We are more extensive on our
9 traffic control planning with signs. Signs go
10 up tomorrow in some indications, and they
11 would be significantly placed throughout the
12 festival area for traffic flow.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Great, okay. Thank
14 you very much. So you're going to be here,
15 we'll be calling you back.
16 MS. YAP: We'll be here.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Yes. Okay, so the
18 way we're going to proceed at this point,
19 we've gotten the overview and we're going to
20 start getting into particular applications.
21 And there are some, a few that
22 were very thorough and we're going to deal
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 45
1 with those first so those people can go. They
2 won't involve much questioning, if any.
3 And we just wanted to say a few
4 words while you're all here so that you all
5 hear this before you leave. And this is very
6 basic, but I think that for some of you, it
7 may not be as basic.
8 What does it mean to comply, you
9 know, with our regulations on Saturday. And
10 I just want to tell you some just very basics
11 that you have in your head.
12 One, we were talking about serving
13 underage drinkers. You can't. You need to
14 check everybody's ID. And you cannot serve to
15 anyone under 21.
16 There cannot be any alcohol taken
17 outside of your property. There should be
18 someone at the entrance of your establishment,
19 and that's where you would be checking the
20 IDs.
21 There should also be someone
22 assigned to watching the crowds, because
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 46
1 sometimes at these festivals, you'll know that
2 it can get too crowded and that can be a
3 problem. So you should have someone do that.
4 Be careful about over service of
5 alcohol. And our investigators will be going
6 around to each of you in the morning, giving
7 you the signs that you'll need to put up and
8 you can ask them any questions at that point.
9 And they are the investigators
10 that are here today. Okay, that's my basic.
11 Do you have anything else you want to say in
12 general, before we get into the applications?
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Well, I just want
14 to emphasize some of the things that the Chair
15 has talked about. I know the festival, I know
16 your patios are going to be crowded.
17 It's going to be wall to wall
18 people, and I think it's a great thing,
19 hopefully you make a lot of money. And so
20 that's a good thing.
21 But you do have a responsibility.
22 So it's important that besides having someone
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 47
1 at the gate checking IDs, that you have
2 somebody monitoring the crowd and the
3 perimeter so that people aren't passing drinks
4 off to people in the street.
5 And that's a real danger, given
6 the crowds that you're going to have on your
7 patio. And people who have experienced this
8 all know that.
9 And our investigators are going to
10 be there, they're going to be watching. So
11 it's just important to be mindful of the
12 customers who don't want to cooperate.
13 Other than that, I really don't
14 think I have anything to emphasize.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. All right,
16 at the beginning of this hearing everyone
17 introduced themselves and said what
18 establishment they were with.
19 And I know that the woman in the
20 orange shirt came in later. Are you with an
21 establishment that's being considered?
22 MS. WEBB: No, I'm the expediter
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 48
1 for several of the --
2 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, you need to
3 actually, could you come forward and just
4 speak into the microphone because otherwise we
5 don't have you on the transcript.
6 (Off microphone comment)
7 MS. WEBB: I'm Cheryl Webb and I'm
8 the expediter for several of the businesses
9 here. I just submitted the applications for
10 them.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, are they
13 represented here by somebody else, or are you
14 representing some businesses?
15 MS. WEBB: No, I was just sitting
16 in here.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Oh, okay.
18 Listening, okay fine.
19 MS. WEBB: Yes.
20 CHAIR MILLER: All right, thank
21 you. And I guess before we get into this, the
22 applications, is there anything our
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 49
1 investigators want to add? No? Okay. Hello?
2 MR. COBURN: And I didn't get a
3 chance to introduce myself because I was
4 meeting with Mr. Bernard .I'm Skip Coburn.
5 I'm Executive Director of the D.C. Nightlife
6 Association. And I'm not representing anybody
7 for this festival.
8 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
9 MR. COBURN: I came to observe and
10 learn.
11 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, great. Thank
12 you. All right, now I think we have some
13 applications that we may have no questions on
14 and we may be able to tell you that you're all
15 set.
16 Or we may just have a very few
17 questions. So if you'll bear with me. Mr.
18 Alberti has that list.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, okay. I'm
20 sorry, I was -- all right. Yes, we reviewed
21 these. Some of these licenses, all right,
22 some of these licenses I'm going to have some
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 50
1 questions, just real simple questions on
2 defining your space because it's not quite
3 clear in your application.
4 I'm going to assume unless you get
5 asked, that your hours are ending at 7:00.
6 That you're going to clear the sidewalk and go
7 back to your licensed premises at 7:00 p.m.
8 All right, that's an assumption.
9 I'm also assuming that you're not
10 going out farther than the curb lane. And we
11 shouldn't have that. I don't see that in any
12 applications.
13 So the applications that I think
14 are in good shape here are Vendetta,
15 Dangerously Delicious Pies, Red Rocks, The
16 Pug, Atlas Performing Arts Center, Boundary
17 Road, and SOL Mexican Grill.
18 So those applications we are
19 prepared to sign without any questions. The
20 other ones, we're going to call you up and ask
21 you questions.
22 It may result in having you make
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 51
1 minor changes to the applications. We're
2 going to try and get that done tonight so that
3 everyone gets cleared, and you know that
4 you're ready to go.
5 So the ones I've just spoke with,
6 I think we're prepared. Ms. Miller, we're --
7 CHAIR MILLER: I'm sorry.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: The one's I spoke
9 with, we're prepared to sign?
10 CHAIR MILLER: Yes.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
12 CHAIR MILLER: And I wanted to
13 tell them, I wanted to make sure that our
14 administrative office is closed, which it is.
15 So it wouldn't be able to be processed until
16 tomorrow morning.
17 But the ones that Mr. Alberti has
18 read off, the Board will be signing. We don't
19 have any questions, and you're free to leave
20 whenever you like.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Unless you're
22 curious and want to stick around.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 52
1 CHAIR MILLER: And it will be
2 available tomorrow morning to pick up. Okay.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Again, I want to
4 reiterate how much we appreciate you all
5 coming, because I know this is a busy time.
6 I know getting ready for Saturday is your
7 prime concern right now.
8 So why don't we just start by
9 calling a few of these forward and see if we
10 can get this thing cleared up. So H Street
11 Country Club, Star and Shamrock, Queen Vic and
12 Biergarten, if you guys want to come on up?
13 Can we bring up extra chairs, like
14 three or four at a time and just go through
15 these.
16 CHAIR MILLER: H Street Garden,
17 Beer, H Street --
18 MALE PARTICIPANT: H Street
19 Country Club?
20 MALE PARTICIPANT: You mentioned
21 just for the record, specifically about a few
22 seconds ago that the licenses would only go to
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 53
1 the curb.
2 CHAIR MILLER: We have to get you
3 on the mic.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm sorry, to the

9 like there's -- and how many entrances are you
10 having to your patio?
11 MR. MENARD: I have one listed on
12 the diagram, I believe. But we can do more if

8 CHAIR MILLER: I just heard
9 emergency and I --
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's going to get
11 better.
12 MR. GORDON: That's fine.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's going to get
14 better as we have fewer applications to get
15 through. So all right. So okay. So Big
16 Board, Rock N Roll Hotel, and Little Miss
17 Whiskey.
18 Didn't think you had the mystery
19 turn, Mr. Thorp. Okay, so Big Board, again we
20 have hours until 3:00 a.m. What's going on
21 with --
22 MR. FLANNERY: I just put my
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 75

1 MALE PARTICIPANT: No problem.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so I'm

4 little bit. Who's this for?
5 CHAIR MILLER: That's Queen Vic
6 from the previous panel.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, I'll come
8 back to that one. Why don't we come back to
9 that one after we deal with these three. Okay
10 so the Big Board --
11 (Off microphone comment)
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: I know. Big
13 Board, can we handle license with the Big
14 Board.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. I'll look
16 for it.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Rock N Roll
18 Hotel. I had a question about his. Oh you
19 know, I don't think we ever got a diagram for
20 Rock N Roll Hotel. I think that's what the
21 issue was for your space.
22 Okay, Shawn, thank you. If you
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 77
1 would just label that who it's with and I'll
2 set that aside. And Little Miss Whiskey, you
3 were going on until midnight. What's the deal
4 with those hours?
5 MR. THORP: I just put the extent
6 on there to cover my --
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Got you.
8 MR. THORP: Have a broad --
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Just fine. So
10 you'll change this, initial it and --
11 (Crosstalk)
12 CHAIR MILLER: There's something
13 more?
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Big Board, and
15 now I need Little Miss Whiskey.
16 CHAIR MILLER: And he has Rock N
17 Roll Hotel.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Rock N Roll
19 Hotel. This one goes with that piece of paper.
20 And then we're looking for Little Miss
21 Whiskey. Now, Mr. Gordon?
22 MR. GORDON: Yes?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 78
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: There's a note on
2 here that says that wasn't signed by -- your
3 application --
4 MR. GORDON: If you look on the
5 second page, I came back in, I put this in
6 well before anybody else had done it.
7 So I wanted to make sure it was
8 done within the 21 days or whatever, 14 days.
9 And we hadn't gotten anything back from H
10 Street Main Street yet.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right.
12 MR. GORDON: So I wanted to make
13 sure I had it put in. And then they had a
14 meeting to get that signature, so they did get
15 that signature.
16 So I brought it back the following
17 day and put it as an addendum onto the actual
18 one I already had.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
20 MR. GORDON: So if you look at
21 that second page, it's actually added on there
22 to the original --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 79
1 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, great.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, very good.

9 MR. GORDON: Yes.
10 CHAIR MILLER: No, it's the time.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: This is Shawn?
12 CHAIR MILLER: Wait, oh okay.

10 during your normal hours I can pay.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you for
12 your patience, guys.

Page 82
1 MR. MARTIN: That's fine.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're sitting
3 here because?
4 MR. MARTIN: I just turned in my
5 diagram and labeled it Rock N Roll Hotel.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so it's
7 good. We got it. We got it, but stay there.
8 MR. MARTIN: All right, I'll stay

12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes. What were
13 they supposed to do?
14 CHAIR MILLER: This says change
15 hours.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: No, they're cool.
17 CHAIR MILLER: They did, they did.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: They're cool, yes

20 CHAIR MILLER: They changed it.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: They're cool,
22 they're cool. All right, so Sticky Rice,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 83
1 Chuchacabra and Twelve?
2 MR. RUSSELL: Dangerously
3 Delicious, that was the good one.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: That was the good
5 one, you're good to go. Yes, you're good to
6 go. So Twelve, Mr. Gibson?
7 CHAIR MILLER: He's good to go.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, come on.
9 You stay there. We're doing Chuchacabra and
10 the Sticky Rice.
11 MR. MARTIN: Chupacabra.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Chupacabra, I'm
13 sorry. I've been pronouncing that ever since
14 you introduced it. I apologize.
15 MR. MARTIN: Everybody does.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so let's
17 start with Chupacabra. Well actually, let's
18 hold on to Chupacabra because okay. Oh,
19 Sticky Rice, we need Sticky Rice for a change
20 of hours.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: You have until
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 84
1 10:00 p.m.
2 MR. MARTIN: I apologize for that.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: There's a lot of
4 confusion, I understand. We just need to get
5 it straight, thank you.
6 MR. MARTIN: Not a problem.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're going
8 to change that. And Twelve, you have until
9 3:00 a.m. Now you heard what's going on --
10 MR. GIBSON: Yes, I just put down
11 my regular operation hours. So 7 o'clock it
12 is. Okay.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, I have
14 another question for you. From your diagram,
15 because you're on the corner I have to ask
16 this. Are you extending past the edge of your
17 property?
18 MR. GIBSON: No, Khan's is on the
19 corner.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, yes it is.
21 Well, it's kind of the same building so I'm
22 thinking --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 85
1 MR. GIBSON: Yes, it is the same
2 building.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, right.
4 MR. GIBSON: No, I'm in front of
5 my building.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, just in
7 front of your building out into the street.
8 I got you.
9 MR. GIBSON: Yes.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great. I
11 just wanted to clear that up. Great.
12 MR. GIBSON: Okay.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: So if you would
14 initial -- you have Twelve?
15 MALE PARTICIPANT: We have Twelve.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: If you would
17 change your hours and initial it, we're good
18 to go on that one.
19 MR. GIBSON: Okay.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you for
21 coming, appreciate it.
22 MR. GIBSON: No problem. Thank
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 86
1 you.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, now Mr.
3 Martin, on Chuchacabra --
4 MR. MARTIN: Very close.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: What was that?
6 MR. MARTIN: Very close.
7 Chupacabra.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Chupacabra. I'm
9 going to practice. Okay, so you've got this
10 confusion here with how you've got this
11 outdoor area that I've talked to you before
12 about because you've come in before.
13 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: So where are you
15 going to be?
16 MR. MARTIN: We have the outdoor
17 area, the public space that's been approved by
18 DDOT. And we also have the eight feet going
19 in front of the facade of the building, in
20 front of H Street, and it's connected.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so you're
22 coming straight out, so you've got -- okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 87
1 MR. MARTIN: Sorry about that.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: So Mr. Ghenene,
3 if this is confusing, maybe we can get him to
4 amend this. But he's on the corner of 9th and
5 H, right?
6 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you've got
8 public space already, which goes along 9th
9 Street.
10 MR. MARTIN: Along 9th Street,
11 yes.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Along the
13 building, along 9th Street.
14 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're going to
16 come forward in that same line of the edge of
17 a public space --
18 MR. MARTIN: Correct, and extend
19 it to H street.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- towards the
21 street and into the curb lane, is that
22 correct?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 88
1 MR. MARTIN: Towards the curb
2 lane, but not past where the first lane is.
3 So only --
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, into the
5 curb lane --
6 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- just like
8 everyone else straight on to --
9 MR. MARTIN: Yes.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- across that
11 side walk on H Street.
12 MR. MARTIN: Exactly.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. So
14 the hours. Are you going to be operating
15 until 7:00 p.m.?
16 MR. MARTIN: 7:00 p.m. on the
17 extension, yes, in the public space. Then we
18 will retract to our public space after that.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. You don't
20 --
21 MR. MARTIN: The DDOT public
22 space, not the festival public space.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 89
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, I'm not
2 sure what your license is on the rest of that
3 space.
4 MR. MARTIN: I just got that about
5 five minutes ago.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Excellent. So
7 you will pull back to your licensed space at
8 7:00 p.m., is that correct?
9 MR. MARTIN: Correct. Until --
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: So what I would
11 say is you need to change this to 7:00 p.m.
12 because this only applies to the extended
13 space or the special permit.
14 MR. MARTIN: Okay, got it.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: So if you would
16 change this?
17 (Off microphone comments)
18 MR. MARTIN: Did I just say that
19 for Chupacabra?
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Chupacabra, yes.
21 MR. MARTIN: Okay.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Did you change it
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 90
1 already?
2 MR. MARTIN: That was good. Your
3 pronunciation.
4 CHAIR MILLER: Do we have that
5 pulled?
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: No, Chupacabra.
7 CHAIR MILLER: I know, I'm looking
8 for it.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, we're going
10 to get you that one, you'll change the hours
11 to 7:00 and we're good to go.
12 MR. MARTIN: Perfect, thank you.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you. Thank
14 you for your patience.
15 MR. GHENENE: Mr. Alberti?
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes?
17 MR. GHENENE: I have a couple of
18 questions.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sure.
