Very cool to hear @lisagilpin discuss the updates to the Chevy SXSW road trip at Social Fresh. I was a 2010 road tripper for Team NC and 2011 challenge judge. Great stuff!

Here is my one-stop shop to track the 10 twenty eleven road trip teams as they drive from their respective home towns to Austin for SXSW this week.
What follows are links to the teams and their profiles, blogs, etc. The challenges and locations are secret this year, so the teams and the world will find out about them in real-time. Remember each Chevy is rigged with mobile wi-fi internet access to help them publish content and communicate from the road plus OnStar is on the ready to assist along the way. Good luck #ChevySXSW drivers!
Updated: March 9 to include tumblr sites for Chevy’s Angels, Autofollow, @chevyyyz and all vehicle twitter accounts.
Follow all of the team members via my Twitter List @therab/chevysxsw2011/ as they see the USA in a Chevrolet! Here are the list members, pls offer corrections / updates. Leave comments, send well-wishes, let the smack talk fly. Follow hashtag #ChevySXSW via twazzup or twitter search. Also follow the challenge judges with @sxswangels/judges/members.

Each Chevy vehicle is also tweeting out messages via GPS triggered events with OnStar.
You can support the teams through an education charity this year via Adopt-a-classroom. The team’s have more info on their blogs.

Disclaimer: I am a #ChevySXSW 2011 road trip challenge judge. I drove for Team NC with Jason Keath, Nicole D’Alonzo and Wayne Sutton in the first road trip last year. See all my SXSW exploits from last year. The photo above was somewhere along our trip through Louisiana where we found a really custom Chevy truck on the roadside. Pictured left to right are me, Niki and Jason.

Glad to be a judge this year! (I was part of Team NC for the 2010 #ChevySXSW road trip)
We’re having a Chevy Social in Raleigh on Nov. 1. Do join us.
Since we had technical difficulty setting up the TVs to display videos for this at Triangle Tweetup last night, here is a look at what you missed. Hit me up for more background. Ask questions here, okay?
Nicole D’Alonzo interviews Scot Safon, CMO of CNN.com (and more) at the Atlanta headquarters of the media giant. Jason Keath, Wayne Sutton and Ryan Boyles(me) filmed and snapped photos. Jason and Nicole set up this as an extra activity on day 1 of the Chevy SXSW road trip. Very cool.
Funny side story: As we were walking by their “social media” war room, we saw our avatars projected on a big screen as they were monitoring our tweets from our check-ins in moments earlier in the CNN lobby on foursquare and triout. Later, we all got together for a quick meet and greet and took some group photos. We enjoyed meeting all the nice folks at CNN. Thanks Scot for the interview!
