The Great '09 Road Trip

Started making plans to drive to Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Denver.
Trying to meet as many people at agencies as I can.
It's going to be interesting to see if I can schedule all these visits with the people I want to meet.
Some of the agencies I want to talk with include:
Chicago: Energy BBDO (and Proximity), DDB, Zig, and Leo Burnett
Milwaukee: Just seeing a friend from Atlanta at his agency. Don't know too many up there
Minneapolis: Periscope, Colle + McVoy, Carmichael Lynch, Fallon, and Mono
Denver: TDA (they're actually in Boulder) and Factory Design Labs. Unlike 98% of the clingers out there, I'm not going to do the Crispin thing. We just don't fit stylistically.
Got to remember to bring the camera and video camera. Want to document this trip for this blog.
Hopefully leaving for this great Journey on Sunday, October 4. Should take close to two weeks to accomplish. right now the itinerary looks like this:
Sunday the 4th: Arrive Chicago.
Monday the 5th: Meet peeps
Tuesday the 6th: Meet peeps, drive to Milwaukee
Wednesday the 7th: Meet peeps, drive to Minneapolis
Thursday the 8th: Meet with peeps
Friday the 9th: Meet with peeps
Saturday 10th: Drive to Omaha, spend night.
Sunday 11th: Drive to Denver
Monday 12th: Meet peeps
Tuesday 13th: Meet peeps
Wednesday 14th: Drive to KC, spend night
Thursday 15th: Back to Memphis
This might change a bit, a day here or there.
But this is the general time frame.
I'm getting excited about this.
Driving in parts of the country I've yet to drive.
Should be fun. Hopefully there's a job for me out there.
