Plaid Nation 09 begins in 3...2...1

I stumbled across this local, lovable Danbury, CT agency just as they embarked on their West Coast tour last summer. This year Darryl & crew are back and touring the Heartland, in a Ford Flex that is momentarily being wrapped in nothing other than... plaid!

In the past year I was luckily enough to visit Plaid's sweet pad in the former Empress movie theater and snag a little tour swag (just check my rear view mirror above) while sitting in on a client meeting. I'd hardly call a car air freshener much of a bribe... but, I'll still endorse this road trip as a prime "time-kill central" material. I would even venture to say it has a similar useful/useless ratio as the output from Car Talk Plaza. I can't wait to see more of the Boring Store in Chicago, but they've got something for everyone with all manner of tour stops ranging from FedEx to the Indy Speedway.

While Plaid gets set up in the Motor City, check out http://www.plaidnation.com/ and prepare yourself for some serious innovation and creative inspiration on wheels.
