Yoshi's engineer goes on rampage at the Oakland location

OAKLAND _ A Yoshi's musical engineer is in custody this morning after he entered the jazz club on Embarcadero at 8:45 a.m. and destroyed equipment with a baseball bat, Oakland police said. Yoshi's will reopen tonight. But the employee, Dan Tettiti, was arrested for felony vandalism, police said. He took a baseball to dressing rooms, as well as office and performance areas, police said. He damaged computers and pictures, and turned over tables and chairs. Police estimated the damage at $10,000. Tettiti refused to speak to officers or explain if he used his keys to enter.

The rampage stemmed from a dispute that broke out between music engineers and performers at Yoshi's Wednesday night.

The opening act was R.O.D. & Friends, a group that preforms sign language to recorded music. A record-release party connected to a vintage DJ series called "45 Sessions" followed. It is not clear what provoked the dispute or who was involved besides Tettiti.

Someone has finally gone and done what we've all wanted to do at one point or another. Wonder what set him off?

As someone else commented, probably sitting through a set of a group performing sign language to recorded music. Easily enough to drive anyone insane.

Actually if there was any sign language "to recorded music" it was gang signs. R.O.D. and Friends are a hip hop group.

The story linked also has the involved persons name wrong it isn't "Tettiti". He's been working for this venue for many years.

Subsequent stories have corrected his name and gotten the genre of the music involved right.

The rest of the details, I'm sure, will take a while to come out.

Yeah. Being give the finger(s) by a whole troop of people would be unpleasant.

News as later updated:

"Police said Pettit felt that he was defending a colleague whose sound engineering during Wednesday night's performances had caused concern. The opening act was rhythm and blues musician R.O.D. His last set ended without incident at 10 p.m."