20 MR. GHENENE: First of all, I'm
21 familiar with the block where Chupacabra is.
22 So you're going to wrap around the entire
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 91
1 block, 9th Street to H Street? That's going
2 to be all cordoned off?
3 MR. MARTIN: Correct. For the
4 public space, we have to the edge of the
5 building and then going along the wind flies
6 of 9th Street down.
7 MR. GHENENE: Okay.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're going
9 to be the width of Stan's?
10 MR. MARTIN: Correct. Running
11 parallel.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
13 MR. GHENENE: Very good.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you for
15 clearing that. So the whole width is Stan's
16 out to the street, and then wrap around the
17 side of the building into your DDOT licensed
18 space --
19 MR. MARTIN: Exactly, it's going
20 to be an L.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- permanent
22 licensed space?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 92
1 MR. MARTIN: Yes.
2 MR. GHENENE: And I also know that
3 Chupacabra's a pretty small establishment.
4 Where are you getting staff from as far as
5 security is concerned, things of that nature?
6 MR. MARTIN: We have security from
7 Sticky Rice that is going to be stationed
8 there.
9 MR. GHENENE: Okay. And then you
10 indicated that your request is to use some of
11 the uses license, I'm not sure if it's a moot
12 point now that you've got this one. That
13 would be inside?
14 MR. MARTIN: I think it is because
15 originally we were going for the one day --
16 MR. GHENENE: Sure.
17 MR. MARTIN: -- we didn't think
18 that this was going to come through. So just
19 wanted to cover all the basis.
20 MR. GHENENE: So that was just for
21 the restaurant?
22 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 93
1 MR. GHENENE: And you requested
2 inside use?
3 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
4 MR. GHENENE: Okay.
5 MR. MARTIN: But now that we have
6 the permanent one --
7 MR. GHENENE: Sure. Okay, that's
8 clear. And then I guess I'll just make a
9 recommendation that once the barriers are
10 pulled and you are back to your licensed
11 premise, I would recommend that you establish
12 a barrier because it may be people don't
13 understand that they can't go beyond it
14 because that sidewalk all looks the same.
15 MR. MARTIN: Exactly. What we'll
16 do is we will just close off the section and
17 it will just go back to being just a straight
18 line instead of an L shape.
19 MR. GHENENE: I guess what I'm
20 suggesting is, and I haven't been there in the
21 last week or so, but I do know that you have
22 that outdoor seating area, but there's no
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 94
1 defined barricade of where your property --
2 MR. MARTIN: Okay. We have the
3 barricades in the offshoot photo.
4 MR. GHENENE: No, not the ones
5 that are issued for the festival.
6 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
7 MR. GHENENE: Your own private
8 ones.
9 MR. MARTIN: Those are already up
10 right now.
11 MR. GHENENE: Fantastic.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you've got
13 your own permanent space fenced in?
14 MR. MARTIN: Correct. Already
15 today.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: And it will be at
17 7:00 p.m. fenced into that --
18 MR. GHENENE: That's fine, okay.
19 MR. MARTIN: We'll just shut the
20 door to the other public space.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Excellent, very
22 good. Thank you. And you're not using the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 95
1 building at all? You're using your place but
2 not Stan's?
3 MR. MARTIN: Correct.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. I
5 understand, great. I think we're good.
6 MR. MARTIN: I just need to sign
7 off on my --
8 CHAIR MILLER: We're not totally
9 good yet.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sign off on what?
11 MR. MARTIN: The time change for
12 Chupacabra.
13 CHAIR MILLER: The application.
14 MR. MARTIN: The application, I
15 only signed the one for Sticky Rice.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Was that
17 Chupacabra?
18 CHAIR MILLER: No. That isn't. I
19 haven't located it.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: You haven't
21 located Chupacabra?
22 CHAIR MILLER: What happened with
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 96
1 those?
2 MR. GHENENE: It doesn't say
3 Chupacabra.
4 CHAIR MILLER: It's under a
5 different name?
6 MR. MARTIN: It doesn't say
7 Chupacabra.
8 CHAIR MILLER: Right.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: It will say Jason
10 Martin on the --
11 CHAIR MILLER: Jason, okay, all
12 right.
13 CHAIR MILLER: -- top. If you
14 could actually have a seat in the back, we'll
15 continue and if you wait, Mr. Martin, that
16 will be great. Thank you, so we can continue
17 here.
18 (Off microphone comments)
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, so he
20 got them out of order. Great, I got you.
21 Okay.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Just before he
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 97
1 leaves, I just want to make sure, he
2 represented a few different establishments.
3 Are they all set?
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: I think so.
5 Well, you want to ask him?
6 CHAIR MILLER: He represented
7 Sticky Rice.
8 MR. MARTIN: Sticky Rice, Rock N
9 Roll Hotel, Chupacabra, and Dangerously
10 Delicious, but that got the nice waiver
11 because it was done correctly.
12 CHAIR MILLER: And what happened
13 to Rock N Roll?
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're not doing
15 --
16 MR. MARTIN: Yes, Rock N Roll.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: But you gave us -
18 -
19 MR. MARTIN: The diagram was --
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: You gave us the
21 diagram for Rock N Roll?
22 MR. MARTIN: Yes.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 98
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right?
2 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, good. All
3 right.
4 MR. MARTIN: Thank you.
5 CHAIR MILLER: Thank you.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you for
7 coming. Okay, so now we're going to go on to,
8 I think, all the rest are, now let's do the --
9 MR. MARTIN: I have one question
10 to ask. What's the fee tomorrow?
11 CHAIR MILLER: Come to the table.
12 MR. MARTIN: I'm sorry, I
13 apologize. What's the fee for the Substantial
14 Change License tomorrow?
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're asking the
16 wrong person.
17 MR. MARTIN: Oh. That's fine.
18 All right, thank you.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: $300. Okay. All
20 right, so you know, I'm going to do these
21 later. Okay, so I'm going to do next I'm
22 going to do three of the temporary licenses.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 99
1 And one is Taylor Gourmet, one is Shawafel,

15 Mr. Hahn, Shawafel is --
16 CHAIR MILLER: Right.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: And Mr. Migues is
18 here because you're right next door to
19 Shawafel so I thought I would bring you up all
20 together.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, good.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, so
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 100
1 Taylor Gourmet, let's see. Oh, I know. I
2 just wanted to make sure we're understanding.
3 You don't have a permanent liquor license,
4 right?
5 MR. HAHN: No, we do not have a
6 permanent liquor license.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Are you going to
8 be serving inside during the day? Is this
9 application to serve inside during the day?
10 MR. HAHN: The application is to
11 serve on our extended patio extending into the
12 curb lane and allow for consumption on the
13 patio as well as inside the existing
14 restaurant.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: As well as
16 inside.
17 MR. HAHN: Solely for the day,
18 until 7:00 p.m., last call being at 6:30.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, excellent.
20 So all right, very good. It's what I needed

22 MR. HAHN: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 101
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you. Is

3 MR. GHENENE: It is.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great. Mr.
5 Sisi? Oh there you are. Sorry.
6 MR. SISI: Yes.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm terrible with

10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Let's see. Okay,
11 again are you serving until 7:00 p.m. inside?
12 MR. SISI: Yes, sir.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're going to
14 allow consumption inside and out?
15 MR. SISI: Yes, sir.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: And it shuts down
17 all at 7:00 p.m.?
18 MR. SISI: Yes, sir.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Last call is
20 when?
21 MR. SISI: Yes.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. I'm going
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 102

2 before we leave. But okay, now the gentleman,
3 Mr. Migues? Okay, I'm not familiar with your
4 -- what's your restaurant?
5 MR. MIGUES: Chicken Tortilla.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, Chicken
7 Tortilla. You're fairly new, I think, aren't
8 you?
9 MR. MIGUES: Correct.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: So I'm not, okay.
11 MR. MIGUES: We're in construction
12 yet.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. I was like
14 okay, there's nothing in that building. Did
15 I miss something? All right, so you're using
16 the interior?
17 MR. MIGUES: Oh, no. No, it's
18 just the --
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: So everything's
20 on the exterior. Are you serving food at all?
21 MR. MIGUES: Yes.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: From where?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 103
1 Where are you getting, just out of curiosity,
2 food?
3 MR. MIGUES: Oh, we have a
4 charcoal rotisserie oven.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, outside?
6 MR. MIGUES: Outside.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great.
8 Okay. And again, you're just until 7:00 p.m.
9 and you'll be breaking everything down.
10 There'll be no activities inside.
11 MR. MIGUES: No activities inside.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So you're
13 just the exterior. Okay, so you gentlemen,
14 you have to know that we're giving temporary
15 licenses. It is required, absolutely required
16 that you or an ABC licensed manager, someone
17 who has a license to be manager from ABRA, is
18 present the entire time that you're serving.
19 MR. MIGUES: All right.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay? Who is
21 going to be doing ID checking for you all?
22 Why don't we start with Mr. Sisi.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 104
1 MR. SISI: I have three volunteers
2 assigned for that. One that's checking the
3 barricade, so no alcohol beyond that point.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
5 MR. SISI: And I have one that's
6 assisting the cashier who's going to check
7 IDs, an adult obviously, that's checking IDs.
8 And one that's circulating between inside and
9 outside, making sure that no one is handing
10 out alcohol to, you know, people.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: What experience
12 does this person who's checking IDs have?
13 MR. SISI: They're all restaurant
14 people. I've worked with them for about ten,
15 twelve years. They are friends of mine, and
16 we're all experienced restaurateurs.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. I want
18 everything to go smoothly for you, so I'm --
19 MR. SISI: Yes, I want everything
20 to go smoothly, also.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- mindful. It's
22 the same questions for you, Mr. Hahn.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 105
1 MR. HAHN: Yes. It will be a
2 combination of four individuals. Myself, Yu-
3 yee Chiang, which is ABRA number 092000.
4 And then another ABRA certified
5 TIPS manager, Frank D'Angelo. I don't have his
6 number on me right now.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
8 MR. HAHN: And then Mr. Rob
9 Coppock who is the chief operating officer for
10 all of Taylor Gourmet restaurants.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so just
12 remind your board approved managers to have
13 their cards with them.
14 MR. HAHN: Yes, they've already
15 been told that.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. And Mr.
17 Migues, same questions.
18 MR. MIGUES: Yes, we're going to
19 have three people. And we're going to have a
20 gate so everybody have to go through the gate,
21 everybody have to show their ID before they
22 get in there.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 106
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And who's going
2 to do the ID checking?
3 MR. MIGUES: Well, we're on turns.
4 So three people, myself --
5 MR. STAFILATOS: And me.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: And who are you?
7 Introduce yourself please.
8 MR. STAFILATOS: What's that? I'm
9 sorry.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Please introduce
11 yourself.
12 MR. STAFILATOS: Oh, I'm sorry.
13 Demetrios Stafilatos with IS Enterprises.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
15 MR. STAFILATOS: Basically, this
16 is one of my bosses. They own both IS
17 Enterprises and Chicken Tortilla. So they're
18 just kind of sourcing my services because I'm
19 easy to get at.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Does
21 anyone, any volunteers have experience with
22 checking IDs?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 107
1 MR. MIGUES: We already have
2 people from the new restaurant that will have
3 to be on the side. The bartenders and --
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, from the
5 restaurant that you're planning to open?
6 MR. MIGUES: Or we'll bring in
7 people from the other --
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, from your
9 current restaurant, your current restaurant
10 being?
11 MR. MIGUES: Chicken Tortilla.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, I don't know
13 the location.
14 MR. MIGUES: 8th Street.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. You all
16 have the ID checking books, that's great.
17 Investigators, Mr. Ghenene, any questions?
18 MR. GHENENE: Just to be real
19 careful about monitoring for underage
20 drinking. I can almost guarantee we're going
21 to do ID checks. So just be monitoring that.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 108
1 CHAIR MILLER: I have a question.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sure. Go ahead.
3 CHAIR MILLER: So this is for Mr.
4 Migues and Mr. Sisi. Your establishments are
5 going to use outdoor sidewalk cafes? Are you
6 going to go out to the patio or a sidewalk
7 cafe?
8 MR. MIGUES: Yes.
9 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Are you
10 using special fencing around the patio?
11 MR. STAFILATOS: Yes we are.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Is it related to
13 the festival's general fencing or what?
14 MR. MIGUES: No, no. We would
15 have, at the other restaurant too, we have a
16 patio with a steel fence that's removable. We
17 will bring it back to this place so we will
18 not use the barriers.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, fine. And
20 Mr. Migues, can you answer that?
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: No, Mr. Sisi.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Mr. Sisi, I'm
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 109
1 sorry.
2 MR. SISI: We're just going to use
3 general fencing.
4 CHAIR MILLER: What?
5 MR. SISI: We always use general
6 fencing as a front from the festival.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So this is the
8 fencing, just to be clear --
9 MR. SISI: It's a barricade.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- this is the
11 fencing that's being provided by the festival
12 organizers, is that correct?
13 MR. SISI: Yes.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. That was
15 the question, okay. All right.
16 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Yes, it
17 wasn't exactly clear on the diagram that there
18 was going to be a fence there. I understood
19 though that she said everyone is required to
20 do that.
21 MR. SISI: Right.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Thank you.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 110
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, I think it's
2 understood everyone's going to be fenced in.
3 MR. SISI: We did it last year,
4 we'll do it this year.
5 CHAIR MILLER: All right.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes. You did a
7 good job last year. I walked by. So okay.
8 You look puzzled.
9 MR. GHENENE: No, no.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, cool. All
11 right, great. You guys are --
12 CHAIR MILLER: You're missing --
13 MS. MATHIESON: I just want to
14 make sure they pick up some ID books, because
15 we had discussed it. Great. And make sure
16 you just review them and kind of go over it
17 with your staff.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. Just
19 great to have in general. So I guess there's
20 no changes for your applications. Let me give
21 you these three and you can pull them out and
22 we can --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 111
1 CHAIR MILLER: I have the
2 originals right here.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great.
4 CHAIR MILLER: So I will just put
5 them in the okay pile.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Question?
7 MR. STAFILATOS: Just one
8 question. I believe in the application that we
9 submitted, we said that we were going to stop
10 at 6:00. I just want to make sure --
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Whose? From?
12 MR. STAFILATOS: Chicken Tortilla.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Not the one I
14 have.
15 MR. STAFILATOS: Okay.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: It says 12:00
17 p.m. until 7:00.
18 MR. STAFILATOS: Okay, just
19 clarifying that just to make sure.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, you have a
21 seven that almost looks like a four here, but
22 I know it's a seven.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 112
1 MR. STAFILATOS: It's a seven.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's a seven.
3 (Crosstalk)
4 CHAIR MILLER: David Hahn?
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: We're
6 interpreting it as a seven. That's what's
7 important. Thank you guys for coming. Best
8 of luck out there.
9 MR. MIGUES: Thank you, sir.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, let's
11 continue. We're not doing too badly.
12 CHAIR MILLER: We're doing great.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm going to say
14 Smith Commons.
15 MS. YAP: I'm sorry to interrupt.
16 Da Luft is here.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Pardon?
18 MS. SOLAJA: Da Luft Restaurant
19 and Lounge, 124218.
20 CHAIR MILLER: Is that you?
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so you're
22 from Da Luft?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 113
1 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, I am.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Why don't you
3 just have a seat because we're going to get to
4 you, all right?
