Wow. I can't begin to express how much I suck.

I was trusted with transporting some neons from Malice95 to SilverUnicorn yesterday. Got them in the truck, got them back to PA, left them sit in the truck, moved them to the car today, literally BRUSHED the glass with my finger (accidentally), and KAPOW, neon tube shattered at the one curve.

St. Pauli Girl neon is no more. :(

I'm really sorry Chris.

Believe it or not, it's not that hard for a neon sign shop to replace one tube in a sign. Especially if it's a fairly simple shape. The tubes are all custom made to size and shape. A friend of mine apprenticed at a neon shop for a while, it's not that hard. The tubes all start as hollow glass, they're hand formed to shape, evacuated/filled with gas, etc.

No worries Bro. I plugged it in anyway, but only got a very minor glow from the red "germany" section.

Accidents happen, it's okay. The Molson sign is way cool :)

I think we'd need to jumper past the broken section to get the rest to light up. We'll have to look at the circuit.
