Here's our first of a few posts profiling the crew on this year's PlaidNation tour.

Sara will be part of the PlaidNation crew for the duration of the tour. While at headquarters, Sara is the Dutchess of Awesome - which means that she's the person that makes sure everyone is having an awesome time. Clients, coworkers and partners. Awesomeness is her middle name.

The fact that Sara is joining the tour is itself kind of a minor miracle. She just kicked Lyme Disease's ass - after it gave her a good smackdown during the latter part of 2008 and early this year.

Sara's also the person who has led the team responsible for PlaidNation's logistics. How do you get a FordFlex wrapped, wired, filled with crew who are fed, have a place to sleep and somewhere to go each day? And how do you keep it on budget? That's pretty much under the domain of the Dutchess of Awesome.

Birthdays are pretty special at Plaid, because we usually celebrate with cake. And everyone that works at Plaid loves cake. Tomorrow is coworker's Sara's birthday - which means that back at the home office, Plaid employees were sinking their teeth into some sweetalicious cupcakes. (Sara is known across the globe for her love of cupcakes.)

Not to be left out, we had our own little Sara celebration. With cupcakes and all. You'll see the whole party (a must see) in today's wrap up video - which should go live over the weekend.

Happy Birthday Sara, from Matt, Renato, Ryan, Bill, myself and the Plaid van!