5 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, just have a
7 seat and I'll allow you to introduce yourself
8 and we'll get to you.
9 MS. SOLAJA: All right, no
10 problem.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Absolutely.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, so
14 okay. This is, why don't we have the H Street
15 Playhouse, Mr. Hawkins come forward.
16 MR. HANKINS: Hankins.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Hankins, I'm
18 sorry. Mr. Hankins, yes. And we're not going
19 to be here until 1:30, Mr. Hankins.
20 MR. HANKINS: Right. Sounds good
21 to me.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, and Mr. Holt,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 114
1 if you would come forward, too. Okay. So I'm
2 going to, if you guys can introduce yourselves
3 and who you're with.
4 MR. HANKINS: Sure. Frank Hankins
5 representing H Street Playhouse.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
7 MR. HOLT: Ian Holt with Impala.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great. So
9 I'm going to start with Mr. Hankins. You are
10 going to have, let's start with your sidewalk
11 cafe. Is this a sidewalk cafe until 7:00?
12 MR. HANKINS: Yes, it is.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And it
14 just spans the front of the building?
15 MR. HANKINS: That's correct.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: And how many
17 entrances and exits will you have from that
18 side?
19 MR. HANKINS: One.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: One, okay great.
21 So the question for you was what's happening
22 inside? Tell us a little bit about what your
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 115
1 plans for the inside are.
2 MR. HANKINS: Sure. So I'm sure
3 you're familiar with the Playhouse, Mr.
4 Alberti.
5 There is the section, I guess what
6 you would call the reception area, that's the
7 only area that's going to be open up until
8 5:00 p.m. because we're going to sell tickets
9 for people to get alcohol. We don't want to
10 have money exchanged outside if at all
11 possible.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
13 MR. HANKINS: So we're going to
14 sell tickets for people to exchange at their
15 ticket booth inside the Playhouse.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: In the lobby?
17 MR. HANKINS: In the lobby area
18 for people to purchase beer. And the actual
19 theater section of the Playhouse won't open
20 until 5:00 p.m., at which time we have live
21 music starting then.
22 But since there's a stage right
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 116
1 outside of our front door, we don't want to
2 compete with the stage out front until later
3 in the evening.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you are asking
5 for a license for consumption, well let's put
6 it this way, make things simple. You're
7 asking for a license for consumption in the
8 lobby and the sidewalk?
9 MR. HANKINS: Correct.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: When does the
11 theater part open?
12 MR. HANKINS: 5:00 p.m.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: 5:00 p.m., okay.
14 So you're asking for a license for consumption
15 for the sidewalk until 7:00 p.m., right?
16 MR. HANKINS: The sidewalk and
17 lobby until 7:00 p.m.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Hold on, let's --
19 MR. HANKINS: Yes. Correct, yes.
20 That's correct.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're asking for
22 the lobby basically all day until --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 117
1 MR. HANKINS: Until last call.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- the whole
3 time?
4 MR. HANKINS: Correct.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: From 12:00 p.m.
6 until 11:45?
7 MR. HANKINS: Correct.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right. And then
9 the interior from 5:00 p.m. until?
10 MR. HANKINS: Until 11:45.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And the
12 interior, you're going to have live
13 entertainment?
14 MR. HANKINS: Yes, that's correct.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: What kind of live
16 entertainment?
17 MR. HANKINS: Yes, bands from
18 Capitol Hill.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. How many
20 people are you expecting?
21 MR. HANKINS: At that hour, not
22 any more than 100 to 150.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 118
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So it's
2 important that we know. So 150 max --
3 MR. HANKINS: A hundred and fifty,
4 max.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- is what you're
6 planning on?
7 MR. HANKINS: Yes.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: What kind of
9 security will you have for the inside in the
10 evening?
11 MR. HANKINS: We have three
12 security people that are going to be working
13 with us all day.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Are they
15 going to be tired at night?
16 MR. HANKINS: They may be, but
17 they're getting paid.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, okay. I
19 see puzzled looks here. So how does the ID
20 checking? I'm on the sidewalk, and now I want
21 to go in and see the bands in the evening.
22 How's that going to --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 119
1 MR. HANKINS: Okay, so during the
2 day --
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: How's the ID
4 checking working because you're selling
5 tickets so explain it to me.
6 MR. HANKINS: Sure. During the
7 day, starting at noon we will have, as I
8 mentioned, one entrance into the gated area.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
10 MR. HANKINS: We will have one
11 security person at that entrance checking IDs.
12 Since we're not selling really anything other
13 than alcohol, we will have soft drinks, but
14 we're going to card right at the gate.
15 We're also going to have a second
16 security person immediately outside the gate
17 just to monitor to make sure nobody's passing
18 alcohol over the gate or just that people
19 aren't trying to sneak in.
20 And then our third person will be
21 inside the lobby, and this is up until 7:00
22 p.m. Once we start the music at 5:00 p.m. and
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 120
1 once the festival stops at 7:00 p.m., the
2 security people will be inside, in which case
3 we'll have one person stationed at the
4 entrance to the actual building of H Street
5 Playhouse checking IDs. And we are going to
6 use wristbands during the whole day of the
7 festival.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Okay.
9 Will you be there the entire day?
10 MR. HANKINS: I'll be there the
11 whole day. I'll be there at 8 o'clock in the
12 morning until midnight.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And you
14 understand the need for, you're experienced,
15 you understand the need for a licensed
16 manager?
17 MR. HANKINS: I do. Yes, we'll
18 have at least three people there with ABC
19 licenses.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great. Mr.
21 Ghenene, any questions?
22 MR. GHENENE: Yes, thank you Mr.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 121
1 Alberti. You represented to the Board that
2 you're going to make sure that 150 people is
3 your maximum occupancy inside the Playhouse?
4 MR. HANKINS: Correct.
5 MR. GHENENE: How are you going to
6 make sure that you don't go past that number?
7 MR. HANKINS: We can get a
8 clicker, if it's necessary.
9 MR. GHENENE: Okay. And the only
10 reason I ask is because --
11 MR. HANKINS: The occupancy for
12 the building is much larger than that.
13 MR. GHENENE: No, I get that. And
14 I think we had spoke about that.
15 MR. HANKINS: Right, right.
16 MR. GHENENE: You know, I think
17 that this year's festival as represented by
18 the Main Street licensees is going to be
19 significantly larger.
20 And I guess we just want to make
21 sure that you're properly equipped to handle
22 larger crowds. So in the event that, if it's
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 122
1 not going to be 150, then you know, you need
2 to speak on that.
3 MR. HANKINS: No, understood.
4 Well, as I've mentioned to the board, the fact
5 that the larger area of the whole Playhouse is
6 going to be closed all the way up until 5:00
7 p.m., we probably can't even fit 150 people
8 between the lobby and the outside space.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sure.
10 MR. HANKINS: And once the
11 festival's over, I expect that a lot of people
12 aren't going to stick around.
13 They're probably going to be spent
14 and, you know, we're going to have a number of
15 bands that are inviting people from Capitol
16 Hill area and their friends. But I can't
17 imagine it's going to be any more than 150
18 people.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. That's
20 your choice, because we're going to go by
21 that, all right?
22 MR. HANKINS: Yes.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 123
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And partly we
2 need to know because we need to know what
3 expectation and number of security. And you
4 have three security for 150 people. You're
5 within our guidelines.
6 CHAIR MILLER: And I just wanted
7 to --
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, go ahead.
9 I don't know who you want to call.
10 CHAIR MILLER: I was just curious
11 about those 150 people, and if the space can
12 accommodate more than 150 people, and you're
13 having bands, is that what you're saying?
14 MR. HANKINS: Yes, that's correct.
15 CHAIR MILLER: So if you had 200
16 people who wanted to come hear the bands, are
17 you saying you would turn away 50 people.
18 MR. HANKINS: If we have to.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Well, I think --
20 MR. HANKINS: Okay. Well can I
21 amend and say 200?
22 CHAIR MILLER: Well, I think the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 124
1 issue is --
2 MR. HANKINS: Well I think the
3 issue is --
4 MR. HANKINS: I mean, because the
5 capacity of the building is much larger.
6 CHAIR MILLER: Right. Okay, I
7 just want to ask my investigators, too. But
8 I think the issue is not that you couldn't
9 have 200, but if you had 200, you would need
10 to have more security.
11 MR. HANKINS: Okay. Well then
12 we're going to max it out at 150 because we
13 have three security people.
14 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Yes, these
16 are local bands. So I understand your point
17 about not expecting a big crowd there.
18 MR. HANKINS: Right. Yes, they're
19 most of them from the neighborhood.
20 CHAIR MILLER: Ms. Mathieson has a
21 question.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 125
1 MS. MATHIESON: So I just want to
2 make sure I understand correctly, you're not
3 going to offer any food at all? It's alcohol
4 only?
5 MR. HANKINS: No, no, no. We do
6 have a vendor that's serving food.
7 MS. MATHIESON: Okay.
8 MR. HANKINS: 13th Street Meats is
9 serving food.
10 MS. MATHIESON: Where will they
11 be? In your lobby?
12 MR. HANKINS: 13th Street Meets,
13 because they have a propane tank, I mean,
14 they'll be outside in the beer garden area.
15 MS. MATHIESON: In the actual
16 alcohol service area will be the food vendor?
17 In your sidewalk cafe, your actual fenced in
18 area will be your food vendor?
19 MR. HANKINS: That's correct.
20 MS. MATHIESON: Okay.
21 MR. HANKINS: I mean, the way it's
22 going to be set up is it's going to be set up
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 126
1 to where their table is going to be on the
2 front. So it's going to almost act as a
3 barrier, similar to, so that people that
4 aren't coming in can purchase stuff from them
5 without having to come in.
6 MS. MATHIESON: So that after
7 7:00, your food would end?
8 MR. HANKINS: Correct.
9 MS. MATHIESON: So from 7:00 to
10 midnight would be alcohol only?
11 MR. HANKINS: They will likely
12 come inside, but there is outdoor public space
13 in the back where if they continue to use
14 their propane, they'll have to use the outdoor
15 private space.
16 MS. MATHIESON: Okay, so you have
17 no contract after 7:00?
18 MR. HANKINS: I'm sorry?
19 MS. MATHIESON: The food vendor
20 you have contracted after 7:00 p.m.?
21 MR. HANKINS: They said that they
22 may go up until 9:00, but it partly depends on
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 127
1 how much product they have left. And that's
2 why I don't want to say a time.
3 MS. MATHIESON: Okay. So your
4 security, are they trained for over service of
5 alcohol?
6 MR. HANKINS: Yes.
7 MS. MATHIESON: Because it's going
8 to be a long day and people get there at 12:00
9 and --
10 MR. HANKINS: Yes, well let me
11 state also, my name is on the application, but
12 I'm doing this as part of Brooklyn's Finest.
13 So there's three owners that are a part of
14 this. I'm just the representative.
15 MS. MATHIESON: Okay.
16 MR. HANKINS: So we have security
17 both coming from The Pug as well as from
18 Solly's Tavern on U Street.
19 MS. MATHIESON: Right.
20 MR. HANKINS: All three of us are
21 doing this together. I'm just the person on
22 the application.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 128
1 MS. MATHIESON: Okay. So they'll
2 be monitoring them for --
3 MR. HANKINS: Yes, so you'll have
4 myself, you'll have John Solomon who's also an
5 owner of an establishment --
6 MS. MATHIESON: Okay, I just want
7 to make sure you're aware of that because,
8 like I said, it will be a really long day.
9 And you know, if you don't have food and
10 everyone's just in there drinking and --
11 MR. HANKINS: I've done this for
12 the last six years on H Street. So yes, this
13 is my fifth festival.
14 MS. MATHIESON: Okay.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: I wasn't going to
16 ask just, I know Mr. Hankins.
17 MS. MATHIESON: Oh, okay.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: No, I'm glad you
19 asked. But Mr. Hankins is experienced.
20 MS. MATHIESON: Okay.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: The fellow board
22 members know that --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 129
1 MS. MATHIESON: Okay, okay.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right. You have
3 an establishment on H Street --
4 MR. HANKINS: Right, three doors
5 down, right.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- Brooklyn's
7 Finest and one of your partners --
8 MR. HANKINS: Right.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: One of your
10 partners, I guess you're partnering with the
11 person --
12 MR. HANKINS: Mr. Tomelden, who
13 was just here, but got dismissed because of
14 The Pug.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, from The
16 Pug, right.
17 MR. HANKINS: And John Solomon
18 from Solly's.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: He's right there
20 on H Street, right. Okay.
21 MR. HANKINS: The three of us are
22 doing the event together.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 130
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: So I am going to
2 actually have you amend where it says number
3 of people. Just cross out, it says 75,000 for
4 festival, and just leave 150 for us.
5 MR. HANKINS: Okay.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right?
7 Investigators, should I have him be more
8 specific on the hours for the portions, or do
9 you have enough information?
10 MR. GHENENE: I think we have
11 enough.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: You have enough,
13 because I don't want you guys to go out there
14 and be confused, and then have to, right. It
15 makes everything go smoother. So I'll just
16 have him do the max number. So this is --
17 CHAIR MILLER: I have it.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- Mr. Hankins.
19 And he's just going to leave where it says on
20 number 20, just leave the 150 for us and cross
21 out the rest and then initial it.
22 MR. HANKINS: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 131
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you're good.
2 Okay.
3 CHAIR MILLER: I'm just reviewing
4 your application.
5 MR. HANKINS: Sure.
6 CHAIR MILLER: And saw someone has
7 highlighted the fact that you didn't fill in
8 a -- certificate, which is, yes,
9 certification, your title. Do you have a
10 title?
11 MR. HANKINS: For one day?
12 CHAIR MILLER: I don't know.
13 MR. HANKINS: King. King for a
14 day.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. So this is
16 coming back to you and for just cross out that
17 75,000, correct?
18 MR. HANKINS: Seventy five
19 thousand?
20 CHAIR MILLER: Yes, 75,000 people
21 that you expect.
22 MR. HANKINS: Right, 75 people not
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 132
1 75,000.
2 CHAIR MILLER: It says 75,000 for
3 Festival and 150 for us.
4 MR. HANKINS: Oh, I see what
5 you're saying. As far, okay understood.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Just what I just
7 talked --
8 MR. HANKINS: I see what you're
9 saying. Yes, got it.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: You were going to
11 cross that.
12 MR. HANKINS: Got it, got it, got
13 it.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: We're dotting all
15 the i's and crossing all the t's. And thanks
16 for your patience. All right, so someone will
17 get that to you. Okay, so I will get to you
18 from Da Luft. Thank you. I haven't forgotten
19 that you're here. Mr. Holt?
20 MR. HOLT: Yes?
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: You are doing,
22 let me see. Oh, this is the properties at 138
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 133
1 and I'm sorry, 1358 and 1356 --
2 MR. HOLT: Yes.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- H street. So
4 okay, first of all, you have your hours until
5 8:00 p.m.
6 MR. HOLT: Yes.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Why is --
8 MR. HOLT: Well, I mean --
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Are you going to
10 go in, because this is interior?
11 MR. HOLT: Correct.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're going
13 outside also?
14 MR. HOLT: Well, it's the
15 courtyard between the two buildings.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
17 MR. HOLT: So it's not public
18 space.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, it isn't.
20 MR. HOLT: Right.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: So it's the
22 courtyard between the buildings. So you're
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 134
1 asking for servicing until 8:00 p.m.?
