Truckers, road kill, gallons of coffee and who knows what else will accompany a team of Lansingites during their race against eight pockets of the social media world to a media/techie/idea/networking conference in Austin.

Post No.1

Yesterday I embarked on a road trip from Lansing to Austin as part of Team Lansing for Chevy's SXSW road trip challenge.

Chevy has given eight teams from around the country, a car to drive to SXSW. And to make it fun, they've given us 50 challenges to complete on our drive that range from arm wrestling a cook at a diner to getting our picture in front of a stadium to picking up trash at a park.

Team Lansing has the honor of driving a Chevy Traverse that is made right here in Lansing! I'm so proud to drive a car made in right here in my hometown!

Along the way, I'll share with you stories from the road, pictures and interviews. What should I ask people that I meet along the way? What do they know about Michigan?

Want to know where we are or what shenanigans we're pulling? Follow us at http://teamlansingsxsw.tumblr.com (hashtag: #LanChevySXSW) Or, better yet, call Team Lansing in our car and help keep us awake! 313-498-3466.
