this week at Plaid



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

A new intern! Parker started her internship at Plaid. We'll get you formally introduced on Monday. Currently, she's working on some of the final items on the PlaidNation tour dashboard.

The new Plaid tour shirts arrived, and they're hot. People on the west coast will be freaking out to get one of these. If they're not too busy hosing down their houses.

We're weeding our way through mega piles of resumes in an attempt to fill a design position. Will be interviewing soon, and hopefully fill the position after the Plaid tour. Lots of great talent out there, and it's going to be tough to narrow it down to the perfect Plaid fit.

Oh yeah - we managed to cram five days of work into a three and a half day work week.

Today, Justus Rob and I formed the Plaid Running Team, and took over a local "Firecracker 8K" race. We kicked ass. We decided to apply new race rules, where you can knock down little kids and seniors if they try and pass you. Little kids usually drop out after a skinned knee - but seniors you typically have to knock down two or three times, to take them out.

Actually - this was an awesome race - first race ever for Justus and Rob, and Plaid indeed kicked ass. The universally known Plaid gang sign is demonstrated above.

Plaidsters are off for a long weekend of barbecuing hot dogs, hamburgers and blowing things up. Cuz that's how we roll.