2 MR. HOLT: Yes.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, that's
4 fine.
5 MR. HOLT: Okay. Am I done?
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
7 MR. HOLT: Okay, I just wanted to
8 make sure.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you.
10 CHAIR MILLER: You have to come
11 back in tomorrow, you know.
12 MR. HOLT: Oh yes, for sure.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
14 MR. HOLT: Thank you.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, thank you
16 very much.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Well, I'll ask my
18 fellow board members, but it's not unusual to
19 give temporary licenses until 8:00 p.m.
20 because you're not going to be on public
21 space.
22 MR. HOLT: Correct.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 135
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're going to
2 be --
3 MR. HOLT: I know everything's
4 ending at 7:00. We just, since we're on the
5 private space, that extra hour --
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So before
7 we get to the --
8 CHAIR MILLER: I had a question
9 about that, though. So does the festival have
10 an issue with that?
11 MR. SALEEM: No.
12 CHAIR MILLER: No? Okay.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you Mr.
14 Saleem.
15 (Off microphone comments)
16 CHAIR MILLER: Well, maybe you
17 should get it on the record.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Introduce
19 yourself, Mr. Saleem.
20 MR. SALEEM: Anwar Saleem. We
21 were little concerned about people on the
22 street and impeding traffic after hours. They
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 136
1 off the street, in the gated area. We're fine
2 with that.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
4 MR. SALEEM: And I think it's
5 encouraging to help get some people off the
6 street to pull them inside of another place.
7 CHAIR MILLER: Right, that makes
8 total sense.
9 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
10 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, thank you.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right Mr.
12 Holt, this is the lot next to Gallery O, is
13 that correct?
14 MR. HOLT: That's correct.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. It
16 looks like, well from your diagram it looks
17 like you're using part of Gallery O. Can you
18 just tell me, if you could describe --
19 MR. HOLT: We're not using Gallery
20 O, but there's a section behind the gallery
21 that is technically a separate address.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 137
1 MR. HOLT: So I included that just
2 to be 100 percent clear.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're the
4 vacant lot that's adjacent to Gallery O?
5 MR. HOLT: Correct.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: And then --
7 MR. HOLT: That is 1356.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thirteen fifty-
9 six.
10 MR. HOLT: And then the little cut
11 out behind the gallery is technically theirs,
12 1354.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Are you
14 using any part of the gallery?
15 MR. HOLT: No.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Then we will not
17 expect any consumption or sales in the
18 Gallery, is that correct?
19 MR. HOLT: No.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, because I
21 know people will be coming and going.
22 MR. HOLT: They have their own
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 138
1 thing going.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so how do
3 they enter your area?
4 MR. HOLT: There's a fence along
5 the sidewalk. There's a gate and I'll have
6 security checking IDs right there.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Can they
8 enter --
9 MR. HOLT: There's no other way to
10 get in.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- license, can
12 they enter Gallery O?
13 MR. HOLT: No. I mean, they can
14 go in through --
15 (Crosstalk)
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- onto the
17 street.
18 MR. HOLT: They can go in through
19 Gallery O, and there is a door that goes out
20 to the patio, but it's not going to be open.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, that's
22 not an exit. That's not going to be open?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 139
1 MR. HOLT: No.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: So there'll be no
3 egress, people will not be coming, except on
4 the sidewalk, from the sidewalk, there will be
5 no people --
6 MR. HOLT: They won't go through
7 the --
8 (Crosstalk)
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- into or out of
10 your licensed area?
11 MR. HOLT: That's correct.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So you've
13 got the lot is between two buildings.
14 MR. HOLT: Right.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: And the back of
16 the buildings --
17 MR. HOLT: Another fence.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: What's the
19 fencing like?
20 MR. HOLT: It's a tall fence and
21 one gate to come in and out, and that's where,
22 like, the band will load in and out.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 140
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And will that be
2 secured?
3 MR. HOLT: There'll be another
4 security guard there, as well.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: So all of the
6 patrons will come and go from the street?
7 MR. HOLT: Correct.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. How many
9 people are you expecting?
10 MR. HOLT: We were --
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: At one time.
12 MR. HOLT: Two hundred.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Maximum 200?
14 MR. HOLT: Yes.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And how
16 many security people will you have?
17 MR. HOLT: I've got three plus the
18 three owners, and I have the manager's
19 license.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: You have a
21 manager's license?
22 MR. HOLT: Yes, I do.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 141
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Does anyone else
2 have a manger's license?
3 MR. HOLT: They have the training.
4 They haven't received the license yet.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So you
6 will have to be there the entire time.
7 MR. HOLT: Absolutely.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. No
9 problem. Okay, because if investigators show
10 up and you're not there and there's not a
11 licensed manager --
12 MR. HOLT: I'm not going anywhere.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- we're going to
14 --
15 MR. HOLT: I understand.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, all
17 right. Just as long as you know. All right,
18 we have to do this.
19 MR. HOLT: Sure.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: We have to treat
21 everybody the same, it's in our regs. Who's
22 doing ID checking?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 142
1 MR. HOLT: I'm sorry?
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Who's doing ID
3 checking?
4 MR. HOLT: We've hired a company,
5 they're called Awesome Security. They've done
6 this before. I just got the name, I laughed
7 myself.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Do they bill
9 themselves as having training for ID checking?
10 MR. HOLT: Yes.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. All right.
12 MR. HOLT: And I will go over it
13 with them ahead of time, as well.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Please do.
15 MR. HOLT: Yes, absolutely.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Because you're
17 responsible.
18 MR. HOLT: You better believe me,
19 I know.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Investigators?
21 Mr. Ghenene?
22 MR. GHENENE: I have a question.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 143
1 Are you guys going to have, like, and I can
2 explain my question, but are you guys going to
3 have portable restrooms on your property?
4 MR. HOLT: Yes.
5 MR. GHENENE: Okay.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Food, will you be
7 having food?
8 MR. HOLT: Pardon?
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Will you have
10 food? Will you serve food?
11 MR. HOLT: Yes, we're serving food
12 on the space in front of the building to the
13 sidewalk. We're serving until 7:00.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: In front of what
15 building?
16 MR. HOLT: Thirteen fifty-eight.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Which is to the
18 right of what I'm looking at.
19 MR. HOLT: Of the courtyard.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: To the right of
21 the vacant lot?
22 MR. HOLT: Correct.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 144
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you're
2 serving food there on the sidewalk out --
3 okay, so is there any consumption, there's
4 service of alcohol there?
5 MR. HOLT: No.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
7 MR. HOLT: Absolutely not. We'll
8 sell to people walking by. If they want to
9 take their food inside, they'll get their ID
10 checked first.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. Any other
12 questions, investigators?
13 MS. MATHIESON: Yes. I'm sure you
14 remember last year we had an issue where you
15 were after your, I guess it was 8 o'clock
16 hour. So you understand this year the --
17 MR. HOLT: Very much so.
18 MS. MATHIESON: -- sales
19 consumption employees are not -- ends at 8:00?
20 MR. HOLT: Yes.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: We really do
22 expect people to be out by 8:00.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 145
1 MR. HOLT: I understand.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: I know it's hard
3 when you're having fun.
4 MR. HOLT: I don't want to put
5 anyone at risk.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, so I
7 think there's really nothing to be amended on
8 your license. Are we good to go with this
9 one?
10 CHAIR MILLER: Yes, tomorrow.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, you
12 can come by tomorrow and pick up your license.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Do you have a
14 question?
15 MR. SALEEM: I have a question. I
16 was saying before, venues like his, it would
17 be good if they can go a couple hours longer
18 to help pull people off the street, versus
19 8:00 because we want to keep people off the
20 street.
21 I know he put it in for 8:00, but
22 if I was him and I known, I would asked him to
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 146
1 do longer hours because they're away from the
2 festival and that will help pull people off
3 the street for a period of time and keep that
4 traffic flowing, which I think we need, it
5 would be helpful.
6 So it's up to him to want that
7 from you guys. But I think it would be good.
8 CHAIR MILLER: Well, I want to
9 know what the applicant wants to do.
10 MR. HOLT: I would be happy going
11 until 9:00.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Until 9:00? Mr.
13 Ghenene?
14 MR. GHENENE: My only concern
15 would be that as we've kind of talked about
16 earlier, you're talking about now potentially
17 ten hour shift for three security guards
18 dealing with hundreds of people all day and ID
19 checking.
20 And that can wear on you. You
21 know, you're not as alert, you're not as
22 sharp.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 147
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: But you're hiring
2 a security company to do this?
3 MR. HOLT: Yes. I mean, we have
4 guys coming in that will be changing out at
5 the front.
6 CHAIR MILLER: They'll be
7 changing? The security?
8 MR. HOLT: In other words,
9 changing positions within. Obviously one
10 person isn't going to check the IDs for nine
11 hours.
12 We have other guys who are going
13 to be standing around telling people not to go
14 there, don't do that. They'll switch out.
15 CHAIR MILLER: But, I'm sorry,
16 it's the same three people --
17 MR. HOLT: Yes.
18 CHAIR MILLER: -- throughout that
19 time.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, the
21 other concern I have, Mr. Holt, is you don't
22 have another licensed manager.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 148
1 MR. HOLT: Okay.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: You can't be
3 expected to be there all day. I just, you
4 know, I don't know. We're going to hold you
5 to it.
6 MR. HOLT: Okay. I'm not going
7 anywhere.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: How does anyone
9 else feel about --
10 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, it's best at
11 7:00.
12 MR. HOLT: Until I lock the doors
13 and leave.
14 CHAIR MILLER: No, it's kind of up
15 to us because Mr. Ghenene's advising against
16 it, yes.
17 MR. GHENENE: I'm asking, I was
18 just asking about the security. And then the
19 other thing is if you added another hour of
20 service, would that mean that you add another
21 hour of food service, as well?
22 MR. HOLT: No, because it's on the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 149
1 sidewalk.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: No, I mean
3 interior.
4 MR. HOLT: No.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Because I think
6 the food service stops at 7:00, is that
7 correct?
8 MR. HOLT: Yes.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: So it would be
10 two hours --
11 MR. HOLT: We'll just keep it at
12 8:00.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Right, right.
14 MR. HOLT: I mean, this was kind
15 of unexpected. So it's sort of hard to deal
16 with.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, all right.
18 No, maybe next year. If you can think about
19 it and plan, yes.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Think about it
21 ahead of time next year. All right.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Thank you, yes
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 150
1 you're finished.
2 MR. HOLT: All good? Thank you.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Come back tomorrow,
4 okay.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so all
6 right. I had the three H Street Main Street -
7 -
8 CHAIR MILLER: Do you have a
9 question?
10 MR. HANKINS: I have one question.
11 For, again, Frank Hankins for the H Street
12 Playhouse. I was wondering if it was
13 possible, my business, I work all day
14 tomorrow.
15 So as far as picking up, Tony
16 Tomelden has permission to pick up. He's
17 picking up for the Pug and for H Street
18 Playhouse.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, I don't
21 think that's an issue.
22 MR. HANKINS: Okay. I don't know
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 151
1 if they're going to ask to see --
2 CHAIR MILLER: I'll write it down.
3 I don't think so, but Tony Domelden?
4 MR. HANKINS: Arthur Tomelden.
5 CHAIR MILLER: He is picking up
6 Sticky Rice and --
7 MR. HANKINS: No, he's picking up
8 for the Pug --
9 CHAIR MILLER: The Pug, okay.
10 MR. HANKINS: -- and for H Street
11 Playhouse.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Yes.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, I'm getting
14 nods from our staff.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Shouldn't be a
16 problem. Well, we note that down. He's paid?
17 MR. HANKINS: Yes, yes. He'll
18 have paid. Thank you.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, thank you
20 very much.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Let's get
22 to these quickly. Okay, Granville Moore's
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 152
1 Brickyard? So I think someone from Smith
2 Commons was going to represent them.
3 MR. LEBARRON: I'm here.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, excellent.
5 Thank you. That makes my life easier. Okay,
6 let's just deal with this one real quickly,
7 and then --
8 CHAIR MILLER: I'm sorry.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- I'll come back
10 to the one from Da Luft. Okay, so --
11 CHAIR MILLER: Could you just
12 identify yourself again?
13 MR. LEBARRON: Matthew LeBarron.
14 CHAIR MILLER: And you're with
15 who?
16 MR. LEBARRON: Granville Moore's.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Oh, you're here.
18 MR. LEBARRON: Yes.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, great.
20 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: And I have no
22 questions for this one. But you weren't here
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 153
1 earlier so --
2 MR. LEBARRON: Correct.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Unfortunately.
4 So I think --
5 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: I have no
7 questions for this one. I'm ready to --
8 MR. LEBARRON: Good to go?
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: You okay?
10 CHAIR MILLER: Unfortunately you
11 have to come back tomorrow to pick up a
12 license.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: You have to come
14 back tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
15 MR. LEBARRON: Take care. Thank
16 you guys very much.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you for
18 your patience.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Thank you.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you. Okay,
21 the person representing Da Luft, if you will
22 come forward, please introduce yourself. Tell
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 154
1 us who you're with and what your position is
2 with the establishment.
3 MS. SOLAJA: Okay. My name's Toby
4 Solaja and I'm representing Da Luft Restaurant
5 and Lounge on 1242 H Street. And my position
6 with them, I'm operations manager.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And can
8 you spell your last name?
9 MS. SOLAJA: S-O-L-A-J-A.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, Solaja?
11 MS. SOLAJA: Yes.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So this is
13 actually your first time?
14 MS. SOLAJA: This is our first
15 time.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: This is your
17 first time, you're a brand new establishment,
18 am I right?
19 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, we are a brand
20 new establishment.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. I'm
22 going to actually spend some time because you
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 155
1 weren't here earlier --
2 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, no problem.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- and you
4 haven't done this before.
5 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, that's not a
6 problem.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. So
8 you were licensed to the width of your
9 building out into the parking lane?
10 MS. SOLAJA: That's right.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: To the first
12 traffic lane, correct?
13 MS. SOLAJA: Yes.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you'll have
15 barriers around the --
16 MS. SOLAJA: Right.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: I can guarantee
18 you from past experience, I bet no one else
19 has told you, that you will have a huge crowd,
20 which would probably be good for you, right?
21 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's almost
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 156
1 guaranteed at this festival.
2 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Which means that
4 you got a big responsibility, all right?
5 We're expecting you to monitor for underage
6 drinking.
7 MS. SOLAJA: Not a problem.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: So how many
9 entrances and exits are you going to have?
10 MS. SOLAJA: There's just going to
11 be one entrance. And that's because we're
12 going to extend it to the parking lane. So we
13 have the eight gates that we're going to put
14 around it.
15 And then we're going to make room
16 for just one entrance where we'll have two
17 security guards stationed there. And then
18 we'll have four others on the inside of the
19 building.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Of the building?
21 MS. SOLAJA: Yes.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 157
1 So one of those persons will be doing ID
2 checking?
3 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, one of those
4 persons will be doing the ID checking. And we
5 also got a fake ID detector as well so we
6 don't have any problems with underage people
7 coming in.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: And will the
9 other person be monitoring -- the only things
10 we're concerned about is you're going to be
11 crowded. You're going to be shoulder to
12 shoulder, you're going to be up to that gate,
13 up to the fencing. Make sure that your
14 personnel, your one personnel monitoring the
15 perimeter.
