The Week ahead in Review

Another great week ahead at Zig's.
Friday and Saturday Night with Mike Venneman this weekend. Mike is an excellent comic. He is a great story teller, talking about his wife and daughter with every day observations which leave you hurting from laughter. Mike was just on Late Night and is working on a special for Comedy Central, so once again we expect a good crowd.
Last Saturday was another sold out show. We actually turned away people who did not have reservations, so please let us know you are coming because we hate to turn anyone away, no matter how good it is for business. The show was awesome last weekend with Mike Storck performing his brand of intellectual humor to two full shows.
We put the jazz on again Saturday night and received rave reviews. We are trying to have music every Friday and Saturday before the comedy show starts. The ambiance that we created is wonderful and very conducive to enjoying a fine meal and show. Look for them on February 9th and 16th this month (both Fridays) before the Comedy Zone with their set starting at 6 PM. They are also on the schedule for a couple of Thursday nights this month. Please check our calendar for more information. Instrumental music before the show is something that came from a suggestion on a report card. We are currently working on scheduling the music before every show. We read every Report Card and share them with our entire staff, so please if you have any suggestions or ideas, or even a compliant please know we take the report cards very seriously. The Report Card is where we get the emails for this list to grow also.

In last week's letter we mentioned the boy who was observant enough to get a description of the white pick up truck that kidnapped his friend. Well it turns out that the kid just turned 15 (which is the age for a driver license in his state) and Chrysler gave him a brand new white pickup as a gift. That's a great move on Chrysler's part.

Super Bowl week is upon us. Not quite like last year at Zig's. Without the Steeler's seats will be available this year. Hopefully the game will be as good as the party because we know the party will be a blast. No DJ for the Super Bowl because people actually want to listen to the commercials. We will have lots of great gifts and prizes to give away. Kick off is at 6:28 PM on Sunday evening. We currently have quite a few reservations already, so if you want to have a table waiting for you let us know you are coming.
Add to that the Hip Hop show on Thrusday night at 10 PM, and you get a full weekend of activity at Zig's.
Thursday Hip Hop, Friday and Saturday the Comedy Zone, and Sunday the Super Bowl, a full weekend of fun and games. Even Monday, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays are fun at Zig's with Johnny behind the bar working with one of the girls.
Let me introduce Johnny to you all. Johnny works at my favorite spot in the world. Those of you who know me, know that would be Seacret's in Ocean City, Maryland. During May thru September Johnny works at Seacret's Nite Club and has been there for four seasons. During the offseason he will work weekends at Seacret's and comes back to Zig's for two or three nights a week. He has become a good friend to all of us at Zig's and is part of our family now. So if you get into Zig's during the week say Hello to Johnny and if you ever get to Ocean City we have a friend at Seacret's. Bettina is talking about going to work there this summer also. We will see about that. Seacret's has a bar staff of 100 of the best bartenders in the country and each year they hire less then 10 new people. Bettina is good enough for one of their positions and now has to decide what she wants to do. We are all for it, although we do not know what we would do without her for three months, Wanda and I would love to have Bettina serve us at Seacret's.
What an awesome concept.
If you do not about Seacret's you must check it out. Young and old alike hang out there. Bars and booths on the beach. Three stages of music going at once. Great food, and seriously great fun. During the day the servers will wade into the bay to serve those floating in the water on rafts. It is a place for everyone to relax and chill out. We love it there and when we are not at Zig's, that is the safest bet for our location.
We look forward to seeing you in the upcoming week and please say hello if you see me. Your ideas are where we get our future from. See you Soon.
