Everybody showed up on monday afternoon and began to make a bar for the place.
some sowed up with saws to make the bar with the wood donated.
there was no carpenter around so everyone improvised.
the bar was rough and we painted it black since it was the only paint we had.
We loved it.
The bar was just being assembled and most woodboard had not been nailed yet, when an police truck arrived with at least 25 policemen and police women.
they stormed in, since the door was open and asked us to see our licences and permits.
we laughed since the place had not oficially opened and we were still building.
they said they had gotten calls that satanic kids were in the place and looked for drugs which they didn't find.
one policeman began to check under the bar with a flashlight and we warned him that the bar was not stable and that it would fall on his head if moved since it hadn't been nailed in yet.

we all laughed and they just threaten us that if they didn't see the permit they would close the place down.
WE laughed again and said "Can't you see we are not even open yet? we are building! we don't need a permit for this.
Once we innagurate you'll see all permits on the wall.
They finally left but not without threats and pushing people around showing their guns and handcuffs.
this was Our first of many threats from policemen called by th liars from the fundamentalist churches which were in permanent session.
