First Week 2007 already here

2007 is just rolling in. It seems the years go by faster and faster these days. Our Heather has started therapy to rehabilitate her neck and although in more pain then usual, she is making great progress in range of motion. Heather is actually ready to get back to work, since she has been out since the car accident in early April.

If you have been coming to Zig's for a while you will notice a big change next time in, we have moved Cory from behind the sound board to the stage, as he becomes our new Emcee. We are changing the format, adding an Emcee and making our hosts be a feature comic now. We plan on doing a lot of in house production work to use for Cory's openings each show. So if you have sketch ideas or have produced a funny video we would love to help you grow as an artist and have a format to air your work.
The jazz went over very well with the comedy crowd and we plan on eventually having music before every show. We are looking for our house jazz band at this time so if you know anyone who likes to play, let us know.

We should have our sign within a week or two. What a fiasco, trying to do something different is very difficult in this cookie cutter world we live in. Trying to get someone to look outside of their box is extremely difficult these days. So the choice was, would we like block letters or perhaps we would prefer block letters.

Next week we start our scuba certification class. A small group of us are getting certified here in Alexandria at Splash Dive Center, and then the fun begins. Planning our first dive trip has turned in a party in itself. We get together, usually at Southside, and discuss our possible destinations and dives that we can do. So far it is one big dive party. If you are interested you are more then welcome to join us for the fun.

Comedy Zone had two great shows with Just June this past weekend. Next up is Tim Kidd, a very funny man. Last time here we have a party during his show and the best compliment we could receive is they are coming back for this weekend's show since they enjoyed him so much last year.

We really like the comedy crowd here at Zig's. They are an entree ordering, martini drinking, not afraid to spend any money crowd that appreciates great service. And that is what we do, we try to exceed your service expectations every visit. Our staff is second to none when it comes to anticipating your needs. Put us to the test, we love to show off.

We are starting to see more people during the week for dinner that were exposed to Zig's through the comedy show. That is a compliment to Magic, Jose, and Robert because it is the food that brings them back during the week.

We have to choose our Oriole games for the bus trips this week. It looks like the Yankees are coming to town three times this year. We are looking at Tuesday June 26th, Sunday July 29th and Sunday September 30 (last weekend of the season). We might run into some conflicts with the Steeler schedule in September but we are rolling the dice picking the date. We think Friday and Saturday night would be worse for us with the comedy show. So next time in you might want to sign up for the bus, which will sell out before the start of baseball. This is our sixth year doing the bus trips to Camden Yards and the amount of fun we have is unbelievable, and we even get to see a little baseball along the way. (Lauren has been to three games and has not seen any baseball yet.....). Ever been to the Camden Club? It is the only way to see a game with a large group like ours, especially since Lumpy is behind the bar.

We look forward to a wonderful 2007 starting this weekend and are glad to have 2006 behind us at this point.
See you next year at Zig's,
Tom and all the staff at Zig's
