we met rory and robert. and i met rory and robert. and i told them that there was a serious problem and they they needed to do sound test and proofing before they moved in. they told us that they would and they were on the fence about whether or not they were going to take the space. this is the old cadillac building. it has got old windows it has got a lot of old functions in it. and we did sound proofing a couple of years ago in our unit. we had double insulation put in under our floors. so that we would have less of a problem with the sound transfer. we also bought the unit next to the staircase, because we would not be sharing as many walls. what is important to note here, is that there is a number of important things, but, the night that they had their opening, we did not even know that they were opening, so they opened without notice. and it was a jazz or a small jazz non-micked, maybe, i don't know what it was, i did not go down there and i said to my boyfriend, i said, i can hear a jazz kit. i could hear the snare and i could

the acoustics and it is all part of the experience that rory and robert are expert at it. they hire wonderful people and create a classy beautiful space in which everyone can enjoy the evening of the best music. they book such incredible performances from around the globe and those performers often need local musician and hire us to accompany them. they also book a lot of local talent and i can't even begin to express my gratitude toward them for giving so many local performers a chance to shine. and these are well-paid positions for the musicians and the exposure for an up scale venue is priceless. all of this is good for the musicians, the economy, great for the audience and for the community of san francisco in general. the razz room has also supported many benefits for a variety of causes in the bay area, it is a powerful, positive force in the community. and the down turn in the economy has taken its toll on all of us in the entertainment industry. and i am hoping that they can resolve these issues so that rory and robert could continue to be successful in their small

we have known robert and rory since the plush room and then it was empire plush room. and then razz, room at hotel mico and now live at rass. i concur with everything that everyone has said before us. they provide quality music and a variety of music. it is very rare for us to be able, especially resident, local musicians, who were very high class, performers, to be included in a venue such as theirs, as well as the higher class, or well or known legends and musicians and artists throughout the united states and overseas to be presented at the same venue. and frank and i would live there if we could because they bring in so many people. but we can't afford it. we do understand the issues with the sound and we do believe that these two people are the type of people who would want to correct that. they are obviously making effort to do so. their business is highly impacted by not being able to provide acoustic musician and music right now. and the public also which they have nurtured as well as all of the artists. there is a need and demand, i don't know if you are famil

rory and robert could continue to be successful in their small business, which means the world to all of us. we need them. thank you. >> thank you, very much. next? >> madam commissioner, commission, my name is shelly tatum, and i am here to speak on behalf of live at the razz. i have been working with them for about the last three years. prior to working with them, i had the opportunity to work with the show room and tommy ts. and i consulted both of them and i heard one speaker say that the others had... they think had sound issues and tommy gs wanted to do live and they eventually shut down the operation when in fact i think that with the show room, it was just bad management. they did have sound problems, they were tommy ts it was a comedy show and he did, he may have done a live show once or twice, but tommy, just didn't get the support that he got from the pleasanton tommy ts. i will say this about robert and rory, is that i with watched them over the last three years, and i will say that this is the first time that i have seen the people holding the lease go through the measure

rory is in caracas, the former bureau chief of "the guardian." his book is called "comman dante," it's just out, nicolas is a writer and reporter on latin-american affairs. rory, on the ground there, does it seem as though the successor is likely to be chavez light or is it possible that it could be some new opening and a change of ways? >> i think chavez light is not a bad way of putting it. we've seen already a streak from him this week, towards the united states, in accusing enemies of chavez of assassinating him through some form of biological warfare. that's obviously a sign that he intends to continue a high degree of rhetorical heat against the united states. but i think he's also going to win the election. he certainly is the favorite. and i think -- but unlike hugo chavez who used his charisma to glue his movement together, i think nicholas maduro is a different character. he doesn't have that charisma. he's more of a power broker. he will be trying to use his ability to negotiate the different factions to keep the revolutionary show on

>>> coming up next, at just 23 rory mcilroy is the world's top golfer but on friday he made a move that's stunned the world. you're going to hear that story. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday".

think with rory mcilroy he's generally liked on tour.ing rory mcilroy but they're not saying, okay i get this. he's under a lot of pressure. >> you've seen him under pressure before and he hasn't done this. >> no. it's something you don't see golfers do. you don't see tiger or anybody else walk off the golf course. it's troubling. >> you've been following him. so what do you think is happening here? >> i think it's -- people talked about he's changed clubs. there's a lot of expectations. he's 23 years old. he's won two majors. i think they're comparing him to tiger. he's not tiger woods. he's going to slump and miss. he's got a talent but he doesn't have the day in day out intensity. people say why doesn't he play every day. he's not that player. >> as you pointed out, he's only 23 years old which is still quite young and it's an enormous amount of pressure on him. >> oh definitely. tiger and rory are the rarity. most hit their stride in their 30s. yes, he's going to be somebody at the front of the game for a long time and think this wil

because rory is financial and i am creative and i booked the room i am not a tech person. what happens after patty lapone. >> at that point, the magnitude of the dollars with patty would be tremendous for us, first of all the amount of sales that we have. to refund those tickets, it would... >> it would put us. >> never, once we refunded. >> my question is this, then, what is the next act after patty and when? >> the next act i have acts every day what i would do is i would cancel now that we have three or four weeks out, not canceling the week you know the week of. >> so you don't have another major very expensive act after patty lapone? >> i do, but i can change them given enough time. >> so if you had enough time, you would be able to complete the sound proofing prior to any other further acts or any further. >> any further act. >> okay. >> i would like to make a suggestion and i don't know if this is proper. we have another permit to consider after yours. i would like to is it possible that we could recess this? ask you guys to go out in the hall and speak with your ne

on the other hand, also in tiger's playing group, top ranked rory mcilroy. his aching tooth gets the blame again but it was a struggle. 40 of the elite 65 players finished under par in the field. mcilroy was not one of them shooting a 1 over par of 73. the potential is there for a great weekend to golf if you're a golf fan. also if you're an nbc sports fan. right behind tiger is phil mickelson one stroke back. here's hoping for a tiger mcleson pairing on sunday. >>> the morning joe crew will discuss what it means for the gop going forward. >>> when we come back here around the water cooler, justin bieber's concert run in london has gone from bad to worse. first he shows up late for a show. then he collapses on stage. lucky for us, he's still sending out half naked pictures of himself from the hospital.
