paradice bluz revoked?
October 23, 2007 | 05:01 AM

aloha gang, this is chris from paradice and i just want to thank everyone for your support on my case. there is alot going on with the case and i understand everyones anger. i want to focus in on the lifes that were lost for a minute. I want to publicly acknowledge the families and friends of the lifes that were lost. I am sorry that paradice bluz is considered at fault for this horrific lose.
I have and always had responsible bartenders that had many years experience behind a bar. I will continue to support my staff in every way. In less you have been in this business or around it for a long time, do not think you can answer the question of intoxication. Soon you will see what i am talking about with proof to people of Maui. I did not open a club to get people drunk, I opened it for one fact only, to make people happy with great music. Now it is gone and i have been judged by people that probably never stepped foot into a bar. The commision is to protect the people and the establishments, from my experience it seems like they put you in business to try and take you out. Its a big circle and It took me sixteen years in this town to figure that out. for the record, I have been in management in the restaurant industry for 13 years and had no prior violations runing 5 other establishiments. My first violation was for a musician stepping off the stage onto the dance floor to sing to a girl and i didnt receive a permit for that. This happened in the 2nd yr of business at paradice bluz. Then the board told me I guess your 15 year employee manual was not enough. I have learned from the best of the best and they will never be able to take that away from me. Yes no one is perfect, i love going to the office and asking a liquor question and they have to open the book to answer it, but we have to know it off the top of our heads. Sorry we have a business to run. help us run ours not ruin it. I do not have any problems with the lc, but i will continue to fight to prove my innocence. this was with out a doubt unjust and wrongfull prosecution. Again thank you for everything and to the families involved I am extremly sorry for your lose but understand i am not admiting guilt.
