Particular five years ago, that they are not experiencing the fight the same thing. It speaks to one of the priorities. The neverending city. Or something. I do not remember, exactly, but it is the same basic concept. Even if you come here several times over and over, you will not have the same experience. As we do that, enhancing certain things. Live stages have bigname bands. Headlining the folsom street fair, people are now looking forward to our entertainment in ways they did not 10 years ago. Commander, how do we prepared to assist an outdoor event . What training do the folks on the street have when engaging with patrons of the event . I am sorry, i have never heard of little booth. Not my genre, i guess. You know, all of our officers receive a lot of training at the Academy Level and the special Operations Group on crowd control. You all know the chief was year earlier. An outstanding job, he spoke to everyone, it all comes down to us all, all the way down to the online troops.
Sort of spices up the meeting. For us, i think the most important thing we are offering is something quintessentially San Francisco. Something that they cannot find anywhere else. We have two fetish fares in San Francisco. There are only three other cities in the world that do that. New york, toronto, and berlin. I have been to all three and they are not nearly the same size as well we produced, or nearly as diverse. What we are always thinking about is what we are offering people that is so quintessentially San Francisco that we get it cannot be gotten anywhere else. We are also told the switching of the entertainment this year. We have dance areas where the slides used to be. I think that for us it is about making sure that people, even if they came to San Francisco in particular five years ago, that they are not experiencing the fight the same thing. It speaks to one of the priorities. The neverending city. Or something. I do not remember, exactly, but it is the same basic concept.
I love good food, music and art, creativity in general. I tried to reflect that in the venue. By booking manager had an opportunity in lake tahoe. I love San Francisco and the diversity here.

When it is open to all the folks in the city, problems of violence and things like that do not tend to come along. Thank you. Thank you. I love my panel. In the producer of the largest fetish event next year. Thank you, from the. [laughter] i wanted to start with you, jeffrey. This is a big thing of mine. Everyone says that they love good food and music. I love a good cocktail. Obviously, that is part and parcel of the issue that came up around all ages, 21 and over. Other than looking Great Entertainment on the stage, how do you plan to make sure the or patrons have a great experience . Aside from what they are seeing, maybe . It is artistic. Right off the bat, when you enter
Laws have evolved and we are the ones who are stuck with enforcing them the way that they are. That does not necessarily mean that we think they are particularly good ideas, but we certainly want people to grow, prosper, and be saved. That can be achieved in all sorts of ways. We want to work with you on that. Thank you. I was the founding president of the Entertainment Commission. I retired and went on to found the culture association, the first trade association statewide for night life, bar, and restaurant activities. I am here with a question that plagues a lot of these license holders, who desire to have their establishment opened for all age dance parties, or 18 and up, and are being handed a restriction in the conditioning process that requires them to sell 50 food and 50 alcohol, in direct contradiction to the underlying statute that defines a bonafide eating place and put an onerous requirement that cannot be met and makes those Business Owners immediate felons and creates a s
Im sorry, marin county. It is the same sort of problem. Part of the argument is just like i it was a kid coming in, people come in from all over the area to eat in San Francisco restaurants. They come from all over the world. Again, this governor is going to support everyone locally. I lot of that will have to come from you to accomplish what is right for the city. How do we do that . [unintelligible] i blame these guys for conditions. This time, i will blame fee on the mall and senator leno. Fiona ma and senator leno. Their limited by statute, but that is very difficult to have much room to maneuver. You said to organize local bars. I have been trying to do that for a few years now.
