this week at Plaid:

Here's what happened this week at the world's most plaidilicious design and branding firm:

Only about TWO WEEKS until the Plaid tour kicks off. We're getting more and more stoked by the day, as preparations are being made. You can follow it on the tour blog, and we expect to launch the tour dashboard on Monday. Rob designed tour t-shirts, and they're sweet.

We're beginning to schedule stops along the tour, too. If your state is on the route and you'd like us to stop by, let us know!

Brian got a call from the Mentos intern. We think they're plotting to take over the world.

Matt begin apartment shopping, so that he could stop commuting from New Jersey. Or wherever he's from.

We started the week with a really awesome new business pitch (fingers crossed), and finished a lot of great work this week. Uber productivity at Plaid to close out a fab June!

I'm in line right now at the Apple store. I'm guessing that I'm in the 50 - 75th person range. Feeling positive and daydreaming of multi-touch.
