That’s right, sometime this morning (Tues, July 21) the Plaid crew will float across Lake Michigan and land on the Milwaukee shoreline. I believe this is a direct attempt to not only insult me, but also the lovely city of Green Bay. Really, what’s wrong with the Mackinac Bridge and a GB tour stop? There better be some serious deck side twitpics of nautical themed pashmina afghans, or it’s an extra tablespoon of salt in the wound.
To counter this punch to the gut, I will be traveling to Chicago to cut them off, hopefully for a Tuesday night beer chug, or perhaps a Wednesday lunch date (fingers crossed for Chicagoland SUBWAY restaurants having Chicago dogs and Italian beefs). Shortly after I win them over with my charm, I’ll slash the tires of their Ford Flex or slap a sticker on its bumper, haven’t decided which pill to slip them yet.
I mean, I thought I knew @darrylohrt and @davidplain, hell we had lunch together at SXSW in the spring, even placed my foot in darryl’s basket while @benkunz (currently guest blogging at brandflakesforbreakfast.com, another Plaid success story) gazed at my ass. Guess people change, sure hope Ben has changed…
Blossoming vendetta aside… Plaid is awesome. So stick up your virtual thumb, and go for a ride:
PlaidNation is a rolling celebration of creativity and a demonstration of social media in action. It’s a Plaid Ford Flex driving through the country meeting creative, marketing, brand and internet workers, and celebrating their innovations. Every aspect of the tour is broadcast on www.plaidnation.com. Like the best reality show, but better.
