he has no incentive to cooperate. >> that's his last bit of control over venus. >> reporter: venus' brother gave it one more shot at the formal sentencing hearing, an appeal to decency. >> it is not too late for doug to do the right thing. he can repent for his wrongdoing, tell us where my sister's body is. >> reporter: shackled at the legs and hands, doug wasn't giving an inch. >> i'm innocent. i did not do these crimes. >> reporter: his story rejected out of hand by a jury that needed only three hours to convict him was nothing if not consistent. "dateline" found that out in our interview the month after the verdict at the st. joseph county jail. you're saying you didn't do it and you don't know where she is. >> absolutely not. >> reporter: if we're talking about why you're here, there is the evidence of that fingerprint on that tarp cover, the material seen in the walmart video and prominently that receipt that was found in your truck. do you have anything to counter that evidence? >> i believe we've already done everything in court and i don't want to talk about evidence spesktcally rel

the current venue as it exists, has it been troubled recently? >> shine is a small lounge and because of its location and demographic and its programming, we never had problems. we have no history of violence and no -- the only sound complete we had was six years ago. five years ago. even then it was a minor thing that was resolved. >> commissioner cavellini: southern police has requested you install a camera. is that the condition that you had? >> i am assuming mr. king did that with the agreement of the conditions. >> president newlin: is there anyone from the public? seeing none, commissioners? >> commisioner joseph: second. >> [roll call vote] >> commisioner joseph >> presid. next item, the approval of minutes. which is item 2, review and approve the minutes of june 28. any questions? any public comment? yes, sir, come forward. >> commisioner joseph: can i move to approve? same house, same call? >> president newlin: item three. report of the executive director. if you wanted to go, you're free to do so. report of the executive director? >> co

how many venues -- how many folks have already contacted you? can you give me some sort of idea how -- >> our office specifically? >> well, give me a big, big number. >> our understanding from the shawl business office and from jocelyn is that scores of people have contacted them. we don't have a -- we haven't been creating a tally. i think it's been estimated that somewhere near 100 people have come to either our office or the small business office or jocelyn. and has said that they are interested in presenting some type of limited performance at their venue. but we -- specific count, i can't give you. er >> already. say we sort of set aside the notion that this is a folk singer in a cafe. >> well, let me be clear about that. this very clearly states that entertainment is an accessory use and it's not the primary use and it's live and it's limited until 10:00 or less. so it is modest and it is limited. and it is an akcessory use so both singers and guitar players are a part of that, yes. >> i have a question. would it be accurate to say that a

and programmed as america's cup speck tailor venues. i'm go through some of what that looks like. and peers 30, 32 would be the team bases and piers 26 and 28 are other supporting uses for the event authority and the media and team partners. pier 19 and 23 would be the same thing. and piers 27 and 29 are the america's cup and to see them lead and would be the start-finish line. since a number of the port locations will be under construction, the focus of the 2012 event are the waterfront. so i will walk through this in a moment. first is marina green and the pre-and post-race announcement and where the boats come in and there will be hospitality functions and there is also space for media operations and per the e.i.r. we are focussing on the most conservative view and it is not clear that the uses will have to be all here. and this is more focused on hospitality for the public and spectator locations and restaurant and food and drink and other facilities as well and likely the same for 2012 and 2013. >> and the displays for spectator en

addressed in his new book, venus on fire, mars on ice. welcome back. >> it's always a pleasure. >> always nice to have you here because i think -- what's he going to say now and that makes sense. you have a burning bush in your back yard with all of the anns and i feel like the title of this venus on fire and mars on ice i feel like i should have a complimentary hot flash on demand to be sporting here. >> it's about hormonal balance. hugely affects our relationships. and people don't always realize that how powerful hormones are. you think it's your partner. you think it's the situation. but really if your hormones are out of balance, whatever you see is not good enough. and for women what they experience when they are stress hormone is elevated is eight times nor blood flow to the emotional part of the brain than a man. and during that time she will experience temporary amnesia and forget any good thing he has done. >> and let me ask you one thing. most will say, i know, venus on fire, hot flashes and whatever. >> not just that. >> why i

we will be testing inside their homes as well as inside and around the venue. these are poe's that have a history of some complaints in the past, and now they are coming under new ownership or management, we have an opportunity to correct past sound issues. restaurants doing entertainment, as this commission has heard from the inspector and other officers from sfpd -- we are definitely seeing an increase in entertainment being done at restaurants. mickey this can be a simple dj at a happy hour -- this can be a simple dj at a happy hour or something more involved. we have worked with the permit office recently. this is a topic that has been coming up more and more for all of us. we are renewing our effort, especially working with the alu, to look into those complaints a little more frequently, whereas often they get pushed to the side when we have other things to do. with the economy being what it is, i think restaurants are trying to do what they can when they can to bring people in. complaints due to the questionnaire being online -- thank you crystal -- and w

celebrity shows that come through our large venues and more.usicians whose livelihoods come from working in the many restaurants, clubs and cafes throughout the city. these are extraordinarily hard timeses for musicians. we hear of orchestras filing for bankruptcy because giving has been drastically cut for the arts. government support is virtually nonexistent and shrinking court and -- corporate and individual give something not giving up with the cost of doing business. what we don't hear about is the plight of the last cat gore of musicians for whom we advocate. the club musicians on count on the availability of venues to piece together a living. what they give to our community with their music is immeasurerable enriching our lives and culture on a daily basis. in return the vast majority of these musicians live at a subsistence level. what they need is your help for attaining decent wages for the work. the union's hands are tied in this regard since the law requires the band leaders as the employer, not the club or restaurant owner. they ne

