Birth Of The Frameless Shower?
Monday, October 17th, 2011
It was no simple bathroom. The Duchess of Latveria spent years picking out every detail. The last thing she would focus her intricate attention on, was the shower. Her vision was as clear as a summer sky, reality was not. Glass had never been cut, formed, molded or even thought of , in the ways her mind did. It would be a daunting task. After the failures of some of the most sought after craftsmen, hope seemed to fade. Until he showed up. His name: Norrin Radd. Over the next few months he would hand craft the Duchess vision and create the gateway to the modern frameless shower…
Not even close! In fact about 75% of that story is lies and by 75% I mean 100% of that story is lies.
So I don’t know who invented the Frameless Shower, so what!
Am I suppose to know that since I’m in the Frameless Shower business.
Your Company is named River Glass Designs…Glass is right there in the name, you should know these things.
Well for your information I did a ton of research to try and find out who invented the Frameless Shower and I couldn’t find diddly squat on Wikipedia.
Besides do all of you computer people know who invented the computer…
…well that was an easy one, everyone knows it was Best Buy.
Pizza people?
Oh yeah…I forgot,
… Sbarro.
Well I bet none of you know who invented …uh…uh…Karate!
Um, One Mister Steven Seagal! BAM!
Seacrest Out!

Did You Feel That?!
Wednesday, August 24th, 2011
Yesterday, August 23, 2011, the earth shook beneath the feet of all of us here in the DC Metro Area. I’m sure, like me, most of you immediately thought that the Hulk had finally lost it and decided it was time to smash stuff. How wrong we were. Turns out it was an earthquake. We hope everyone is alright.
We would also like to point out that we have all moved up in the story telling food chain. Yeah that’s right, just think about how this benefits us. Think about all those times one of your relatives or annoying friends tried to one up you in a conversation or make their life seem harder or more exciting than yours.
Let’s see them try it now!
“Oh, you won’t believe the day I had, my boss was being such a jerk!”
Oh really, that’s too bad of course it’s not nearly as bad as being in an EARTHQUAKE!
“Guess what? The family and I are headed to the beach this weekend.”
Oh really, well guess what I did yesterday…EARTHQUAKE!
“Just got a raise!”
Just had an EARTHQUAKE!
“I think I have pink eye.”
EARTHQUAKE! And you might want to try washing your hands once in a while…cuz that’s how you get pink eye…poo poo fingers.
“Hey I was just in a Volcanic eruption!”
Hey I was just in an earth…quake…
I think volcano might take that one.
Well in all seriousness all of us who make up the River Glass Designs family hope you and your families are okay.
…now how can I use this to sell Frameless Showers…

A World Without Borders
Monday, August 22nd, 2011
Borders is going out of business. Not those invisible little lines that divide land and create social disorder, no I’m referring to the book stores. In fact if you head over to a Borders store you’re likely to see giant signs advertising that “Everything’s on sale 40 to 60 percent off.”
Sounds great right?! Well not for Borders, but for us…Yahtzee! So off I went, and as I began browsing I realized something sinister was afoot. Borders didn’t actually want to sell me their merchandise. And not just me, they didn’t want to sell it to anyone! They wanted to keep it for themselves. Now no one came out and said it, but I could tell.
How? Well items that would normally cost you$ 10, $15 or even $20 at any other store were $40 to $50 dollars at Borders. In fact I left there and went to Target and found a DVD for $9.99, the exact and I mean exact same DVD was at Borders for $39.99! Now according to my math department, even with a 40% discount that’s still way more than I should be spending.
Gee, I wonder why they’re going out of business. I’m so shocked!
Selling the exact same merchandise at insanely higher prices than other stores, RIDICULOUS! They should be ashamed of themselves, I mean is that stuff better just because it came from Borders?!
Doesn’t River Glass Designs sell the same Frameless Showers at higher prices than other places?
WHAT?!?!!!
WHO SAID THAT?!?!!!!
Well, let me help you understand something, yes, we’re not the cheapest when it comes to Frameless Showers…and that’s a good thing.
We use only the highest quality products; in fact we are so confident in the way our hinges are manufactured that they come with a lifetime warranty. Not from the manufacturer, the warranty comes directly from us.
We offer six different standard pulls and 5 standard finishes so that each customer can find one that fits their taste without having to pay more.
We have the world’s most meticulous and detail oriented estimators and installers, because you don’t just want a Frameless Shower, you want handcrafted slice of luxury.
So we do have one thing in common with Borders, we are great at what we specialize in. For Borders its books, not DVD’s or games or music or toys, simply books. And for us it’s glass, glass showers, mirrors, shelves, and more.
So in conclusion…River Glass Designs, we’re more than great coats….Wait I think that’s….another….
What I meant to say was River Glass Designs, We’re everywhere you want to be…
….River Glass Designs…Where’s the beef????
I’m confused now….

