Chevy Pizza Crawl 2

Jeile Marie | 05/01/2010 | 2 Comments

Saturday, April 24th, 2010 was a day my stomach will never forget. There are other blog posts explaining in detail a play-by-play of the day. You can visit Toby or not Toby , Chris Fullman, or the king of it all Worst Pizza. You can also see all related commentaries on Twitter using the hashtag #ChevyPizzaCrawl. I will leave the judging of the pizzas to the pizza experts and the judging of the cars to the those that know best. I prefer to recall the things that made the day special for me.

I was on sensory overload by the end of the day. I rode in five different Chevrolet cars. Ate more pizza in one day than I did in all of 2009. Made lots of new friends that I needed to remember not just their first names but also their Twitter handles. Remembered to take pictures. Wrestled with UberTwitter on my painfully slow Blackberry. And kept my mini-skirt from riding up at revealing moments!

I give thanks that my turn in the Corvette was for the shortest trip of the route. When @JunglJim revved up the engine and took off I realized I may never be able to comb my hair again. Reminder to any girls taking the ‘vette for a ride with the top down wear a hat or ponytail!

I remember when @Lapp offered me a set of keys to drive one of the cars. I must have looked at him like he was an alien. My reaction…ME drive?? No thanks! I want to let the boys drive me around. I drive myself around every single day of the week! I had the thrill of riding in the Camaro with @MikeLaMonica. He was cool and in control of that “Hugger”. I can testify to the effectiveness of the seatbelt in that car. It wouldn’t let me lean forward to take a pic with him at the stoplight. So not only does the Camaro hug the turns, but it hugs its passengers too…very tightly.

I must have been drunk with pizza love when we took pics in front of Slice because I am not sure what came over me when I was posing for the group pic alongside of @LaurenLisaP. @VitAlex had a bit of trouble snapping those pictures. So far no evidence has surfaced thank goodness.

I was really surprised to get a riccotta cheesecake with a candle on top at Amici’s Pizza Cafe. Thanks to Amici’s for the dessert and the bottle of wine they gave each of us. The group sang happy birthday and took way too many pics of that moment. I wasn’t sure which way to look and was a little freaked by the number of phones and cameras pointed in my direction. There’s a picture somewhere of me with a deer in the headlights look.

My favorite place of the day was the Sicilian Oven in Coral Springs and I reviewed it on Yelp. Although I had decided I was done eating for the day as I entered the restaurant the game changed when the Sicilian salad with candied walnuts were served. Thanks to them I may be driving again to Coral Springs for another visit.
