A Perfect Dallas night! Play, Sushi, Martini's

It was a spur of the moment thing. One bud calls up another bud, who calls up another and the conversation went something like this:

Caller One: "Sushi?"

Caller 2:"Uh, yes, but did you know Gary Floyd is in a 2 man play at Theatre Three?"

"No, who's Gary Floyd?"

"Singer who used to play at the Library at the Melrose"

"Ok, let's go, then Sushi?"

"Yes, been to Gui?"

"Isn't that Korean?"

"Yes, but they have the single greatest Sushi chef that no one knows about in Dallas?"

"Really?

"You don't order off the menu, his name is Eddie, you simply say "I have this much to spend, amazing things happen behind that bar"

"Martinis at Gui?"

"One of Zodiac's better accounts, giant Martinis!"

"You're driving then!

So that's how one of the better nights in Dallas came down. The play, called the Big Bang, is hysterical. Located in Theatre Three in Dallas, Gary Floyd and one other guy (Help!) play the every role in a muscial version of everything from The Big Bang to Modern Day USA. It was incredible. Then literally within walking distance of theatre three is Gui. I've talked about this before because of my love for Korean food, but I've discovered "Eddie" and his imagination behind the sushi bar. He's gifted. Place was packed, which is good to see. then those Zodiac Martini's, they boys bought new glassware there, suddenly you have an small fishbowl full of the my favorite potato vodka! Decided to leave the car there and walk the 6 blocks home! Good move! GREAT night!!

Independent Film Festivals Rock with Zodiac

you have to love those edgy folk who attend the growing Independent Film Festivals. Sure, they saw Dark Knight, but they also ensure that movies like: Juno and Little Miss Sunshine make it to our world. On September 16th, in NYC, Zodiac along with Slamdance Film Festival (www.slamdance.com) will honor Steven Soderbergh who, in between his Ocean's films, has a tendency to create some of the most edgy, "out there" movies created in the USA. Zodiac, which also has a fan base, very similar to that, is a proud exclusive sponsor. Stay tuned for pics from this event after it happens!

Kids, it's been a while, we've been swamped. Very excited to say that Zodiac Vodka is now in over 40 states across the USA. In just 8 months, we've managed to get our vodka all over the country. Now we just need those Western States to wise up. Good news from Dallas too: TGIFridays will begin selling Zodiac in all locations in the Dallas Fort Worth area in September. Using the King Tut exhibit, they are building at "Tut-Tini" in honor of our fallen Pharoah. Cool River Cafes in Addison is going an incredible martini featuring Zodiac in honor of of the birthstone for the month. YOu have to go in and try one of these buggers. this is just two of the many fun things going on with this hot brand. Stay tuned for more!