Don’t Go In The Water….Again!
Monday, August 1st, 2011
Yesterday marked the end of July, the end of the hottest month ever for those reading this. But yesterday wasn’t about endings, no, it was about beginnings. Yes my good friends, last night at 9:00pm eastern time we began one of the greatest weeks known to modern man. Shark Week! Hopefully you didn’t miss out. Now we mentioned this last year, and there was some confusion as to how this relates to River Glass Designs or frameless showers or mirrors or to glass in general. This year I came prepared for your cynicism.
Ahem, well as you all know there are many species of sharks. There are mako sharks, nurse sharks, whale sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, blue sharks and the list goes on and on and on…that might be one too many on’s…
But despite the large variety in sharks, only one continues to capture our imaginations and successfully captivates us time after time…The Great White! It is without a doubt the definitive representation of what a shark should be.
Now there are all types of glass companies, but only one can be the Great White! You know what I’m sayin? You know what I’m sayin…
…I was uh…I was uh, implying it was um…us…that River Glass Designs was the uh…the Great… Whi..t…e.
Moving along…another thing you may find interesting is that Great Whites eat seals and here at River Glass Designs, we put seals on our frameless showers…oh yeah! Do I really need to continue? Ok fine I will.
Umm…Umm…Ok, Ok, I got it! Great white sharks are commonly found of the coasts of South Africa, California, Australia and the Eastern coast of the United States…
…My grandfather was born IN South Africa, Gary’s family lives IN California, I’ve seen Crocodile Dundee about a thousand times and the real kicker, River Glass Designs is found on the Eastern Coastish Area…sort of…
Still not convinced?!
Alright I see how it is, I didn’t want to have to do this but, now I’ve gotta pull out the big guns…
A Great White Shark is gray, and white and swims in the blue ocean…take a look at our logo and color scheme…gray and white and, come on say it with me….blue. BAM! Take THAT haters! I thought I told you that we won’t stop; I thought I told you that we won’t stop!
Happy Shark Week Everyone! SHARK WEEK!

Superb!
Monday, July 11th, 2011
Superb.
It is defined as being marked with grandeur, excellence, brilliance or competence. Now I would love to strut around town telling everyone River Glass Designs does superb work. However it seems that people find it rude when you “toot your own horn” so to speak. And don’t even get me started on the reaction I get when I strut around. The negative stuff I don’t mind, but all the whistling and cat calls, it gets embarrassing. So I’m left with a bit of a dilemma, how do I get the word out to everyone that River Glass Designs is indeed superb.
Hmmm…
I could make a video with a cute kitten playing in a tree, and then it falls out of the tree but instead of hitting the ground… it flies away… into space…because it’s a super space cat… and when he gets to space he meets up with his best friend a super space dog named Barks McGee and together they protect the universe from the evil teddy bears of planet Nebulon, whose only desire is to turn our planet into a giant marshmallow, but that’s not gonna happen! No it’s not! Not with Whiskers Tabington and Barks McGee on our side!
Or I could get a football player to endorse us…
Yeah, someone with a Super Bowl ring or even better a Super Bowl MVP, yeah a Super Bowl MVP, Hall of Fame Running Back, instantly recognized by football fans the world over… Now who could we get…
Uh…How ‘Bout the one, the only, Mr. John Riggins – yeah that’s right The Diesel:
