    I'm curious...

    why exactly did they shut you down?

    In my hometown In Spain the police have been getting increasingly arsey
    with clubs and bars, trying to shut down all that are in the towncenter
    and driving them towards the outskirts...

    But by the sound of it HotHouse was closed down for something quite
    sinister... Was it the Cuba thing?

    Chicago's HotHouse, the city's promoter of world music was recently
    closed
    down by Chicago police between performances of Cuba's Orchestra Aragon.
    This
    was entirely politically motivated and sends a chill down the spine of
    anyone interested in cultural exchange. HotHouse incurred losses in the
    many
    thousands of dollars because of this, since it was closed for at least a

    week and had to cancel all of its booking. If you are in Chicago this
    weekend, go out and support free expression and this important venue:

    This Friday HotHouse is hosting a benefit concert at the Metro with two
    really hot bands, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and Yerba Buena.

    Originally scheduled at the HotHouse, the owner of Metro generously
    provided his space to HotHouse for this special purpose.

    All proceeds go to the HotHouse to help us continue the fight to keep
    our doors open. The two bands are amazing. It's for a great cause.
    Please forward this to everyone you know and help us fill the house for
    an amazing night!
