			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As @Dingman<a href="http://twitter.com/dingman">#mce_temp_url#</a> wanders through the scenic parks of Brooklyn all by his lonesome, @<a href="http://twitter.com/jolieodell">JolieODell</a> and @<a href="http://twitter.com/kurtyd">KurtyD</a> join up with @<a href="http://twitter.com/baratunde">Baratunde</a> and @<a href="http://twitter.com/ozsultan">OzSultan</a> for a tour of the world-famous <a href="http://www.dylanscandybar.com/">Dylan&#8217;s Candy Bar</a> in New York City. Once inside, the air was perfumed with the fragrance of cotton candy. Brightly colored sugary sweets sprung from every wall and light fixture. The snozberries tasted like snozberries! It was a magical RoadTwip adventure.</p>
<p>As a postscript, although I personally have never seen a chocolate-colored rabbit such as those <a href="http://www.dylanscandybar.com/fashion_pillows-stuffed-animals/chocolate-the-bunny/">sold at DCB</a>, they apparenly do <a href="http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/860/45044885.JPG">exist in nature</a> (or Photoshop), particularly in the <a href="http://www.helium.com/items/1285897-rabbit-breed-profile-havana">Havana breed</a>. So it&#8217;s an unusual color for a rabbit, but not unheard-of.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Granted, I&#8217;m not the official photog of our little nomadic tribe, but I did snap a few pics along the way. And now that I&#8217;m home and well-rested for the first time in two weeks, I&#8217;ve uploaded a whole bunch of stills to Flickr &#8211; still working on getting all the videos up!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got so far:</p>

<p>A flavorful visit &#8211; this city is where we met up with local food (<a href="http://stlbites.com">STLBites.com</a>) and beer (<a href="http://stlhops.com">STLHops.com</a>) bloggers at a farmer&#8217;s market that was an organic localvore&#8217;s heaven. Also, <a href="http://twitter.com/rabeidoh">Reem Abeidoh</a> took us out for <a href="http://www.teddrewes.com/Drewes.asp">Ted Drewes Frozen Custard</a>, which completely ruined ice cream for us forever.</p>

<p>This is where the <a href="http://brightkite.com">Brightkite</a> magic really made it all happen! A quick lunchtime stop for burnt ends at <a href="http://www.arthurbryantsbbq.com/">Arthur Bryant&#8217;s Barbecue</a> turned into video interviews and an afternoon of coworking at <a href="http://www.scooterscoffeehouse.com/">Scooter&#8217;s</a> downtown.</p>

<p>This was a predetermined high point of the trip, which meant lots of work and not too many photos. The music just keeps playing on, however, in the <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/fastsearch?search=BIGOMaha&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">ReadWriteWeb coverage</a> of the show.</p>

<p>This was the city that touched my heart the most, and I can&#8217;t wait to go back. We&#8217;ll never forget all the awesomesauce that the Toledo crew poured all over us. Many thanks to <a href="http://twitter.com/drintelmann">Damian</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/7son75">Mark</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/kulpacabana">Josh</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/spokehq">Gene</a>, and the rest. We had an amazing meetup with a whole crew of local folks, and Dingman and I got to have lunch at <a href="http://www.tonypackos.com/index.php">Tony Packo&#8217;s</a> the next day. Plus, this was the town where the RoadTwip gang made the news:</p>

<div>RoadTwip: Pittsburgh</div>
<p>This is where we met up with @Sloane and @OzSultan. At this juncture, I was behind on ReadWriteWeb work and didn&#8217;t have much time to play/screw around, there are no photos from me for this part of the &#8216;Twip. All I have are a couple highly suspect videos that just scream &#8220;shenanigans!&#8221;</p>

<p>The final stop on our long journey was a busy, sad, emotionally rollercoasterish time. It was my first time in NYC; believe it or not, I&#8217;m usually rather anxious about new people and places, and this visit was no exception. I spent a lot of time working from <a href="http://twitter.com/ozsultan">Oz Sultan</a>&#8217;s apartment on the upper east side, but we all did venture out on the last day for a meetup with <a href="http://baratunde.com">Baratunde Thurston</a>. And the tour of <a href="http://www.dylanscandybar.com/">Dylan&#8217;s Candy Bar</a> was nothing short of magical.</p>
<p>____________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>And that be the end of my tale. Stay tuned for more photojournalistic awesomesauce from everybody&#8217;s favorite @Dingman!</p></div>
