Brand Flakes for Breakfast
Friday, February 01, 2008

this week at Plaid:



Here's what happened this week at the world's most superbowl-ready creative agency:

They nearly finished our addition. It's pictured above. The custom wainscoting and lights were installed. All that's left is some staining, and carpet. All due for installation next week, if we're lucky. It's looking AWESOME.

Big news: We've decided to embark on another Plaid road tour, this summer! It's looking like we're coming to the west coast, for a couple of weeks in July. Brian's already mapping out potential routes. We'll begin sharing details real soon.

We were featured in Inc Magazine! Well, if you can call a paragraph in an article on blogging a feature, I guess. Maybe that's a stretch of the word - but we're proud anyway.

A few of us are going to SXSW!! We're totally stoked, as none of us have ever gone before. And we've never been to Austin, Texas, either. Should be a Texas size load of fun. We're planning on sharing the entire experience with you. We're setting up a special edition of Brandflakes, and will be blogging, Twittering, and more live from the show. If you're going, please let us know - we want to buy you a drink!

We're off for a weekend of beer guzzling, SuperBowl watching, and ad criticizing. Happy SuperBowl, everyone.

While you're in Austin, I recommend you hit up Matt's El Rancho at 2613 South Lamar. Muy sabroso Mexican food and margaritas. The Bob Armstrong dip will make you giddy. Kinky Friedman and Spoon recommend it, too.

Hey Darryl - congrats on the Inc. appearance. That's a really great piece.

I'll be heading to SXSW too. Let's be sure to connect while we're out there (because with both of us being on the East coast, it's too difficult to connect here). ;-)

Amy: Mexican is our agency's official favorite food. Mmmmm. Will definitely try that out.

Scott: Totally. Beer on us.
