cross post from the Café Van Kleef tribe:

I have just written an email to Barbara Killey as directed in the email below, and also found this story from the East Bay Express: www.eastbayexpress.com/Issues...er.html

Why does this matter to those in this tribe? Well, Cafe Van Kleef was the first place I ever went to go see Dr. Abacus, and I continue to go there every month when they play on the Third Thursday. To not be able to go see them there would be pretty lame... please take a moment to plan to attend the hearing, call, or email Barbara Killey to let her know how feel about this subject.

On Thursday May 25th at 3:00 pm in Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 2, there will be a public hearing to determine if Peter can continue to provide live music at Café Van Kleef.

Peter’s new landlords have been trying to stop him from giving local artists a place to play for the past few months. The landlords are expected to appear at the hearing and send letters opposing the music scene at CVK. This would not only hurt the Café, but the musicians that regularly play there.

If you want to be heard you are welcome at the public hearing. If you can’t make it but would like to support there being art and entertainment in the Arts and Entertainment district, you can call or send an e-mail to Barb Killey, the hearing officer that will be deciding whether Oakland will allow live music to continue at CVK. If you plan on coming you might want to let her know so that they have a big enough room reserved.
