Plaid Summer Tour
Monday, July 21, 2008

2008 Plaid tour is underway.



We're here. In Vancouver!

It was a long night at the border, but we're finally here. Canadian border guards don't quite share the same sense of humor as Plaid employees...more on that on this morning's 11:40 show.

We settled in to the glorious Travel Lodge - which to our surprise was actually really nice. We're not accustomed to "nice" on the Plaid tour, when it comes to hotels motels. The view from my room is pictured above.

Today we're meeting with another sweet creative firm in Vancouver, and talking to Eric Karjaluoto, the awesomely intelligent blogger from Ideas on Ideas. There are some other fun meetings and activities planned, too. And we'll be eating the most delicious cupcakes in all of Canada. If you're in Vancouver, please join us.

Stay tuned for so much more!

I went back to my office, but didn’t have the current Flash plug-in to view the 11:40 show.

I’m trying to find an archive at Ustream, but maybe live shows are lost forever?

In any event, great to meet you guys - have a fun trip!

This is a little embarrassing...

We didn't save the program properly on Ustream. Our first 11:40 show is lost on the internet.

You'd think a bunch of internet and design geeks could get a simple thing like "save" down. But no.

Now that it's lost forever, we can safely tell the rest of the world that our first live 11:40 show was awesome. Probably the best live television to ever grace the internet.

There were live bears mauling people, girls gone wild, and Justin Timerlake stopped in to say hello. If you don't believe me, you can't prove me wrong.

Tomorrow - we'll "save" the show - so that people who miss 11:40 live, can at least watch the re-run. Sorry!

The pleasure was all mine. Wish I could have hung around to meet Justin.
