Description:
Being halfway through the 1872 aquatic sci-fi epic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, this Hello Sailor function looked to be right up my alley. I was hoping they'd supply all manner of futuristic naval paraphernalia, such as breathable fabrics made entirely from sea-going mammals, and seaweed cigars rivalling the finest Cubans. Upon closer inspection, one was surprised to discover this Hello Sailor function was in fact a top-shelf vintage market held over three levels of the old flocked Carlton Hotel, along with a raffle with a fair bounty to aid the noble island of Haiti, which seemed to be in distress last time the Nautilus silently navigated its crystal clear waters. - MO
