Rosie and I were honored to be in the audience at a Cody Simpson mini-concert yesterday.  Hallmark sponsored the event as part of the promotion for their new Text Bands — a cool, brand-new way to let friends know what’s on your mind by sending messages wristband to wristband.  It was fun to watch the kids giving each other high fives and exchanging messages!  Rosie got an “OMG!” from someone that was flashing on her wrist during Cody’s last song – it was so cute!
These fans came all the way from Wisconsin to Wheaton, Ill and let everyone on the way share their excitement!
Have you seen Text Bands yet? Â The starter kits (include the Text Band module) come in Purple and Black. Â Then you can go crazy with all kinds of color bands. Â There are bands featuring Minnie Mouse, Darth Vadar Star Wars, Peace Signs, Pink Glitter, Limeade and more!
As a parent, I like that Hallmark is asking all Text Band wearers to take the Text Band Pledge: Â “I promise to rock my Text Band with pride and express myself with the power of the positive!”
Here is a video I took of Cody leading the audience in the pledge:
