Zazoo's Cabaret License Hearing Scheduled
The City of Oakland has scheduled the Cabaret License Hearing for Zazoo's for Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 6:30pm. The Hearing will be held at City Hall in Hearing Room 2 (although check Hearing Room 4 upstairs just in case).

If you cannot attend the meeting they recommend sending letters to:

Barbara Killey, Hearing Officer
One Frank Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA 94612

Or via email to Ms. Killey at bkilley@oaklandnet.com.

After my experience with the Mingles hearing, I would suggest sending a letter and attending, but be careful about giving out your name in the hearing. I would suggest that you ask the Hearing Officer to ask all in the room to provide their name if you are to provide yours. There were commenters in the back of the room at the Mingles hearing that never had to give their name because they only heckled from the back - they never spoke from the podium. It makes me nervous to think that they know who I am, but I have no idea who they are. They may work for one of the clubs or be a patron, or perhaps they had some other reason to attend the meeting.