16 MS. SOLAJA: Okay. No problem.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay? So people
18 aren't holding a drink, handing drinks off to
19 the crowd who will be right up against your
20 fence on the outside. All right?
21 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, no problem.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Because you're
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 158
1 responsible.
2 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, we are
3 responsible.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right,
5 someone comes and says oh, I got that from Da
6 Luft, and they're out in the street --
7 MS. SOLAJA: Then we're
8 responsible for that.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're
10 responsible.
11 MS. SOLAJA: That's right.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: So Mr. Ghenene,
13 do you have anything to add to that? I'm
14 sorry.
15 MR. GHENENE: No problem.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Ms. Miller, yes
17 go ahead. I'm sorry.
18 CHAIR MILLER: I had a --
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, go
20 ahead. I'm sorry.
21 CHAIR MILLER: I just had a
22 question.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 159
1 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
2 CHAIR MILLER: What is your fake
3 ID detector? What are you referring to?
4 MS. SOLAJA: We ordered it off
5 Amazon. I don't know the make and the model
6 of it because I didn't place the order for it.
7 But I can have them forward me an email with
8 the receipt right now.
9 CHAIR MILLER: So you're not
10 familiar really with how it works at this
11 point?
12 MS. SOLAJA: With the fake ID
13 detector?
14 CHAIR MILLER: Yes.
15 MS. SOLAJA: No, I believe when
16 they tender their ID, you run it under and I
17 was told it runs for ultraviolet. That's the
18 only word that really caught on to me that
19 shows you whether or not it's fake. I'm not
20 sure the procedure because I won't be working
21 that particular station.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Wait, let me.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 160
1 Can I follow up? The people who are using
2 this, are they experienced?
3 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, yes they are.
4 They already got training for that. But I
5 wasn't involved in that.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Do they work at
7 your establishment currently?
8 MS. SOLAJA: Pardon me?
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Are these
10 experienced staff from your establishment?
11 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, yes. They're
12 hired through the company, through our
13 company. They're security personnel with the
14 company.
15 And one of them, they're leaders
16 in SBO. And then the five others actually
17 have experience working at lounges and clubs,
18 as well. So they're familiar with checking
19 IDs.
20 CHAIR MILLER: So you're hiring
21 security that you've hired before for your
22 restaurant?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 161
1 MS. SOLAJA: For our restaurant,
2 yes.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
4 MS. SOLAJA: They're one of our
5 employees.
6 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. They're your
7 employee or they work for the security
8 company?
9 MS. SOLAJA: No, no. Employees.
10 CHAIR MILLER: They're your own
11 employees?
12 MS. SOLAJA: They're our own
13 employees.
14 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
15 MS. SOLAJA: So it was a direct
16 hire.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, so you have
18 how many for security?
19 MS. SOLAJA: Six security.
20 CHAIR MILLER: Six, okay. And you
21 said that, have all six been trained on this
22 machine?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 162
1 MS. SOLAJA: All six of them have
2 been trained on the machine, that's the word
3 I got.
4 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, do you know
5 where they were trained?
6 MS. SOLAJA: At Da Luft. At the
7 restaurant.
8 CHAIR MILLER: Do you know who
9 trained them?
10 MS. SOLAJA: Yes. Ike. Iwanery is
11 his last name. Ike is his first name.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, I'm going to
13 let Mr. Ghenene pick it up.
14 MR. GHENENE: Yes, thank you.
15 First of all, as far as this ID checking
16 machine, I don't want you or your staff to
17 have a lot of confidence in it. This is the
18 best tool that you could use is the ID
19 checking guide.
20 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, okay.
21 MR. GHENENE: And then using
22 magnifying glasses, flashlights, UV light,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 163
1 that kind of thing. But simply just running
2 an ID through a machine is not satisfactory.
3 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, I'm sorry.
4 MR. GHENENE: No, that's fine.
5 That's fine.
6 MS. SOLAJA: I should have
7 clarified. They're actually going to take a
8 look at it, and then if they feel anything's
9 suspicious is when they use the machine.
10 MR. GHENENE: Right. So I guess
11 my point is is that these days, fake IDs are
12 so good --
13 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, I see.
14 MR. GHENENE: -- that they're
15 going to pass all those sniff tests.
16 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
17 MR. GHENENE: And that will not be
18 satisfactory.
19 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
20 MR. GHENENE: So if you're going
21 to be utilizing tools, the recommendation is
22 to utilize the tools and look for the things
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 164
1 that these guides list because that would be
2 a much better standard at the door.
3 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
4 MR. GHENENE: So here's two.
5 MS. SOLAJA: Thank you. May I
6 please have an extra one, please?
7 MR. GHENENE: Sure.
8 MS. SOLAJA: Thank you.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: That's excellent
10 advice for the festival and for your
11 operations.
12 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
13 MR. GHENENE: Okay. And then
14 second thing is are you going to be utilizing
15 space inside of this establishment?
16 MS. SOLAJA: During the festival?
17 MR. GHENENE: Yes.
18 MS. SOLAJA: No, we're not going
19 to have people come in during the festival.
20 MR. GHENENE: What about
21 afterwards?
22 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, we are.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 165
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: But Mr. Ghenene,
2 they are licensed.
3 MS. SOLAJA: We are.
4 MR. GHENENE: And how long have
5 you guys been open?
6 MS. SOLAJA: We're actually using
7 Saturday as our soft opening.
8 MR. GHENENE: Okay so --
9 MS. SOLAJA: We haven't opened to
10 the public yet.
11 MR. GHENENE: Saturday's your
12 first night open?
13 MS. SOLAJA: Yes.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Did you have a
15 soft opening?
16 MS. SOLAJA: No, we're using
17 Saturday night as our soft opening.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, great,
19 great. I was confused a little bit.
20 MS. SOLAJA: No, sorry.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: The building's
22 been there so long, I think.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 166
1 MR. GHENENE: I apologize for
2 asking a question because it's my own fault
3 for not knowing --
4 MS. SOLAJA: No, not a problem.
5 MR. GHENENE: -- but are you guys
6 offering entertainment Saturday night?
7 MS. SOLAJA: Saturday night, yes.
8 MR. GHENENE: What kind of
9 entertainment?
10 MS. SOLAJA: There's a Jazz band,
11 I believe, coming in on Saturday night. And
12 they're meant to start from 8 o'clock after
13 everything has been broken down outside.
14 That's when they start up, and
15 they run until about 9:30.
16 MR. GHENENE: 8:00 until 9:30?
17 MS. SOLAJA: That's right.
18 MR. GHENENE: And then after 9:30,
19 there'll be no more entertainment?
20 MS. SOLAJA: No, there will be
21 entertainment. Our in house DJ will still be
22 there.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 167
1 MR. GHENENE: DJ?
2 MS. SOLAJA: Yes.
3 MR. GHENENE: And will it be 21
4 and over?
5 MS. SOLAJA: Definitely 21 and
6 over.
7 MR. GHENENE: And cover charge?
8 MS. SOLAJA: No, no cover charge.
9 MR. GHENENE: And will the six
10 security guards or security staff continue for
11 the remainder of the night?
12 MS. SOLAJA: No, we're having a
13 different shift come in because they would
14 have worked a long shift --
15 MR. GHENENE: Sure.
16 MS. SOLAJA: -- from 11:00 to that
17 point.
18 MR. GHENENE: So how many will you
19 have?
20 MS. SOLAJA: We're having three
21 come in at that point in time because we're
22 only going to use the first floor for that.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 168
1 MR. GHENENE: Okay. So from --
2 MS. SOLAJA: From 11:00 to 7:30,
3 well 7:30 because that's when we'll be done
4 with the breakdown.
5 MR. GHENENE: Sure.
6 MS. SOLAJA: And then the next
7 shift picks up from 8 o'clock when the band
8 starts.
9 MR. GHENENE: 8:00 p.m. until what
10 time?
11 MS. SOLAJA: 8:00 p.m. until our
12 official close time, which would be 3:00 a.m.
13 for that night.
14 MR. GHENENE: Okay, so 8:00 to
15 3:00, you have three security guards?
16 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, for the first
17 floor.
18 MR. GHENENE: For the first floor.
19 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, just the first
20 floor, we'll be using that night.
21 MR. GHENENE: You have a second
22 floor?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 169
1 MS. SOLAJA: We do have a second
2 floor.
3 MR. GHENENE: But you will not be
4 using it?
5 MS. SOLAJA: No, we won't be using
6 it for that night.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: For that night?
8 MS. SOLAJA: No.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: You have a
10 rooftop deck, don't you also?
11 MS. SOLAJA: We do, but right now
12 we're still working on getting the third and
13 the fourth floor on the C of O. So we can't
14 use those right now at all.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
16 MR. GHENENE: Third and the
17 fourth, but you can use the second?
18 MS. SOLAJA: We can use the
19 second.
20 MR. GHENENE: But you won't?
21 MS. SOLAJA: No, we won't be.
22 MR. GHENENE: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 170
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Just out of
2 curiosity, do any of the management staff have
3 experience in the industry?
4 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, yes they do.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Because Saturday
6 is quite an initiation.
7 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, we talked to a
8 lot of people around, and they keep saying
9 that they can't emphasize how packed and how
10 much, you know, will be going on at the same
11 time.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: I live in the
13 neighborhood, so welcome to H Street.
14 MS. SOLAJA: Thank you. I
15 appreciate that.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: And it'll be a
17 great day to start because you will be busy.
18 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: I have one last
20 item.
21 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: You have, for the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 171
1 hours of the event and for hours of alcohol
2 beverage sales, you have until 10:00 p.m.
3 here.
4 MS. SOLAJA: Right.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Really, what
6 you're getting the substantial change only
7 until 7:00 for the sidewalk exterior.
8 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right?
10 MS. SOLAJA: Right.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: After that,
12 you're relying on your --
13 MS. SOLAJA: Our own alcohol,
14 okay.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- own license.
16 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, I see.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: So we're going to
18 have you change these hours --
19 MS. SOLAJA: Until 7:00 p.m.?
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- to both of
21 these boxes until 7:00 p.m.
22 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 172
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And initial it.
2 Okay?
3 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, okay.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: So we will have
5 someone give you the license, and if you would
6 do that, I would appreciate that.
7 MS. SOLAJA: Not a problem. Thank
8 you, appreciate it. Okay. I'll just wait on
9 them to verify. Okay, thank you.
10 (Off microphone comments)
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: So I think Shawn
12 can handle it.
13 CHAIR MILLER: All right, so yes.
14 MS. SOLAJA: I wanted to add --
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, the
16 two boxes?
17 MS. SOLAJA: -- one more thing,
18 please. I apologize.
19 CHAIR MILLER: No problem.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Go ahead.
21 MS. SOLAJA: I was just talking to
22 him. I was asking can we actually use our own
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 173
1 building during the hours of the festival as
2 well, between 12:00 and 7:00, meaning actually
3 have people come in?
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes. I mean,
5 yes.
6 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're licensed,
8 right?
9 MS. SOLAJA: Right, we are
10 licensed.
11 MR. GHENENE: If that's the case,
12 are you going to be utilizing any of those
13 other floors, will this license apply to those
14 floors that you don't have clearance for?
15 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, no. Just the two
16 floors. No, the third and fourth floor we're
17 not making use of at all.
18 MR. GHENENE: So then --
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: But you aren't
20 using the second floor during the evening,
21 right?
22 MS. SOLAJA: During the evening,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 174
1 no we're not. So why I'm asking is because we
2 want --
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Wait.
4 MS. SOLAJA: -- I'm sorry.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you're
6 licensed for the second floor?
7 MS. SOLAJA: Yes, we are. I have
8 the C of O here.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Technically you
10 are allowed to use the first and second floor
11 per your license.
12 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Per your license,
14 all right?
15 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, no problem.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay?
17 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, okay.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: This license you
19 are dealing with today really applies to the
20 outside space.
21 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, I see. Okay,
22 thanks.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 175
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And for the
2 interior, you're relying on your permanent
3 license. Okay, Mr. Ghenene?
4 MR. GHENENE: I apologize if I'm
5 beating a dead horse.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: That's okay.
7 MR. GHENENE: But could you, since
8 you guys, this is a soft opening and --
9 MS. SOLAJA: Right.
10 MR. GHENENE: -- I know you guys
11 do have industry experience. Could you just
12 make sure that all your security staff, as
13 well as management, understands that as
14 investigators come by, whether it's Saturday
15 or any time in the future, that we're granted
16 access to the entire establishment, the entire
17 building without delay.
18 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, okay. Okay, so
19 if you want to come in and just make sure
20 there's nobody on the third and fourth?
21 MR. GHENENE: Yes.
22 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, got it.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 176
1 MR. GHENENE: Not only those two
2 floors, but anywhere.
3 MS. SOLAJA: Right, okay. No
4 problem.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: And I will tell
6 you that this board, that's a requirement that
7 every licensee cooperate to the fullest with
8 our investigators --
9 MS. SOLAJA: Oh, okay.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- no matter what
11 they ask.
12 MS. SOLAJA: No problem.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Got a problem
14 with it, you come to the director. But we
15 expect full cooperation.
16 MS. SOLAJA: No problem. That
17 won't be a problem.
18 CHAIR MILLER: And they can be
19 very helpful to you as well.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
21 CHAIR MILLER: Really.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: So if you have
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 177
1 any questions, please --
2 MS. SOLAJA: Relay it to you.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- you're going
4 to come by in the morning, and you can ask him
5 any questions you have.
6 MS. SOLAJA: No problem.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So they are there
8 to serve.
9 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, thank you.
10 CHAIR MILLER: Yes, I don't know
11 if you heard us, I don't think you did. You
12 weren't here. But the day of the festival,
13 they will be going around and giving you signs
14 that you need and answering any questions that
15 you have first thing in the morning.
16 MS. SOLAJA: Okay, okay. No
17 problem.
18 CHAIR MILLER: These investigators
19 right here.
20 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
21 CHAIR MILLER: And I just have one
22 other question since you're a new licensee.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 178
1 Did you get any training here at ABRA about
2 all of the alcohol laws and regulations?
3 MS. SOLAJA: Yes. The ABC
4 managers did.
5 CHAIR MILLER: They did?
6 MS. SOLAJA: Yes.
7 CHAIR MILLER: They did, okay.
8 And we do have a website, ABRA does.
9 MS. SOLAJA: Right.
10 CHAIR MILLER: So you can go and
11 check things out there.
12 MS. SOLAJA: Okay.
13 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Best of luck on
15 Saturday.
16 MS. SOLAJA: Thank you, appreciate
17 it.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. So
19 now we have the three H Street Festivals and
20 we have Smith Commons. So which one should we
21 do first.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Smith Commons.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 179
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Smith Commons?
2 We're going to do Smith Commons next. Thank
3 you for your patience. Sir, why don't you
4 come on forward and -- oh, I know. Granville
5 Moore showed up.
6 MS. SOLAJA: Thank you, appreciate
7 it.
8 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Thank you.
9 (Crosstalk)
10 CHAIR MILLER: Didn't we do Red
11 Rocks already?
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: I thought we did
13 Red Rocks.
14 CHAIR MILLER: That's okay, I
15 didn't get to --
16 MALE PARTICIPANT: I didn't see it
17 either.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: I think Red Rocks
19 was one of those people that --
20 CHAIR MILLER: You said were okay
21 right from the start?
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 180
1 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Red Rocks was one
3 of those people who was good right from the
4 start.
