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.

Want to attend the next Chevy Pizza Crawl? Stay tuned for more information on WorstPizza.com or via @WorstPizza on Twitter.

I went to a New Tech Community meeting last week in Boca Raton. I casually listened to that night’s presentation on social media which had great highlights and pointers. My ears perked and I definitely sat forward in my chair when the presenter mentioned Lady Gaga. What is Lady Gaga doing up on the projection screen?? Well I learned my new factoid of the week which I happily told some of my closer friends. None of them knew that Lady Gaga had hit big on YouTube with 180 million views. And everyday that number just keeps on growing. See the video below!

There was the “Evolution of Dance” video that had the top spot for quite some time. Then I read about “Charlie Bit My Finger”. Both of these are funny comical videos. Lady Gaga isn’t funny or comical. There is that bold creative genius though that has to be admired.

It took over two years for “Charlie Bit My Finger” to earn the title of “Most Viewed”. Lady Gaga succeeded in getting the top spot in only a few months, the video was uploaded in November 2009.

I am a fan, but if I had not gone to a technology meeting I would not have known about her hitting #1. Seems like that number of views keeps growing by the day. Probably because the reputation keeps propelling the video forward. So I thought I would share this little bit of trivia with the Go Live Miami readers and with her Little Monsters…

goLIVEmiami.com attended Wordcamp Miami 2010 which brought together over 200 people from South Florida and across the United States – forming a group of WordPress-loving bloggers and developers. With over 20 speakers, session tracks, and parties/activities, it was the premier tech conference for developers and the “average Joe” in South Florida! Jane Wells from Wordpress announced a new game changing plug-in that will get users excited. She also gave us a preview of the upcoming upgrade to Wordpress 3.0. Let us know your thoughts!

BarCamp Miami 2009. Since goLIVEmiami.com is an internet startup, we are trying to learn as much as possible about how to grow our site. Luckily, South Miami is growing as a tech center as demonstrated by last Monday’s BarCamp Miami in Coconut Grove where over 700 people signed up to attend BarCamp Miami 2009.
Jeile and Richard were there to learn and document the whole thing as you can see in this video. It’s only an overview of the event, but we interviewed a lot of the ’superstars’. You should check out their sites, blogs and follow them on Twitter if you are someone who is interested in the web and building your own presence. It’s a little longer than our usual Webisodes, but it’s full of good info.

This is a quickie video taken at Refresh Miami on Richard’s new IPhone 3G. I feel a little silly about how many times I said goLIVEmiami.com. The first time I said it I meant to say RefreshMiami.org but I drew a blank and so saved the moment as best I could. You could hear me stutter a little. Gary Vaynerchuk gave me his professional opinion that I should keep the flubs in because it makes the moment more real. The perfectionist in me would of course prefer a do-over. I have been letting go of my control tendencies through this journey of video blogging.

I had way more fun than I anticipated. They tossed into the crowd t-shirts and stickers. It started out with a Twitter contest to see who could type the fastest on Twitter. Brian Breslin asked the crowd to send @bs #RefreshMiami loves you. There was a delay in the messages showing up in the Twitter stream and so the contest was abandoned and they resorted to tossing out the t-shirts randomly in the crowd. I won a t-shirt with the Twitter logo on it which I posted to Pikchur. @JewGoneWild won the t-shirt that said “In space noone can hear you Tweet”. There was another t-shirt that said “140 is the new 420″ which @PeterCN got through a trade.  There were tons of stickers tossed over the railing and I have no idea who won them.

I’m excited about the next Refresh Miami.

Jeile Marie, Kemila Velan and Richard meet to set up Tech Girls Gone Wild and search for a third member of the Supergirl Group of Bloggerettes. iJustine didn’t make the cut. We’re still trying to think of what to call ourselves. Something kind of like the Pink Ladies of Rydell High. Or perhaps reminiscent of Charlie’s Angels with Richard being Charlie. If you have any suggestions feel free to comment below.

Kemila also did a blog post on our video. Her blog post includes the storyline of how we met and got together. I like reading the story from her perspective because it almost doesn’t even feel real to me. Also, I agree with her perspective that there is alot of creative energy that needs to be harnessed in Miami. There are so many creative and talented people running around this city. We just need to keep pushing ourselves to raise the bar and set a new standard. Click here to see Kemila’s Post.

