Hey all you loyal blog readers. We just wanted to remind you about the first annual Star Clipper Day. This Saturday, September 25 Star Clipper is celebrating our sixth anniversary on the Delmar Loop with a day jam-packed with awesome comic events. The staff got together and came up with all kinds of craziness to help you celebrate our Birthday so save the date.

First, Star Clipper associate and Knuckle Buster creator Mike Harvey will be hosting Caricature drawings in front of the store from 11 AM until 1 PM. Come get a drawing in Mike’s signature Knuckle Buster style!

Then get ready for the Return of the Revenge of the Trivia with Jim and Jon from 3 PM until 5 PM. You might remember when Jon and ex-Star Clipper assistant manager Nick Kuntz hosted the original Revenge of the Trivia and the grand prize was an autographed photo of Nick and Jon with Chase Masterson from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Well, that was at least the joke grand prize. This year we will have some much more exciting prizes to give away donated from our sponsor Dark Horse Comics. Thanks Dark Horse! Oh, we also promise there won’t be any Pokemon questions this time.

Here’s how it breaks down:
Teams up to two players
Four rounds
Topics will include Marvel, DC, Scott Pilgrim and comic-themed movies
Prizes provided by Dark Horse Comics
Snacks on the house
NO cell phones or electronic aids
Limited seating available so get there early

Next up from 6 PM to 7 PM is the Star Clipper Day Kid Robot Costume contest hosted by Fleet.

If you’ve been wanting to walk around the Loop in a costume now is your chance. All you have to do is come to Star Clipper in costume (No limits so just use your imagination) and you could when an awesome Kidrobot prize.

Prizes from our sponsor Kidrobot (Thanks!) will be given out for the following categories:

1. Best Overall Costume
2. Scariest Costume
3. Funniest Costume
4. Most-Like-A-Kidrobot Designed Costume

Or, make sure to stick around after Jim and Jon’s Trivia to help Star Clipper Manager Fleet judge the costumes.

I might even bust out my Super Mario Bros. 3 Tanooki Suit to get the party started. Don’t worry though I’m not eligible for a prize.

Finally, the day will end with a DJ spin from our friends DJ Crucial and DJ Agile One from 8 PM until 10 PM. I talked to them ahead of time and they’re going to do there best to slip in a few songs related to comics. I’m hoping for “Transformer” by Gnarlys Barkley.

We’re so happy we’ve become a Loop institution and can’t wait to celebrate with you this Saturday.

See ya there!

-Jon
