No, It's not the wrong acronym. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms decided to pay Speaking In Tongues, the venue for
last friday's Brinkmann event, a visit along with 30 or so of
Cleveland's finest. Apparaently they were under the impression
that there was an illegal bar/speakeasy at Speak In Tongues and
were quite pissed/embarrassed when they found nothing but
200 people getting down to Brinkmann's Soulcenter-styled
tech-house. So, just to be difficult, the ATF & cops decided
to ticket anybody with an open container for drinking in a
public place even though Speak In Tongues is a private BYOB
club. Needless to say the people who were ticketed were pissed
but even that couldnt bring us down from the high that
Brinkmann & RRR were taking us to. Finally, as the ATF and
police were leaving, the clueless police chief said, "hey you guys
need to keep that radio of yours down" and when we told him it
was a concert he said "but were are the instruments?" Yup,
definitely one of cleveland's finest...