5 MR. GHENENE: Okay.
6 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So gentlemen, if
8 you would introduce yourselves and tell us
9 what your position is with Smith Commons.
10 MR. GRAY: Miles Gray, Managing
11 Partner of Smith Commons.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: What's your last
13 name again?
14 MR. GRAY: Miles Gray.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Gray?
16 MR. GRAY: M-I-L-E-S, G-R-A-Y.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
18 MR. PETERS: And Phil Peters,
19 Assistant General Manager.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Spell your last
21 name.
22 MR. PETERS: Peters.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 181
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Peters? Okay.
2 MR. PETERS: Yes.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm sorry. I
4 misunderstood, okay. Okay. We have a, as I
5 understand it, you are going to use the
6 parking lot from the Auto Zone, correct?
7 MR. PETERS: Yes, sir.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's a large
9 space, so why don't you give us some
10 background on what your plans are for the
11 festival.
12 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir. So this is
13 our fourth year participating in the H Street
14 Festival, and our fourth year as well having
15 the beer garden.
16 This year, we are doing the global
17 broadcast from H Street Festival for the
18 National Flugtag Race that they're doing over
19 at the National Harbor.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: The National what
21 race?
22 MR. GRAY: National Flugtag Race.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 182
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
2 MR. GRAY: So it's a design team
3 competition for engineers. Red Bull does this
4 event globally, and they're doing it in five
5 cities this year, and D.C. is one of them.
6 They're putting 10,000 people at
7 the National Harbor, and they're doing the
8 satellite feed for that through a jumbotron at
9 Smith Commons.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
11 MR. GRAY: So we're using the
12 space to continue to participate in the H
13 Street Festival, showcase local bands, kind of
14 the same way we have in the last four years.
15 Last three years, I'm sorry.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Boy, where do I
17 start. Just let's talk about the perimeter.
18 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you have Smith
20 Commons on the east side?
21 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: On the west side,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 183
1 you have the Auto Zone. I assume you're not
2 going to go right up to the Auto Zone
3 building, are you?
4 MR. GRAY: No, no sir.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: So will there be
6 a fence there separating you from the Auto
7 Zone?
8 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir. So what
9 we've done in the past and what we plan on
10 doing this year, as well, is following the H
11 Street, there are barricades.
12 Some not natural barricades, but
13 there will be an RV, there will be barricades
14 going up all the way to Auto Zone and then
15 coming back into the Auto Zone parking lot,
16 meeting at the stage.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Hold on.
18 Step back. Go through that again now?
19 MR. GRAY: Okay, are you looking
20 at our diagram?
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm looking at
22 just an aerial view of your lot, of the lot.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 184
1 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir. So we're the
2 square stage to the left. There'll be a
3 barricade extending from that stage out
4 towards the street.
5 And then a barricade that extends
6 from there towards Smith Commons. And there
7 will be a point of entry from that side. The
8 back side towards the houses is already fenced
9 off. And our building creates a natural
10 barricade.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: So that parking
12 lot has continuous fence on the back there?
13 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Is that a wooden
15 fence?
16 MR. GRAY: No, metal chain link
17 fence.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Metal chain?
19 Okay. Is that along the front? What's along
20 the front facing the street?
21 MR. GRAY: The same barricades
22 that everyone else has on their patios.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 185
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And they are
2 going to be placed where?
3 MR. GRAY: I'm sorry?
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Where exactly are
5 they going to be placed along that perimeter?
6 Along the sidewalk, inside the parking lot?
7 MR. GRAY: Oh, in the private
8 space, in the parking lot.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: So the sidewalk
10 will not be part of your festival?
11 MR. GRAY: No, sir.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So the
13 perimeter is the inside of the parking lot
14 there. And what separates you from the Auto
15 Zone?
16 MR. GRAY: The stage and also
17 barricades.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Stage and also
19 the same bicycle barricades that --
20 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Okay. So
22 now where are your entrances and exits?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 186
1 MR. GRAY: ON the diagram, I guess
2 since it's black and white you can't see them
3 as well as the color version.
4 But there are exits near the Auto
5 Zone on the far side near the security guard
6 there. And there's also an entrance and exit
7 on the Smith Commons side.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So just
9 the two entrances and exits?
10 MR. GRAY: One entrance, two
11 exits, yes sir.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, one
13 entrance being which one, sorry. The entrance
14 is where?
15 MR. GRAY: Near Smith Commons.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So it's
17 the Smith Commons in and then there's an exit,
18 and then everyone exits down by the Auto Zone?
19 MR. GRAY: Everyone can exit
20 there, they can also exit near the front.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Where is
22 alcohol, will consumption be allowed
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 187
1 throughout that entire space?
2 MR. GRAY: Well, it's limited to
3 the bar areas, but I guess technically yes,
4 someone could consume alcohol in that entire
5 space.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, you're not
7 going to -- are you restricting them from
8 moving around?
9 MR. GRAY: No, I didn't understand
10 exactly your question.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
12 MR. GRAY: But inside the
13 barricades, inside our fenced off areas.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: But the entire
15 parking lot, you're allowing consumption?
16 MR. GRAY: Yes.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So where
18 is the service of alcohol being served?
19 MR. GRAY: There are two service
20 areas. The one, the main one, the largest one
21 near the Smith Commons building. And then
22 there will be a small satellite punch area
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 188
1 about halfway through the building, I mean
2 about halfway through the barricaded area.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: About halfway.
4 So I see Mini Romp here. Where in relationship
5 to Mini Romp is the alcohol service?
6 MR. GRAY: Yes, so across. Like I
7 said, so if you're looking at that diagram, on
8 the right hand side, the large quadrangle
9 there, that's a food service area, there will
10 be one bar there.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Large quadrangle.
12 MR. GRAY: I'm sorry?
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Maybe I'm not
14 looking at this -- oh, I see. I'm looking at
15 this backwards. Okay, so the Mini Romp is in
16 front. I'm sorry, I had this upside down.
17 MR. PETERS: The mini ramp would
18 represent the south end of the park end of the
19 parking lot. H Street is north, as you're
20 looking at it.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Well, the Mini
22 Romp is on the south end, right, of the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 189
1 parking lot as I'm looking at it. Right. And
2 so the beer garden, the bar will be where?
3 MR. GRAY: One by the building, by
4 Smith Commons.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: By Smith Commons?
6 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: There's a stage
8 there, though. There will be also a bar?
9 MR. GRAY: No, sir. That's the
10 Auto Zone parking lot.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: That's where the
12 stage is, that square?
13 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, that's the
15 stage. So that's the bar next to Smith
16 Commons?
17 MR. GRAY: Yes.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. And then
19 there'll be another satellite bar where?
20 MR. GRAY: A small one near, in
21 between the two sets of tents. There's one
22 that says small bar.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 190
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: I can't really
2 see it here, but I'll believe you.
3 MR. GRAY: It's about mid
4 distance.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Towards the back,
6 towards the southern end of the parking lot?
7 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. How many
9 people are you expecting? What's your maximum
10 occupancy at any one time?
11 MR. GRAY: We could hold 2,000
12 people. We hope to cap that at 750.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So you're
14 going to cap that at 750?
15 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: And how will you
17 do that?
18 MR. GRAY: Using the clickers, the
19 in and out system. So the front door security
20 will have a set of clickers that knows how
21 many people have come in, how many people have
22 exited.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 191
1 Same thing with the far exit
2 security. And those numbers will be
3 tabulated. We'll keep a count on how many
4 people are in.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: And who's
6 responsible for doing that?
7 MR. GRAY: I'm sorry?
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Who's responsible
9 for doing that?
10 MR. GRAY: Our security team.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Security team,
12 okay. All right. Under, are you directing
13 the security team?
14 MR. GRAY: No, the security team
15 actually has a director. We have a company
16 called Pros1 that we use every Thursday,
17 Friday and Saturday.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm sort of
19 spaced out. Each of you, what's your position
20 with the company?
21 MR. GRAY: I'm the managing
22 partner there. He's one of the managers, our
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 192
1 assistant general manager.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Assistant
3 general manager. Okay, great. So you're
4 checking IDs at the entrance?
5 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Will the
7 bartenders check IDs if necessary inside? Or
8 in the festival area, how are you going to
9 identify people who are over 21 or under 21?
10 MR. GRAY: So there's --
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Because I assume
12 this is all ages, right? No?
13 MR. GRAY: No, the festival is all
14 ages. We won't be admitting all ages.
15 There'll be no unaccompanied minors in our
16 lot.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, okay. Great.
18 MR. GRAY: I think during the
19 festival, I think --
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: No I understand
21 the festival. But your area will be only 21
22 and older?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 193
1 MR. GRAY: I can't promise only 21
2 and older because a lot of the families on H
3 street, they'll bring small children with them
4 to these events.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: That's what I
6 meant by your --
7 MR. GRAY: Oh, well then yes, sir.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Your lot, your
9 area, the area you're responsible for, will
10 that be all ages?
11 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. All right,
13 great, because I see a Mini Romp. I'm
14 assuming is that for kids?
15 MR. GRAY: No, not by any means.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, okay.
17 MR. GRAY: Those are professional
18 skateboarders.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Ah, okay great.
20 All right. But it is, all right, so it is all
21 ages. So how are you going to identify people
22 over 21?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 194
1 MR. GRAY: So people who are
2 coming into the event venue, they will have a
3 wristband. We have a bright green wristband
4 that says 21 and up.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
6 MR. GRAY: People who are not 21
7 plus will have a large black X on their hand.
8 Only people who have that wristband will be
9 served.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: And how many
11 security people will you have?
12 MR. GRAY: We'll have a total of
13 15.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Fifteen, okay.
15 MR. GRAY: Still sourcing the last
16 three. We have 12 confirmed now, five on one
17 side, five on the other side, and two roaming.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. The two
19 roaming, what will their responsibilities be?
20 MR. GRAY: Canvas the crowd and
21 see if there's anything that's, you know, out
22 of order. Obviously anybody who's consuming
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 195
1 a beverage doesn't have proper wristbanding,
2 making sure that, you know, over consumption's
3 not happening or that type of thing.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: How will they
5 distinguish between alcohol beverages and non-
6 alcohol beverages?
7 MR. GRAY: We have different cups.
8 We have a clear 12 ounce plastic cup for
9 alcoholic beverages, and we have a larger 16
10 ounce cup for lemonade, water, that type of
11 thing.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: And what
13 alcoholic beverages are you serving?
14 MR. GRAY: We're serving beer and
15 liquor.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: And liquor?
17 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Beer and
19 spirits?
20 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: So this is a
22 temporary license, oh this is a one day
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 196
1 substantial change. So really, okay, all
2 right. So this is the responsibility of Smith
3 Commons in general because this is a one day
4 substantial change to Smith Commons?
5 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, all right.
7 Anyone else?
8 CHAIR MILLER: Do you -- go ahead,
9 Ms. Brooks?
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Or Mr. Ghenene?
11 MEMBER BROOKS: No, I just wanted
12 to know, and maybe he's already answered this
13 question. How many ABC managers do you have,
14 or will you have?
15 MR. GRAY: We have four, possibly
16 five that day.
17 MEMBER BROOKS: Okay.
18 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
19 MEMBER BROOKS: All right.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, before I go
21 on, you have until 8:00 p.m. What time are
22 you going to be running this area?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 197
1 MR. GRAY: I think we have the
2 same bad information everyone else did. We
3 thought that there was an extension allowed
4 for private spaces, so we just put 8 o'clock.
5 We're totally fine --
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: That's what your
7 plan is?
8 MR. GRAY: We can do 7:00. We
9 would like to do 8:00, but we're totally fine
10 with 7:00.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: We're looking at
12 8:00. I mean, the organizer doesn't have any
13 problem with it and that's what your request
14 is, so that's what we're reviewing.
15 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
16 CHAIR MILLER: So your outdoor
17 space is private, not public, is that it?
18 MR. GRAY: Yes, ma'am.
19 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. Smith
20 Commons, it's a very large restaurant, or what
21 is it?
22 MR. GRAY: It's a large
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 198
1 restaurant.
2 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. And you're
3 used to having big events there?
4 MR. GRAY: Yes, ma'am. We did
5 almost exactly the same thing last year.
6 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. But I mean
7 in general, do you have a lot of events there?
8 MR. GRAY: I wouldn't say that we
9 have events. We've had very large things
10 there, the President's eaten there, so that
11 was obviously a national --
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Your weekend
13 crowd, how big is your weekend crowd usually?
14 MR. GRAY: We're at capacity on
15 the weekends.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Pardon?
17 MR. GRAY: We're at capacity on
18 the weekends.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Which is
20 approximately?
21 MR. GRAY: Three fifty or so.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 199
1 CHAIR MILLER: And do you have,
2 like, bands on weekends? Or is this just
3 related to the event?
4 MR. GRAY: We'll do a Sunday
5 brunch from time to time. You know, we'll
6 bring in a DJ from time to time. We don't
7 throw parties or anything like that if that's
8 what you mean, promoted events, nothing like
9 that.
10 CHAIR MILLER: I just don't know
11 Smith Commons, so I just wanted to get an
12 idea. Yes. Big Saturdays.
13 MR. GRAY: We have a good time, we
14 try to.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: And Obama was
16 there, you got to go.
17 CHAIR MILLER: This global event,
18 can you just give us a better idea of what
19 that means? Like, what are the hours, what's
20 going to happen during this event?
21 MR. GRAY: Sure. So what'll
22 happen is starting at noon, we'll have live
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 200
1 bands on stage, on the actual main stage,
2 bands, DJs, that type of thing.
3 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
4 MR. GRAY: And then from 1:45
5 until 3:45, they're bringing in a satellite
6 feed. So what's happening at National Harbor,
7 it will be broadcast to the web, and it will
8 be broadcast back over to the jumbotron at
9 Smith Commons.
10 So people who are in the festival
11 walking even down the street, or in our actual
12 property, can see what's going on down at
13 National Harbor. So it's really just a big TV
14 show more than anything else.
15 CHAIR MILLER: Okay. And I don't
16 want to, you know, prolong things --
17 MR. GRAY: No, please.
18 CHAIR MILLER: -- but I'm just
19 kind of curious, like, do you know what's
20 going to be on the TV screen, what people will
21 be watching?
22 MR. GRAY: Yes, sure. So what
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 201
1 they do, and like I said, they've done this
2 hundreds of times all over the world. And
3 what they do is, it's kind of a fun thing,
4 marketing type of thing for Red Bull.
5 So let's say we had a team, we'll
6 get a team together and we'll build what we
7 call a Flugtag flying machine. And what they
8 do is they take those things and they push
9 them off the piers.
10 And they see how far these things
11 fly. And typically they don't fly, they just
12 kind of fall into the pier. Everybody says oh
13 yes, that was great.
14 But sometimes, you know, they set
15 world record gliding distances during this
16 festival. Just, it's all good fun type thing.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, all right.
18 Does Red Bull give out free Red Bull, or
19 anything like that?
20 MR. GRAY: They will be passing
21 out free Red Bull during the festival.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, all right.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 202
1 Mr. Ghenene?
2 MR. GHENENE: Sure. Thank you. I
3 have a couple of questions. Is the interior
4 of Smith Commons going to be open during the
5 day?
6 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
7 MR. GHENENE: And have you
8 coordinated with the main festival, I guess,
9 organizers regarding this 1:45 to 3:45 time
10 stretch, because as you indicated, there may
11 be a larger crowd than your 750 inside your
12 barriers.
