As a postscript, although I personally have never seen a chocolate-colored rabbit such as those sold at DCB, they apparenly do exist in nature (or Photoshop), particularly in the Havana breed. So it’s an unusual color for a rabbit, but not unheard-of.

Here’s what we’ve got so far:

The RoadTwip Set: All the pics fit to print. This is the monster set with pics from every city AND the in-the-car, on-the-road shots. Feel free to browse and tag.

RoadTwip: Blacskburg

Fish tacos and my sister, the environmentalist. Bonus: A video where KurtyD improvises a riff about hokies, the Virginia Tech mascot:

RoadTwip: Nashville

The land of amazing coffee shops, nice people, and spectacular barebecue.

And the infamous “We’re in Tennesseeeeeee now!” song:

RoadTwip: St. Louis

A flavorful visit – this city is where we met up with local food (STLBites.com) and beer (STLHops.com) bloggers at a farmer’s market that was an organic localvore’s heaven. Also, Reem Abeidoh took us out for Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, which completely ruined ice cream for us forever.

RoadTwip: Kansas City

This is where the Brightkite magic really made it all happen! A quick lunchtime stop for burnt ends at Arthur Bryant’s Barbecue turned into video interviews and an afternoon of coworking at Scooter’s downtown.

RoadTwip: BIGOmaha

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 ReadWriteWeb coverage of the show.

RoadTwip: Chicago

The photos are few, but the YouTube videos put the proof in the pudding.

RoadTwip: Toledo

This was the city that touched my heart the most, and I can’t wait to go back. We’ll never forget all the awesomesauce that the Toledo crew poured all over us. Many thanks to Damian, Mark, Josh, Gene, and the rest. We had an amazing meetup with a whole crew of local folks, and Dingman and I got to have lunch at Tony Packo’s the next day. Plus, this was the town where the RoadTwip gang made the news:

This is where we met up with @Sloane and @OzSultan. At this juncture, I was behind on ReadWriteWeb work and didn’t have much time to play/screw around, there are no photos from me for this part of the ‘Twip. All I have are a couple highly suspect videos that just scream “shenanigans!”

Threadless is the coolest.

The trip started in Washington, D.C., and looped through 10 Midwestern and East Coast cities. From Toledo to Nashville to New York and everywhere between, the gang met up with longtime Internet friends and local thought leaders. They’ve accumulated huge masses of information and multimedia content, some of which they’ve posted at http://roadtwip.us/blog.

A Twitter search for the term “RoadTwip” will also yield some interesting results from both the gang and their friends new and old from along the route.

Some of the topics the gang has covered have been big things happening in small towns, change and optimism, using social media to streamline offline and online activities, the use of mobile technology to permit constant connection and learning, the importance of meeting in real life to strengthen the social web, the emerging future of the new America, and inside jokes involving Cleveland and primates.

Tune into the chat at http://mogulous.com/roadtwip. To ask questions or give the gang feedback, send tweets @KurtyD, @JolieODell, or @Dingman, or email jolie.odell@gmail.com, jdingman@gmail.com, or kurtdaradics@gmail.com.

Another @KurtyD Production

A road trip gone Twitter. That is what this site is all about. Three online friends have embarked on an offline adventure, or if you want to use less poetic words, two guys and a gal have taken their van and started a journey to attend a conference in Omaha. This journey is covered the Twitter way, hence the name of the site.

Extra special props to @SaraCityLopez, @Kulpacabana, @BobBell, @GPowellDesign, and everyone else who came out to support us! We love you guys.

And a very special thank you to @7son75 for opening his home, his social circle, and his city to us.  =)
