We are not taking a licensee to the LCE. We are kicking around a place to meet and prepare for a meeting with the LCE. I can't think of a better place than an affected licensee's establishment at a central location. Other good possibilities would be Peter C's or Beer Bellies when Big John or Mark and George are present.Ron wrote:I don't think that taking a licensee with you to the LCE commander meeting would be a good idea, especially when the licensee has had recent violations.lonewolf wrote: ...

Granted, we need cooperation and feedback from club owners, but as a first impression, I think initially you should try to keep things focused on working musicians.
John, that would also give us a chance to hear the owner's side of actual shutdowns, dates, etc.