13 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
14 MR. GHENENE: There may be people
15 in the festival that are kind of stopping by,
16 which might need a little bit more attention.
17 MR. GRAY: Yes, sir.
18 MR. GHENENE: Have you guys talked
19 to them about that?
20 MR. GRAY: Oh, yes we have. Since
21 the earliest planning meeting, we've been
22 tightly aligned with the H Street Festival.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 203
1 MR. GHENENE: Okay.
2 MR. GRAY: We'll do everything
3 that we can to corral that crowd.
4 MS. YAP: Maybe trying to --
5 CHAIR MILLER: You have to come to
6 the table.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're up
8 next, so you --
9 CHAIR MILLER: You might as well
10 stay.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- stay. But
12 please introduce yourself.
13 MS. YAP: -- because we've been
14 partners with Smith Commons for so long, and
15 we're anticipating such a large crowd. And
16 the festival has gotten ten blocks long, we
17 have moved all the tents last year when there
18 was congestion away from that area.
19 So the people that are
20 participating in that activity can enjoy that,
21 and the people who are more kid friendly and
22 family friendly is further up the block. So
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 204
1 that way that traffic bottleneck will not be
2 a concern during the time where there's a
3 crowd.
4 MR. GHENENE: I guess my concern
5 is that during this broadcast, people are
6 walking by, but obviously see something that's
7 not normal. I mean, it's not normal to see a
8 jumbotron with things flying into the water.
9 MR. GRAY: Right.
10 MR. GHENENE: So with that said,
11 you know, I understand Smith Commons will have
12 the responsibility of what's inside your
13 barriers.
14 However, you might find that
15 people are gathering outside the barriers on
16 H Street, and you might want to make MPD aware
17 of that.
18 MS. YAP: Yes, we will make it a
19 point to send the walking MPD station there
20 around those two times, and we'll coordinate
21 and make sure that we have crowd control.
22 MR. GHENENE: Sure.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 205
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: And what time is
2 that occurring?
3 MR. GRAY: That's at 1:45, so it's
4 1:45 until 3:45.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, I need
6 to know so I can be there.
7 CHAIR MILLER: All right, okay.
8 You can stay if you want. Whatever you want
9 to do.
10 MS. YAP: That's okay.
11 CHAIR MILLER: Okay, come back
12 later. Hopefully soon, right?
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
14 CHAIR MILLER: Yes. All right.
15 Oh, I don't have any investigative --
16 MR. GHENENE: Well, I just wanted
17 to add that during last year's festival, we
18 monitored Smith Commons fairly aggressively,
19 and that they ran pretty smoothly, and without
20 any kind of hitches or anything.
21 MR. GRAY: Thank you.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 206
1 CHAIR MILLER: Great, okay.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Question?
3 CHAIR MILLER: Yes?
4 MR. GRAY: So like I said, the
5 space can hold 2,000 people. Is it possible
6 I can live in that 750 to 1,000 person range,
7 or should I just stay quiet and leave quietly?
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: If you want to go
9 to 1,000, we're going to expect --
10 MR. GRAY: That the extra
11 security.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- extra
13 security.
14 MR. GRAY: I see what you're
15 saying, okay.
16 MR. GHENENE: Or access to.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: So what do you
18 want to do?
19 MR. GRAY: Okay.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: So what do you
21 want to do?
22 MR. GRAY: It's probably going to
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 207
1 be a profitable event, so I'll probably stay
2 right around where we're at, yes.
3 CHAIR MILLER: It says 500 to 750.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: I know the space
5 can hold a lot of people, but that's a big --
6 MR. GRAY: Yes, I'll stay where
7 we're at.
8 CHAIR MILLER: You're going to
9 leave it for this time? Okay.
10 MR. GRAY: So that's an
11 additional, you guys recommend 50 to one
12 ratio, so that's an additional.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
14 MR. GRAY: We'll stay in that 750
15 range, that's okay.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: What did you do
17 last year? Do you have any idea?
18 MR. GRAY: We were right around
19 that place. We had a very calm crowd.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: It was pretty
21 crowded, I remember.
22 MR. GRAY: Yes, it was crowded,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 208
1 but I think we have a lot of turnover. So
2 we're kind of like a flow, kind of a walk
3 through flow through space almost.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, right,
5 right.
6 MR. GRAY: So we don't have, like,
7 a stationary crowd for a long time.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Mr. Ghenene?
9 MR. GHENENE: Mr. Alberti, may I
10 make the recommendation, I don't think that
11 the board, well I don't know, but I don't
12 think that you have to necessarily have to
13 have 20 security guards there.
14 MR. GRAY: Okay.
15 MR. GHENENE: But you just need to
16 have access to them as the crowd grows.
17 MR. GRAY: Got you.
18 MR. GHENENE: So I think that it's
19 just like the other situation. It's not a
20 method of restriction, it's just a matter of
21 being prepared.
22 MR. GRAY: Right.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 209
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you want to
2 increase this to --
3 MR. GRAY: What I want to do is I
4 just want to kind of live in that 750 to 1,000
5 people.
6 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
7 MR. GRAY: I think 1,000 people is
8 way to many --
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: You don't want to
10 get deemed for --
11 MR. GRAY: Exactly. I don't want
12 to --
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: We will be making
14 sure that you have security.
15 MR. GRAY: We definitely will.
16 That's totally fine with us.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: And prepare.
18 CHAIR MILLER: So you need to
19 amend this because it says 500 to 750, and I
20 think what you're asking for is 750 to 1,000?
21 MR. GRAY: Yes, ma'am.
22 CHAIR MILLER: Okay.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 210
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. Good
2 luck.
3 MR. GRAY: Thank you.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you for
5 your patience.
6 MR. GRAY: Oh no, we understand
7 completely. Thank you.
8 (Off microphone comments)
9 MR. GRAY: Thank you all.
10 CHAIR MILLER: Thank you very
11 much.
12 MR. GRAY: Thank you.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: So I guess -- oh
14 thank you guys. All right. So we have three
15 more applications. Why don't you introduce
16 yourselves again.
17 MS. YAP: We're from H Street Main
18 Street. My name is Wuiping, last name is Yap,
19 Y-A-P.
20 MR. SALEEM: Anwar Saleem,
21 Executive Director for H Street Main Street.
22 MR. AHN: My name's Paul Ahn, A-H-
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 211
1 N.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So we have
3 applications for the three different spots.
4 I think maybe the easiest way to do this is to
5 go through them one by one for logistics in
6 each spot. And so I'm going to start with the
7 first one. The only one, okay --
8 MALE PARTICIPANT: I think your
9 microphone is off.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Pardon?
11 MALE PARTICIPANT: Your microphone
12 might have gone off.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, I'll put my
14 microphone on. How's that, better? Okay.
15 Ms. Yap, I know you guys collaborate, but your
16 name is on the one for is this 625?
17 MS. YAP: Yes.
18 MR. SALEEM: Yes. It's a vacant
19 lot.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: So that's the --
21 MS. YAP: I'm happy to go first.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Pardon?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 212
1 MS. YAP: I'm happy to go first.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. Thank you
3 for sticking with us. All right, so this is
4 the one for the parking lot in the middle of
5 the block, right?
6 MS. YAP: Yes.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right between
8 those two buildings?
9 MS. YAP: Yes.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So why
11 don't you tell us a little bit about your
12 plans for the parking lot. You heard our
13 concerns with Smith Commons. Even though it's
14 a smaller space, we have some of the same
15 issues. So if you could go ahead.
16 MS. YAP: This is part of the REI
17 adventure park where we have a bluegrass, the
18 stage is all the way at the back of the
19 parking lot, and there's a bluegrass stage.
20 So those people are not very
21 rambunctious compared to Smith Commons.
22 Bluegrass, bluegrass. So then we have a tiny
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 213
1 little garden right next to it. It's 30 by
2 60. It's self contained. It's all
3 barricaded.
4 Sorry, 60 by 50, my apologies.
5 And we have a ten foot area and then tables
6 around. And we're selling alcohol through
7 tickets and wristband, and we do not allow
8 anybody who is not under 21 to come in.
9 We will have volunteers and
10 security every shift, two people checking, two
11 people bouncing, and people pouring. So about
12 six people per shift is what I told Inspector
13 Ghenene.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
15 MS. YAP: On a Sunday, he needs a
16 raise. He worked on Sunday. He called me
17 Sunday morning, off day.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: We keep our
19 investigators busy. So is there more than one
20 entrance to this?
21 MS. YAP: No. One entrance in and
22 out.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 214
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: In and out.
2 Okay. Is that where -- where will the ID
3 checking be done?
4 MS. YAP: Yes.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: There?
6 MS. YAP: The ID checking, yes,
7 will be done at the entrance prior to
8 entering.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: And that's where
10 you get your wristband?
11 MS. YAP: Correct.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: And so where do
13 you get your tickets?
14 MS. YAP: And then you have to
15 walk into a little tack area.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, to get your
17 tickets. And then?
18 MS. YAP: And then you can go line
19 up and get your alcohol.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, and you're
21 serving what kind of alcohol?
22 MS. YAP: We are serving beer and
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 215
1 liquor. Beer, wine and liquor.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Beer, wine and
3 spirits, okay. Great.
4 MS. YAP: Beer, wine and spirits.
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. It's
6 completely fenced. I'm trying to remember
7 that parking lot, if there's any areas that --
8 well part of that parking lot go behind those
9 buildings, does it not?
10 MS. YAP: Yes.
11 MR. SALEEM: Yes, from one. Yes
12 it does, on one.
13 MS. YAP: Yes. Yes, it does. And
14 so it goes in there and it's almost like a T
15 shape. So --
16 MR. SALEEM: On the western
17 building.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: So what part are
19 you using?
20 MS. YAP: We're actually in front
21 where it's visible from the street. So when
22 you're looking to it, you can see the space in
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 216
1 front of the stage. So we're very visible.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: And so it's
3 going, because I'm looking into the parking
4 lot, if I draw two lines straight back, you'll
5 have fencing all the way to the back?
6 MS. YAP: No, you have a stage,
7 and then we're this little tiny square,
8 rectangle on the side. We're not fencing the
9 entire thing. The place is huge.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: So in the back,
11 you've got the --
12 MS. YAP: The stage.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- stage. And so
14 I'm not understanding what prevents people
15 from walking down behind the buildings.
16 MS. YAP: But down behind the
17 building has nothing. We're not --
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Well, it's T
19 shaped. That parking lot is T shaped, isn't
20 it?
21 MS. YAP: Right. But the beer
22 garden is not behind the T shape.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 217
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh. Oh.
2 MS. YAP: We're in front.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: So the stage is
4 placed --
5 MS. YAP: At the back.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: -- at the end, at
7 the back, not all the way to the back, but at
8 the buildings?
9 MS. YAP: Correct.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: So the stage is
11 your barrier to prevent you from going to the
12 parking lot that sits behind those buildings.
13 MS. YAP: Correct.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Now I got it.
15 Got you. And then you're in front of that?
16 MS. YAP: We're going to have all
17 hats together, everybody can see everything
18 that's going on.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great, great.
20 Just so our investigators know. We don't want
21 any confusion. Okay, got you. So your name
22 is on the license. Besides you, will there be
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 218
1 any licensed managers there?
2 MS. YAP: Yes, there will be.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: And how many and
4 --
5 MS. YAP: We will have one on
6 every shift. So there will be at least one
7 beer manager on site for all our gardens.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Are they ABC
9 licensed managers?
10 MS. YAP: Correct.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. One on
12 every shift, okay. How long is a shift?
13 MR. SALEEM: It's about four
14 hours. It's four hours.
15 MS. YAP: Four hours.
16 MR. SALEEM: Four hours.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. Other
18 security people, how many?
19 MS. YAP: We will have six people
20 per shift.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Six security
22 staff?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 219
1 MS. YAP: Yes.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: And what's the
3 maximum crowd that you're allowing?
4 MR. SALEEM: We said what, 30 at a
5 time? Thirty or forty at a time?
6 MS. YAP: We're such a little one
7 compared to them, plus we have no attractions.
8 So I'm thinking maybe 50 to 80 people at the
9 given time. It is just something, you know,
10 so that we're at the block of 600. There is
11 literally nothing there.
12 MR. SALEEM: Nothing over there.
13 MS. YAP: So we want some activity
14 there so the crowds are not doing the little
15 flying whatever --
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sure. But that
17 space can hold a lot more.
18 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: So as long as you
20 have staff to handle it, it's up to you the
21 limit that you want to put on it.
22 MR. SALEEM: You want to say 100?
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 220
1 MS. YAP: Yes, 100, 150 if you
2 don't mind. I think that's maybe what we have
3 on there, yes.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, 150 but
5 you're going to have to have at least three
6 security people available for 150 people. You
7 understand that.
8 MS. YAP: Yes.
9 MR. SALEEM: Sure.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're going
11 to put down 150 in terms of number of people
12 on this license, is that correct?
13 MS. YAP: Yes. That's what we
14 had, yes.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you have all
16 age groups here. You're now telling me --
17 MS. YAP: The all age groups is
18 actually the festival. So we're not allowing
19 anybody who is under 21.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So I'm
21 going to ask you to make those two changes,
22 the number of people, we'll have someone bring
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 221
1 it up to you.
2 MS. YAP: Okay.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: The number of
4 people will be 150 according to what you're
5 saying now, and you'll say a 21 and older in
6 Item 18. So it's Item 20 and Item 18 you're
7 going to change on this.
8 MS. YAP: Okay.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: And you'll
10 initial it. And you're stopping at 7:00 p.m.,
11 is that correct?
12 MS. YAP: Yes.
13 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
15 MR. SALEEM: Opening before then.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Are there any
17 other questions?
18 MALE PARTICIPANT: All schedule, I
19 can't remember, 6:30 --
20 MS. YAP: 6:30 is our last call.
21 MR. SALEEM: We'll probably stop,
22 last call is 6:30. We stopping early like
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 222
1 everyone else.
2 MS. YAP: I want to go home. We
3 will be there at 3:30.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: I understand.
5 MR. SALEEM: We going to get it
6 over with.
7 (Crosstalk)
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: And it's going to
9 be a late night tonight. I mean, I know
10 you're going to be exhausted by Sunday.
11 MR. SALEEM: We're getting it over
12 with.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Mr. Saleem, we're
14 hoping for a great weekend for you. I think
15 you guys are going to have great weather. I
16 think it's going to be very successful.
17 MR. SALEEM: All right, thank you.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So any
19 other questions.
20 CHAIR MILLER: I just, I can't
21 remember now. You've been up here a couple
22 times before. Did you say something about
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 223
1 wristbands?
2 MR. SALEEM: Oh yes, we have
3 wristbands.
4 MS. YAP: Yes. We have
5 wristbands. That's how we are identifying the
6 21, checked 21 and then they get wristbands.
7 Then they come in, they get a ticket, and then
8 they buy.
9 MR. SALEEM: Green wristband says
10 H Street Festival 2013.
11 MS. YAP: Oh, ours is branded.
12 Yeay.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Save those as
14 souvenirs, right?
15 MR. SALEEM: Yes, that's right.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Mr. Ghenene?
17 MR. GHENENE: Mr. Alberti, were
18 you doing all three, or just the one?
19 CHAIR MILLER: All three, right?
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: You want to save
21 your comments until the end, or you can go
22 ahead for this one if you want.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 224
1 MR. GHENENE: No, it's not for
2 license 93159.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. I'm going
4 to go to the next one.
