Plaid Summer Tour
Monday, July 21, 2008

small agencies rock



Today we met the crew at SmashLAB, and genius blogger Eric Karjaluoto of Ideas on Ideas.

They have some beautious office space in one of the cool neighborhoods in Vancouver. They immediately friended us, with shout outs from their 4th floor digs, to our van, as we were attempting to parallel park the Plaid beast.

And then they bought us donuts. Yep. The one thing Plaid likes more than big projects with big budgets. Donuts.

It's always cool to hang with other creative people, and especially another independent shop. SmashLab does some fantastic work - and they even have a pretty sweet side project, called MakeFive. You have to check this out, if you haven't already heard about it. You can make your own top five list. On anything. Or read others. And become a part of interesting conversation. These guys not only GET social media - they're producing new tools for all of the internet.

We met the entire SmashLAB crew and fell in love with their ULTRA NEAT offices. We're still convinced there's a big closet somewhere, filled with all of the junk that normally sits on desks in messier offices (like ours.) You'll see Eric, Eric and the rest of the SmashLAB crew on the wrapup video later tomorrow.

Right around the corner from SmashLAB was none other than Andy from A Million Monkeys Typing. Andy was watching the tour from the dashboard, and saw on the webcams that we were around the corner, getting ready to broadcast the 11:40 show. He popped down to say howdy to the Plaid crew. Totally awesome.