This video was shot with Richard’s new IPhone 3G. He is like a kid in a candy store. When he watches this video, all he sees is the quality of the video and not the content. Come on Charlie, we’re looking for a new blogger girl.


We will be doing a series of videos, so you can subscribe to our YouTube Channel for the latest videos.

FOWA,Future Of Web Apps, is part of tech week here in Miami. After learning so much at BarCamp Miami last week and making many new friends from around the country (and the web), Jeile Marie and Richard go deeper. We talk to internet super stars like Wine Library TV’s Gary Vaynerchuk, Ryan Carson from Carsonified, Joe Stump from digg, the Microsoft guys and Alex Hunter from the Virgin Online Group talking about his experience with iJustine.

Last night we went to the #HeraldTweetup at Tobacco Road. Richard arrived in style on his BMW motorcycle. I was saved from mistakingly parking my car in front of a fire hydrant and getting my car towed. The girl that saved me the $200+ tow fee had just suffered the consequence of an improperly displayed parking sign. Ok, back to the tweetup….

I had the chance to hang out with @TheRealEdwin who I had not talked to since Barcamp Miami in February when he made an appearance in our Barcamp Miami video. He did a good write up about last night’s Tweetup and included the Twitter names of many attendees. He also mentioned us in his blog post!

Here is an excerpt from Holy Crap My Hair is on Fire Blog:

Too many memories to recount so here are a few rapid fire ones. Some of the fun stuff was getting photography tips from Carlos Miller. Meeting Brad from the Fiesta Movement Project and talking about his massive sombrero while jumping like fools to the camera. Remembering everything from Hurricane Andrew, like how Rick Sanchez was balling on an overpass, or Brian Norcross‘ legendary radio broadcast warning people when to brace themselves, while talking with Lori and Yvette. The sadness of the night was forgetting to get my PALO! CD autographed and also forgetting to see if I fit in the Fiesta. Next time I swear! Getting to meet Steph Rose, and Lori Todd finally, the writer of Brickell Life, and again with the wonderful people behind GoLiveMiami.com. The epic talks of story telling, narration, tech, videography, photography, and everyone’s personal story was the highlight of the night. Also keep an eye out for a collaborative project between a few of the bloggers here in South Florida. I think it’ll be a fun read.Miami Herald Tweetup Round-up! #heraldtweetup

You should read the whole article and there is also a Flickr Pool Link.
I had a great time meeting @GoPalo and hope to see them play at Jazid on Friday. @AgustinaP and I talked about her appearance and disappearance from the Fuerza Bruta video. @Mricio gave me compelling reasons to attend the @SunSentinel Tweetup Thursday night. @TheDonz reminded me that he should win the free tickets to the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen screening coming up June 22nd. @TheRealEdwin reminded me that people read my blog through RSS feeds and don’t get to see all the new changes we have made to the Go Live Miami site in the last month. Definitely a good Tweetup with many more interesting conversations that I need to keep on the DL. heehee!

Today is a glorious day. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit. Facebook finally launched it’s custom links for the profile pages. Finally we’re able to do the same thing MySpace, Twitter, and other platforms have allowed us to do–easily direct our friends to our page. The debate was what to make the handle??

On Twitter I’m @JMarieDirect. I chose this because my AIM was also this handle. I thought it might serve me to be a little bit more discreet since my name is very unique and easily searchable. On several other sites I go by JeileMarie. Facebook did have Jeile available. Simple, short, and sweet. After having a strategy meeting with my brother over the phone, we decided I should stick with JeileMarie. I did suggest HotBlond but he thought this was a cheesy suggestion.



Another milestone for today is that I hit 1,001 friends on Facebook. I had hoped to break 1,000 by the end of June. For no particular reason except it seemed cool to have a nice round number. Now it’s time to get the Go Live Miami Facebook Page to hit 1,000 fans. If only I could invoke the magical powers of South Beach promoters that seem to get their accounts deleted on a regular basis and just as quickly get back online with their 3,000+ friends.