5 MR. GHENENE: Okay, thank you.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: So Mr. Ahn?
7 MR. AHN: Yes.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Can I do you
9 next?
10 MR. AHN: Sure.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Saving the best
12 for last. So where are you? What's the
13 address?
14 MR. AHN: So I think the easiest
15 way to think about it is the Murray's parking
16 lot.
17 CHAIR MILLER: Yes.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, I know
19 that, all right. So it's the parking lot.
20 MR. AHN: Yes.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So you're
22 almost, you're catty-cornered across the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 225
1 street from this bluegrass themed lot.
2 MR. AHN: Yes.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, I got you.
4 MR. SALEEM: This is Caribbean.
5 This is Caribbean.
6 MS. YAP: Caribbean.
7 MR. AHN: Caribbean themed.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, very good.
9 MS. YAP: Also not very
10 rambunctious people.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: I don't know.
12 You guys might set a precedent.
13 MS. YAP: Bob Marley people.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: You might be
15 bringing people down there.
16 MS. YAP: Oh no.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: You never know,
18 you never know.
19 MR. SALEEM: The bands are light.
20 MS. YAP: Bob Marley.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, all
22 right. I'll encourage people to go down and
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 226
1 visit you. So Mr. Ahn, that's a pretty wide
2 open space.
3 MR. AHN: Yes.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: So why don't you
5 talk to me. You've heard our concerns. Why
6 don't you go ahead and talk to me about what
7 your plans are.
8 MR. AHN: We're closing it in with
9 barricades. We have a security checkpoint.
10 And we have on the hour changing shifts and
11 volunteers with security.
12 We have a stage towards the back
13 of the -- we're having a checkpoint and then
14 that's where the security wristbands are going
15 to be given out, IDs are going to be checked.
16 And then people buy the ticket to
17 purchase the alcohol in a tent, and then they
18 go to the bar and they exchange their ticket
19 for the alcohol.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So what
21 part of that parking lot, it's the Murray's
22 property, it's a rectangular area that's the
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 227
1 Murray's proper parking lot?
2 MR. SALEEM: It's on the right
3 hand side.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Mr. Ghenene, are
5 you familiar with --
6 MR. GHENENE: Very familiar.
7 MR. SALEEM: It's the front right
8 hand side.
9 MR. AHN: Right. It's the front
10 right hand side of the Murray's parking lot.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, because
12 there's that government parking lot, but
13 you're not going to extend.
14 MR. AHN: Right, but we're closing
15 it off right there.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're closing it
17 off.
18 MR. AHN: Yes.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: What kind of
20 barricades are you going to use?
21 MR. AHN: I believe it's from the
22 --
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 228
1 MS. YAP: It's the same bike
2 racks.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: The same bike
4 racks, okay.
5 MS. YAP: Everybody's bike racks
6 are --
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you're going
8 to have the extra -- hopefully you'll have
9 crowds down there.
10 MR. AHN: Yes.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you do have
12 the responsibility to make sure that beer
13 isn't handed off.
14 MR. AHN: Absolutely.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: So you have that
16 extra responsibility because you're going to
17 have fencing all over, around. It's pretty
18 quiet over there. All right. So where is the
19 entrance and exit?
20 MR. AHN: The entrance and exit is
21 on H Street itself on the corner of 6th and H
22 on H Street.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 229
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: So right on the
2 corner there?
3 MR. AHN: Yes.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: On the western
5 corner of that lot?
6 MR. SALEEM: No, the eastern
7 corner.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: The eastern
9 corner?
10 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, closest to
12 Murray's?
13 MR. SALEEM: Murray's, that's
14 correct.
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Closest to
16 Murray's.
17 MS. YAP: The garden is close to
18 east, but the entrance is on the west. So the
19 west end of the barricaded area. But the
20 whole garden is on the east side.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh wait, run that
22 my be.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 230
1 MR. SALEEM: If you're standing in
2 front of Murray's --
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right.
4 MR. SALEEM: -- the garden is on
5 the eastern side. But the entrance itself is
6 on the western side of the garden.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: So I'm all
8 confused. So I'm standing there in front of
9 the parking lot.
10 MR. SALEEM: Yes. Let's say
11 you're looking at the parking lot now.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
13 MR. SALEEM: On that hand right
14 there is the entrance. On this hand right
15 here will be the barricades.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: So the barricades
17 are going to go all the way across the front.
18 MR. SALEEM: Right.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: And the entrance
20 will be?
21 MR. SALEEM: On that side.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: But the entrance
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 231
1 will be, instead of east and west, let's just
2 maybe closer to 6th Street, or closer to --
3 MR. SALEEM: Closer to 6th Street.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So it is
5 on the western end?
6 MR. SALEEM: On the western end.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, got you. I
8 may have misspoke earlier.
9 MR. SALEEM: All right.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: So it's on the
11 western end. So it's on the corner, so it's
12 close to the corner?
13 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes. All right.
15 All right. You're responsible, so if you're
16 not there, will you have licensed managers?
17 MR. AHN: Yes.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, where are
19 you guys getting the licensed managers from?
20 MR. SALEEM: Well, we have them
21 down on H Street, we have them on U Street
22 that's not doing anything. And these guys,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 232
1 they want to contribute, they want to
2 volunteer.
3 And we have some that's basically
4 underutilized. They have other jobs, but they
5 coming to H Street Festival to help us out.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, okay.
7 MR. SALEEM: Yes. You know some
8 of them.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, all
10 right. Okay, great. You know a lot of
11 people, Mr. Saleem. So you can drum these
12 people up. All right, so we are all under the
13 understanding that there's going to be either
14 the licensee or a board approved manager on
15 duty the whole time, all right?
16 MR. SALEEM: That's correct.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: You're serving
18 what kind of alcohol?
19 MR. AHN: Beer, wine and liquor.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Spirits, okay got
21 you.
22 MS. YAP: Spirits, yes.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 233
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Sorry. We just
2 have different terminology. And there's going
3 to be a band?
4 MR. AHN: Yes, there is going to
5 be a band on the stage.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, and you're
7 going until 7:00?
8 MR. AHN: Yes.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: As everyone else.
10 MS. YAP: Last call, 6:30.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Great. Questions
12 from everyone? Is this all ages, or is this
13 21 and over?
14 MR. AHN: Just 21 and over inside
15 the enclosed area.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Right, right.
17 Okay. So Mr. Saleem?
18 MR. SALEEM: Yes, sir.
19 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm totally
20 confused with the area. Okay, Mr. Saleem, I'm
21 going to just cut to the chase. It looks like
22 you are utilizing part of Sahara's property.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 234
1 MR. SALEEM: No, I'm not.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So that's
3 what, okay, that was my confusion. Tell me
4 what you --
5 MR. SALEEM: We have 12th and H
6 Street, on the corner on the southeast corner.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: I don't know what
8 I came up with that. Southeast corner, okay.
9 So you are, what is that building there?
10 MR. SALEEM: Auto Zone.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: Auto Zone, right,
12 right, right.
13 MR. SALEEM: That big corner --
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: It sounded like
15 public area right next to the Auto Zone.
16 MR. SALEEM: Right, we're right
17 there. And we are going to have barricades,
18 I think about 30, area. We have a 16 by 16
19 tent that's housed within that 30 by 30 that
20 you could see through.
21 We have a truck area tent, which
22 is a ten by ten right behind it. We have two
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 235
1 check stations on the outside. Basically this
2 is a tasting, and it's a very little bit of
3 alcohol and spirits being used.
4 This is a tasting. You'll get no
5 more than three one quarter of an ounce
6 tasting of vodka. It's a tasting.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, a vodka
8 tasting?
9 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right. So
11 okay, first --
12 MR. SALEEM: We will have
13 wristbands. You would be wristband, you would
14 get three bands. And you get wristband and
15 you get your ID checked.
16 So you're going to have security
17 there from, I think it's Alla Abaden I think
18 that we are bringing in for them. And they
19 would be servicing security throughout the
20 day.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so I come
22 in, I want to participate in the tasting,
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 236
1 what's the first thing I do?
2 MR. SALEEM: You come to our
3 outside bar area.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right.
5 MR. SALEEM: Outside stand. You
6 get your ID checked. After your ID is
7 checked, you have to go inside a tent which is
8 enclosed.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
10 MR. SALEEM: Within the 30 by 30
11 barricades, you have another tent that's
12 enclosed.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
14 MR. SALEEM: You go in that tent,
15 you get other information that you can deal
16 with the tasting. After you finish the
17 tasting --
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Wait, wait. Do I
19 pay my money?
20 MR. SALEEM: No, it's a tasting.
21 No money.
22 MALE PARTICIPANT: It's free.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 237
1 MR. SALEEM: It's free.
2 MS. YAP: It's free.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, this is free?
4 MR. SALEEM: This is free.
5 MS. YAP: Now you want to come.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, really. All
7 right. I'm trying to explain. So I come in.
8 So okay. All right, okay. And what do I get
9 to identify, so all right.
10 MR. SALEEM: No, you get bands,
11 you get bands to --
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Three bands?
13 MR. SALEEM: You get bands, strip
14 bands.
15 MS. YAP: Wristbands.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: You get
17 wristbands?
18 MR. SALEEM: Yes, you get
19 wristbands?
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
21 MS. YAP: So the procedure is
22 exactly identical to the rest of the bars.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 238
1 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So now I
2 go to the table where the tasting is.
3 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, and
5 how many tastings can I have?
6 MR. SALEEM: You can only have --
7 no, no.
8 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm not asking
9 for personal reasons.
10 MR. SALEEM: No more than three
11 quarter of an ounce.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay, so how do
13 you limit this?
14 MR. SALEEM: Three quarters of a
15 shot.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: How do I limit
17 this?
18 MR. SALEEM: I think they do a
19 host ID check when you come in. They do a
20 whole ID check and they put it on a list. You
21 put it on a computer list, they have a
22 computer list to tell them who's been here
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 239
1 before from the ID. So we're monitoring
2 through a computer.
3 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right.
4 MS. YAP: Also, the --
5 MEMBER ALBERTI: Well, once I'm in
6 there, I'm at the bar, I get my three small
7 sips I get. Then what do I have to do. Can
8 I stand around? I mean --
9 MR. SALEEM: Oh no. After you
10 have the tasting, you have to leave. You have
11 to move on.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: And so you have
13 staff directing people to do that?
14 MR. SALEEM: We have staff
15 directing people. We have, I think, up to
16 eight people directing people there at that
17 spot.
18 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay.
19 MR. SALEEM: Yes.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. There
21 really isn't much milling around --
22 MR. SALEEM: We have very
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 240
1 beautiful people.
2 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right, so
3 I'll have to come by. So how many people are
4 you expecting to be in there at one time?
5 MR. SALEEM: I don't think, the
6 tent is a 16 by 16. No more than ten to 15
7 people in the tent at any given time. I would
8 say 20 at the max. But no, we want them to
9 come and go. We don't want them hanging out.
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: You want them to
11 come and go. So there's no really milling
12 around, it's come and get a taste and get out.
13 MR. SALEEM: It's get your taste
14 and go. It's no hanging around, no talking.
15 Get it, enjoy it, get the experience.
16 MEMBER ALBERTI: Okay. So just, I
17 mean, I'm dotting all the i's and I know I'm
18 being kind of anal here, so I'm going to have
19 you cross out the 75,000 and just leave the 50
20 people, and you'll initial it.
21 MR. SALEEM: Oh, all right.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Someone will
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 241
1 bring it to you. All right, let's see if
2 there's any other changes. Any other
3 questions? Mr. Ghenene?
4 MR. GHENENE: The location,
5 cleared that up.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, we were
7 confused about the location. So all right, so
8 just that one change?
9 (Off microphone comment)
10 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's late, I'm
11 trying to get you guys out of here. I very
12 much appreciate you coming and staying. I
13 know that you are tied up with planning. And
14 so taking out time, I know, is not easy. So
15 we appreciate you coming in.
16 MR. SALEEM: Okay.
17 MEMBER ALBERTI: Hopefully this is
18 going to be a great success this year.
19 MR. SALEEM: All right, thank you.
20 MS. YAP: You're coming to all our
21 gardens.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'm not sure I'm
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 242
1 going to make all your gardens. But I will be
2 there. I'm going to try to make it from 4th
3 Street to 13th Street. That's a long, long
4 area to come by.
5 MR. SALEEM: Let me tell you
6 something. By the time you walk down, you
7 won't know it. Take my word, it'll be an
8 experience.
9 MEMBER ALBERTI: Oh, it was an
10 experience last year. It's just amazing.
11 It's amazing.
12 CHAIR MILLER: Two of those
13 applications are going to be amended, right?
14 The other one was okay?
15 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes. I think so.
16 Yes, just cross out those 75,000 and leave the
17 50. Yes, and just initial it.
18 (Off microphone comments)
19 MR. SALEEM: Hers and mine also,
20 right?
21 MS. YAP: Yes.
22 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, hers is
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 243
1 what?
2 MR. SALEEM: MF.
3 MS. YAP: Yes.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes.
5 MR. SALEEM: Okay.
6 MEMBER ALBERTI: It's all, yes.
7 Okay. Mr. Saleem, a couple things. We didn't
8 mention this earlier, but I would encourage
9 you to have everyone come in, apply earlier
10 next year.
11 MR. SALEEM: We will, yes.
12 MEMBER ALBERTI: All right? And
13 then we can do it in a couple short sessions,
14 or do them, you know, as they come in.
15 I know some people wait until the
16 last minute, but it's just easier on
17 everybody. And it is a big event, and we have
18 to do due diligence.
19 MR. SALEEM: I understand.
20 MEMBER ALBERTI: Because we do
21 this with all of our large events. And the
22 other thing is if you have any questions at
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 244
1 all, contact Mr. Ghenene, he knows everything.
2 He's great, and he'll be very helpful to you.
3 MS. YAP: Sunday worker.
4 MEMBER ALBERTI: Pardon?
5 MS. YAP: Sunday worker, cannot be
6 better than that. Works on Sunday.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, exactly.
8 Exactly, so we value his efforts.
9 CHAIR MILLER: You're fortunate to
10 have him at your event really. Yes. Okay.
11 MEMBER ALBERTI: I think that's
12 it. Thank you once again for coming.
13 (Off microphone comments)
14 MEMBER ALBERTI: I think we got
15 everything. Yes, everyone. I haven't signed
16 anything, so these are all --
17 (Off microphone comments)
18 MS. YAP: Are we dismissed?
19 CHAIR MILLER: You are.
20 MS. YAP: Oh, okay.
21 MEMBER ALBERTI: Yes, I thought
22 that was understood. Thank you very much.
202-234-4433Neal R. Gross & Co., Inc.
Page 245
1 MS. YAP: Oh, okay. We're
2 standing here, like, waiting for dismissal.
3 CHAIR MILLER: No, you are. Thank
4 you very much. Have a good night.
5 MS. YAP: Thank you so much.
6 Thank you.
7 MEMBER ALBERTI: Thank you. See
8 you Saturday.
9 MS. YAP: We would like to see
10 everybody Saturday.
11 MR. SALEEM: Everyone, all of you
12 guys come out.
13 MEMBER ALBERTI: I'll see you
14 Saturday.
15 (Off microphone comments)
16 CHAIR MILLER: That concludes the
17 Board's cases on today's calendar. And we're
