00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: to go from being touring musicians to owners of a bar.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: And I got a phone call from my capiano that

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,559

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: don't even have a permit, and I guess, well, I'll

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: get my guys over there. So the next with the

Speaker 3: We got the glasses out of the boxes by about

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: three or four, and we opened the doors at five

17
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,680

18
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 5: like kind of dying out in the world, so it

19
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,239
