From there we head south, into the ‘Brick States’ and beyond!

The states we will be visiting, in order, are as follows:

• Maryland
• Delaware
• Virginia
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Georgia
• Florida

We will post more up-to-date information about the tour as it becomes available.

Over the weekend, Dale Dempsey, the inventor of the Dyebrick Brick Tinting Kit appeared on QVC’s “DIY Sunday” programme. The show featured the most popular colours from the Tinting Kit range and also our Brick-Age product.

You can view a few screenshots of the presentation below. Click the images to enlarge.

Open to all customers who submit or have submitted photographs to us for publication in our Customer Gallery between 1st January and 30th November 2008.

More details will be published in March.

This is an additional post to say thank you to our web hosts, Liquid Web for inviting us to a tour of their impressive Data Centre in Lansing, MI.

We also got to put faces to the names of some of their 24/7 support team.

It’s quite a strange feeling looking at a PC that you usually communicate with remotely from over 3,000 miles away!

Oh, and we also got to take home a Liquid Web heroic support man!

Thanks again Liquid Web!
James.

We would like to thank all the clients we visited on the tour for their kind hospitality. It was great to meet with all of you.

Considering the wintry conditions in the Mid-West we were fortunate enough to side-step the worst of the weather and stick to our schedule.

If you missed out on the tour and happen to live on the east coast, then you’re in luck as the next tour will be the East Coast Tour 2008. We will post an update on the planned route in mid-2008.

Best wishes from the Dyebrick team and a Happy New Year to all!

James.

Well, it’s turned midnight which means the countdown timers have finally stopped and all systems are go for the Dyebrick USA tour 2007.

Due to the volume of work to be done for the meetings in San Francisco and Los Angeles, there will not be many updates on the blog until the tour itself gets underway. We estimate this will be on the 11th December.

The tracking will also only be active during the tour itself, more instructions on how to follow us will be posted when we start moving!

I’m now going for some much needed sleep for the busy month ahead!

James Harland,
Dyebrick