we did the labor complaints, both of these venues were having some sound problems. staff attended last week on june 22. there was an additional follow- up meeting at central station. the outcome for both included increased calls to assist in managing crut noise at the end of the night. a thing they will report for soundproofing. when i finish, he can pick up from there. i wanted to let the commission know about progress of the implementation of the promoter legislation. we're working on the creation of the first ever online promoter registration. of authority with them, is taking longer than i anticipated. my aim is to reveal that registration online. i think it is a perfect place and time to do that. and hopefully that is what i am going to push for and have a testing time before we put it out in the world. that is the early august timeframe. and lastly, the budget has not been finalized by the board yet. the entertainment commission budget at this time has been capped. it is a positive thing in light of the problems that san francisco has with the budget and in ad

it shouldn't be that people are suffocating ip side the venues. president olague: commissioner miguel. commissioner miguel: i would like to thank supervisor mirkarimi for this legislation. unfortunately or fortunately, commissioner borden brought me back too many years. i was actually there when ginsburg and cariwack were reciting poetry to the accompaniment of music. it was san francisco. and aside from that, i have really only one question. and i was con

so why wouldn't it continue to be a venue, music until 2:00 a.m. and i applaud you for taking the expense to do all the soundproofing and the music improvements to make it a very livable space and you make a great point. when someone goes to a bar you still want to be able to talk to other people and when you have the music too loud and it's usually restaurants that don't have a deejay the music is superloud and you always have to tell them to turn it down several times. i think it's really impressive that your support, looking at the signatures is really right there in the neighborhoods, you live in the neighborhood, there's been no complaints, the property owner likes you. and i understand that from staff, the reason the restriction was put on is because you're in an r district but i'm going to move to approve and have it until 2:00 a.m. >> second. >> commissioner big ell -- commissioner miguel? commissioner miguel: yes, just one comment even though i'm supporting this. i wish more people in the entertainment industry, the bar industry, if they'r

this venue has been an entertainment location for more than 40 years. next door is where it was originally read. they have owned the business since the mid-90s and introducing commitee last year was a huge success. the have not had any problems with the neighborhood. we contacted both of those people and one of them said that they were concerned about the live music. there is never any live music, so he was clearly talking about a larger neighborhood issue. another neighbor said that basically they are against all an intensification of entertainment in the neighborhood. i wanted to say that this is a great venue. i appreciate what you have done that earlier today. i believe that the comedy component of the comic club would meet the requirements as defined in the item you approved earlier. they have a small stage area, it makes perfect sense. it would be a great place for a new talent to come in if he wanted to try his hand at stand- up comedy. it would be a good place to do it. this is a good venue as any to get your comedy out. i would strongly encoura

it shouldn't be that people are suffocating ip side the venues. president olague: commissioner miguel. commissioner miguel: i would like to thank supervisor mirkarimi for this legislation. unfortunately or fortunately, commissioner borden brought me back too many years. i was actually there when ginsburg and cariwack were reciting poetry to the accompaniment of music. it was san francisco. and aside from that, i have really only one question. and i was confused -- i understood but am confused on the 200 square feet bit. i am thinking of a strolling guitar. the old fancy restaurants that had a strolling violinist. the opera singer that doesn't necessarily stand in one place and that part of it, i think i understood why there is a limiting concept but i am not sure it is. any comment? >> it is a gray area. commissioner miguel: i have a problem with it. >> sophie hayward, we, too, were conflicted about how to approach the limitation of square footage. the intent was to highlight that it was a limited live performance and thought about the ideas such

all three of those venues are basically violating the same issue which is operation without a permit or a place of entertainment. all three are restaurants. it goes back to what we talked about in the past, the increase of restaurants. it is a hard economic time to make ends meet. the rest, we have had the violence that you see, there is nothing majorly out of the ordinary that makes it above kind of the average of random club of violence. it is actually a good thing. so far, we are finishing up in june. june, july, august can be hard months for the entertainment industry so far as violence. the summer is starting off pretty tame. it has to do with the work done by the staff and the work done by the police department and closely monitoring and managing entertainment out bear. president newlin: i would lik e to go to item number six. supervisor wiener is waiting to participate. the commission may adopt the recommendation concerning this ordinance. supervisor wiener? >> the sponsor of the legislation is actually supervisor mirkarimi. the supervisor from the office is here to talk about

the next one, event venues. this is planned -- programming at the park lands and programming of the waterfront, and also, what we would like to do is expand the breadth of that conversation to other places. with public access, views of the bay, and economic opportunities where we really want to see the economic promise brought home. the last, but certainly far from the least important, it is the water cord nation. the u.s. coast guard has taken a leading role in been extremely collaborative, and we appreciate it. they have led a number of meetings, including presentations at the harbor safety committee. convening of marine task force and shipping and recreational boating interest, as well as the neptune coalition of law enforcement agencies. i think we have already seen a great deal of cooperation across those platforms, and we look forward to doing that in a way that not only brings these grievance forward, the safeguards the bay as a key way for commerce and recreation as well as commuters and transportation.
