Conversation with Dominic

Last night we went down to talk to Dominic. He showed us the famous 'document', which ended up being just an inspection form. According to Dominic (and it's worth saying that he wasn't there) a couple of 'guardia jurados' on behalf of the Ayuntamiento showed up and started bullying the waiter saying "we know you have live music on Sundays" and other crappy stuff.
In the end the report says that the pub has acoustic live music but they don't have a license, and that they have to install a volume regulator for the music system.

The famous 100.000 euro apparently include the sound proofing, which is done by a company certified that provides the document needed for the license. Clearly a case of 'contubernio' between the company and the City Hall.

Anyway, there's no much we can do really. I told D I'd do some research on the internet and told him to ask his lawyer (or Dubliner's Steven, for that matter) about the possibility of getting a Centro Cultural license. I also mentioned that we were doing the paperwork for setting up the organization and that I would try to find out if the pub could be our 'sede social', in a desperate try to find a gap in the regulation. Anyone knows a lawyer we could ask to?

D confirmed our suspicions that the Michael Collins DO have a music license.

In a totally different matter, we agreed with the D to start a forthnightly pub quiz next Monday (the 30th) at 10PM. Anyone interested?? The Prize: all beers consumed over the night free.
