The excitement was building around the office as the departure date for the NewCity SXSW Ride Along approached.

This is the marketing version of what our RV should look like.

You know that feeling you get the day before a big vacation when it just seems like there's way too much to get done? Yeah. That's kinda where we are today. Every time we start on something, we think of something else that needs to get done. I think we're all looking forward to the moment we sit down in the RV and know that we've done all the prep work we can do. From there, it'll just be driving, meeting people, learning great stuff and sharing it all.

Even with everything that's left to be done, we're getting excited and hope you are, too. This is definitely the biggest experiment we've attempted in regard to blurring the lines between real life and social media. Participation is growing on Twitter and it's getting comments on the Facebook page, as well.

So far, we've let our followers tell us where to stay on Thursday night, eat lunch in Chattanooga and find good coffee in Birmingham. We'll be getting feedback from everyone today and through the conference about which sessions they want us to attend, and then sharing the information.

We're just getting started, so make sure you follow along and spread the word. All relevant links below:

  • Ridealong is awesome! I feel like I’m part of your trip — does that make me a cyber-hitchhiker?
