All of us here at The Retrospective are big fans of The Brooklyn Circus and we couldn’t be more excited that lately they’ve been getting more press than Christina Hendricks of Mad Men. From a profile on Justin Timberlake’s blog to a speaking gig at one of our favorite conferences held by PSFK, people have been scoping Brooklyn Circus in a big way, and so it was a shock to learn that the Brooklyn Circus SF shop has been closed due to flooding for nearly two weeks.

Instead of dwelling on the negative impact of these unfortunate circumstances, The Brooklyn Circus SF saw the downtime as an opportunity to strengthen their business. Not only have they made some exciting changes to the store, they’ve also come up with some new ways to increase their presence in the cultural landscape of San Francisco. They recently celebrated their grand re-opening with a raucous in-store party and we were there to socialize with and support our friends, as well document the event. The full video will be live on Thursday, April 29th but in case you can’t wait here’s a sneak peek at what went down.
