SNOW POLICY
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE SNOW POLICY
Well, it looks like we might get some snow this weekend. Big Deal. The weathermen of course will make this out to be the storm of the century. They'll be stories about stranded motorists in Nebraska and invariably pictures of cars in Atlanta involved in a 7,000 car pileup. They'll warn you to get bread, "DON'T GO OUT UNLESS YOU HAVE TO! GET YOUR WILL IN ORDER, IT'S SNOWING!"
Remember when snow was something to celebrate? Made things look pretty and white and man it was great. But you can't sell advertising with this comment from the weathermen "Hey, it's snowing, isn't that nice, it's winter, it's supposed to snow, enjoy it". And selling advertising is what it's all about. That's why no matter what the weather is, the weathermen always make it something to fret about. "Hey it's beautiful out there today, perfect day for a bird to shit on your windshield, don't go out, stay right in front of the tube and we'll tell you all about the birds that are shitting on windshields at 11".
Well, this isn't Atlanta and it isn't Nebraska. This is the Northeast, birthplace of the American Revolution, battleground of the Civil War and of course, home to the "Jersey Shore". We can drive in the snow, we know how to plow, and we don't hide from a little snow! THAT'S why we have the greatest snow policy in the world here at the Stress Factory Comedy Club.
If it snows out on the day of a show, and you come in for the show, we will reward your heartiness with a free ticket for another show in the future! You read that right. Just come in on a snow day and we'll treat you to another show in the future! It's our way of saying thank you. Thank you for not believing the weathermen and living in fear! Thank you for not hiding from a little snow and thank you for making THE STRESS FACTORY the greatest stand up comedy venue in the World.
LAST NOTE ON THIS:
We don't cancel shows. We've had this policy for years and a few things stick out in my mind. There are some people who don't drive in the snow at all. Even though the roads are plowed, salted and clear. These people, the wimps if you will, are the same people who drive 5 mph through EZPASS, when clearly, you can do 40 mph without a problem. These are the same people who sit in their cars at the mall, knowing your waiting to park in the spot they're about to vacate, adjusting their seatbelts, positioning their mirrors and generally annoying the shit out of you while you wait. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE HOME WHEN IT SNOWS, RATIONING THEIR BREAD AND TELLING THEIR LOVED ONES TO "Remember me, in case I don't make it out of the snowstorm!"
SO, since they're all home, getting here, parking and enjoying the show is EASIER THAN EVER!!! No whiners!! Not on the road, not in the parking garage and not sitting next to you during the show. We've had some of the greatest shows EVER on snow days. JOIN US THIS WEEKEND NO MATTER WHAT. You'll be in GREAT company, and in some small way, you'll be honoring the heros of the American Revolution and the Civil War. And who doesn't want to do that!
