I'm Siiiiinging in the rain...


Last night was an intersting night at Star Clipper. It's not often it rains *inside* the shop - but rain it did. Turns out some tenant in one of the floors above managed to leave a faucet running full blast while she ran some errands. The drain couldn't keep up and by the time maintenence was able to get into the apartment, 2 inches of water covered the entire floor.

And of course, water + gravity = a big freakin' mess at Star Clipper.

By the time it was over, I'd have to say 50 gallons of water had made its way through our ceiling, and parts of the ceiling had collapsed onto the floor. Luckily Dan acted fast and only 3 copies of Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters had to make the 'ultimate sacrifice.'

Hopefully by the time you read this, all will have been cleaned up and moved back to its usual place. I'm sure it will be some time before the ceiling looks normal again. My favorite part of the whole night: watching water pour through one of the chandeliers. That was a blast. We should have water pour through those bad boys 24/7!

But not to worry intrepid shoppers! We will be open to satisfy all your buying needs!
