>> i do text scott when i go out in his neighborhood. it's great to see such a great diversity of businesses that are represented this month. i have what i feel is a very unique small business and i wanted to bring 1:00 am gallery. 1:00 am gallery, for those of you that may or may not know is one of our most important ten tenants or the sixth street corridor. they first opened their doors [inaudible] wanted their company to embody the passion for freedom of speech [inaudible] inspires a growing number of the general public on the street for arts and exhibitions and teaches workshops and classes. i first met daniel in 2010 when i was

running for this office and had an opportunity to /aeu /tepbld one of the [inaudible] events that the [inaudible] brian [inaudible] and brian is most well known for the building with the furniture falling out of it across from 1:00 am gallery. san francisco has

also had a very long history of graffiti and it's fun to go to some of your events when they seeing those young

folks of me generation that grew up with these arttists just fawn over folks that have really made an impression on some of their young people. [inaudible] specialized if graffiti, urban and vinyl toy art. these are large scale murals with positive images. these art forms range -- graduates and china town community development center. they launched most recently the 1:00 am mobile app. it allows people to capture images only street and share you through

the app. as you share these you can share, id, follow and comment. it provides accurate directions to current and preexisting pieces. i think what i look for in small businesses is not just to contribute to economic development, but to businesses that contribute to our neighborhoods. people were struggling to make sixth street a safer place to be and they had done a lot of work. it's amazing to see the changes for the residents. i really want to commend you for being there and for all your contributions

and for elevating art here in san francisco locally. >> thank you. it's an honor to be honor. ed my name is daniel pen, born and raised here. i'm proud of san francisco and how much it's changed here. right now we're in a growth period and technology and what not. i started this company in 2008 with the intent to offer this freedom of speech with an expressive art form to it. there's a lot of voices out there that don't get heard. more importantly you guys were talking about clear channel.

this is somewhat in my normal day job just the voice of the hats. and there are a lot of voice for the /sra notes and it's not to say they don't have any power or say but sometimes they can't express that 'cause they can't rent a billboard or do a march so i want to up hold this american tradition that's really emerging as worldwide [inaudible]. in summary we do showcase street and urban artists from around the world and we do offer educational opportunities for people to /hrerpbl about the art culture. we offer team building workshop for groups including schools, high schools, colleges, all different types of groups. and we also offer

the art supplies that are a part of the culture, as well as launching our new 1:00 am mobile app, which is the beginning of a real archive of how street art is worldwide. it's born and raised in san francisco. my brother created it. he went to cal poly and he developed it after that. the arts is something i want to put at the forefront that we have a lot of fire power in this department and so far this the app a lot of the images are from there. we had 2000 followers in the /tp*eurls month we had the app out. it's worldwide now so i'm happy for that. i don't have much to say other than the neighborhood is a difficult place to be. i have no complaints. the

substation has improved the foot traffic and the /skwrepbl feeling of the street. i see a lot more presence, makes me feel more comfortable. the building itself is something i undertook personally to /khraoepbl up and a lot of the issues with the building were from within. so taking this challenge on, taking the space on and creating 1:00 ammed like a real good fit. a lot of things in any life slowed down so this was a great opportunity to give back and reflect on what i really wanted to do. i don't see myself stopping this any time soon and i love san francisco and the arts. i know graffiti is a big word and topic and i would love to engage any and everyone that would love to engage me about

this topic. in tune with the community. the community outside of district six spans to all districts here. i think everyone from even -- not all these artists are within that district, but i do foal that we would be able to help with the issues at hands regarding street art and graffiti. thanks for the op opportunity to speak. >> they do have monthly exhibits. i encourage you all to attend, but what is great for him is that he wants to give back to youth programs. if you have schools or youth programs in your community,

connect with him. he's always looking for more ways to connect with other neighborhoods. thank you. >> congratulations. i want to invite you to my district to create 2:00 am gallery. >> finally, come on up meek -- michael. i am honoring a

native to san francisco. actually, michael served on the small business commission for about eight years and the reason why -- i know mike has been honored or recognized in the past for various things. no? well, before the independent was the independent, it was the justice league and it was the one place where i and my friends could go to. we were welcomed in this /srepbl ewe, we were also performers in this /srepbl ewe. venue. a lot of the group [inaudible] music wise and michael opened his door to new innovative and creative ideas. he's a lot older than i am, but

that just shows you the kind of person he is and the kind of activity he allowed to happen. he stayed in the district and he's raising his kids in the district, but he continues to be actively engaged and active in the community. i want to say a few things about the independent, which is located in the heart of the western division. it's been a long standing city institution and has some of the best rock, indie and hip hop shows in the district. there's always a long line, whether it be music, but also comedy shows and other

events. michael's -- his suck success with the independent is a true success story and his parents were irish immigrants who came here in is 1960s. we won't hold it against him that he went to [inaudible] but he also went to uc berkley. his dedication to small business, spirit led him to open the independent where he continues to be a leader and innovator in the arts industry. in 2009 it was nominated as the best small green business and it is

michael's goal to create the first grn rock venue in the country. he works with the police department, working with dpt, working with the city in a way that i think sets the trends for how the night life industry should do business with the city. i want to thank you for your commitment to san francisco, thank you for your commitment to the night life industry and thank you for your

innovative and creative way for san francisco. >> thank you. thank you for taking the time to honor all of us today. when i was listening to london speak, i was like, wow, this is a of stuff that london did for the african american center. when i decided to open up space on the [inaudible] the streets were fairly slow and it's come a long ways. and one interesting they think caveat -- i know /*efrpbl everyone has stuff to do, but in '96 i was opposing a youth curfew that was on the ballot at the

time. i don't think that looked very goods at age 50 when all the permits were processed there. it then took a year-and-a-half, three different trips to the board of per met appeals. i can't prove this, but i suspect that i'm the only live venue that got a permit by literally beating the police at the board of appeals. i was an an sish girls basketball game recently and i [inaudible] and we just laughed so small business people -- you just gotta

persevere. never gonna be easy and there's no guarantees, but we have fun. so yeah, thank you. >> thank you soup supervisor breed. i want to thank all of my colleagues and all awardees and all of you, and thank the staff of our city's office of
