Traveling for a week

[Fireworks display at Destination Imagination Global Finals 2005]


I won't be regularly updating the Blackfriars Marketing blog for the next week. I'm driving to Knoxville, Tennessee to see one of my sons compete in the Destination Imagination Global Finals held there. This is the culmination of a year of creative problem solving by his team of seven middle school kids. After winning first place in their regional and state competitions, they will now be performing and competing with nearly 800 teams from up to 40 countries. I think of this as the Olympics of Creative Kids. Opening ceremonies begin on Wednesday, May 24, and the event closes Saturday night, May 27.

I will try to provide updates and pictures from the event, as well as commentary on the marketing I see there, but I can't be assured of having Internet connectivity. So until Tuesday, May 30, wish us luck!
