RoadTwip Big Omaha Movie

Imagine the the best road trip you ever went on, multiplied by apps like Twitter & Brightkite.

This is a story of three young catalysts stoking a bonfire of creativity and action across America.

Kurt Daradics (@KurtyD), Jolie O'Dell (@JolieODell), and Jonathan Dingman (@Dingman) are channeling the adventures of luminaries such as Jack Kerouac, Robert Frank, and Alexis de Tocqueville, and they're calling it #RoadTwip.

They are seeking the emerging future for a new America, and hoping to translate and transmit this energy through Twitter and other social sites, including Brightkite, Flickr photos, YouTube clips, and Qik live streaming video--all broadcast minute-by-minute from the road.

KurtyD, Jolie, and Dingman will be visiting ten cities for ten tweet ups. They will also meet with and interview thought leaders along the way, from web celebrities such as Gary Vaynerchuck and Matt Mullenweg to hardworking social media 'tweeps' who are growing their own scenes in smaller towns around the Midwest.
Starting Thursday, April 30, KurtyD and Dingman will fly from L.A. to meet up with Jolie and get the #RoadTwip into gear. Literally. They're rolling in a stick shift.

Next, theyll be tweeting through D.C., Philadelphia, Nashville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha (where they'll all be attending and covering the BIGOmaha conference), Chicago, Toledo/Cleveland, New York, then back to D.C.

Some of the tangibles they are collectively looking to accomplish include: * Affirming that a movement of Millenials (90M+ strong) is happening (new energy) * Sharing stories (new information) * Finding partners to support their respective endeavors (new community partners) * Finding folks to challenge their thinking sand force a few ideology upgrades (new ideas)

For more of whats next tune into www.roadtwip.us the site will aggregate all blog posts, tweets, photos, and videos. And these kids will doing a LOT of video. Ideally, folks at home will feel like they're living the dream vicariously through the #RoadTwip streams and be inspired to get creative and take action in their own pursuits.
