Behind the scenes

 * "Blind pig" is an old American slang term for a speakeasy. The term derives from a practice that certain speakeasy operators used to circumvent prohibition, whereby they would charge customers an admission fee to view a curiousity (typically an animal), then serve them a complementary alcoholic beverage. This practice allowed them to serve alcohol while technically obeying the ban on its the sale.
