Skipping Stones

Read in your best Barney Stinson voice…

Haaaaave you met Skippy?

Skippy is skipping stones in Sun Valley (say that five times fast) through July 14th. And if I had to guess, I’d venture to say that it’s not a coincidence that this is running while attendees at the Allen and Company Conference in Sun Valley.

UPDATE: The Valley Sun posted a good recap of the Skippy project and some website traffic-related numbers and results here:
