SH apartment fire...live

monday afternoon, suddenly saw the entire planning team on the other side of the office rushing to the windows to look outside...just a few blocks away, an entire building up in flames. totally scary and sad to see happen live. was too stunned to take my own pictures, but this is pretty much the exact view from the street outside the office.

thanks for those who called or emailed to check in, we're physically fine, just sobered. death toll now at 58. one of those perspective-giving days.

...and we're live

we "soft launched" yesterday in the middle of the nite...feels like giving birth

on your mark, get set...

GO! actually it's been kind of hard to stop lately, with the official site launch (and first store openings) in just a few days now (eeee!). but there's a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel...and it's growing SHINIER. more very soon...especially with special visitors on their way.

oh, and in case you ever need to get yourself from japan to china.
