* Without Barbara Nixon we wouldn’t even be in the Tweet Race. She gets top billing (and bottom billing here) for letting @tsand know about this little experiment with awesome cars, the social web and a very interesting football game in Dallas, TX. Thanks again Barbara!

Team Wardrobe Consultant/Life Coach- @mcovelli – Maddy Covelli
Team Gatronomist: @micwalker
An example of my work.
Mind if we also list you as our Team Spell Checker?
My son came in 2nd in the school in the spelling bee. Obvously he didn’t get it from me!
Teach Orthonologist – @patrickjpowers – Patrick Powers
In respect to this being a charitable event…… I will not accept NOR expect a salary of any kind.
It is an honor to be involved.
Thank you.
Jennifer
I can RT the hell out of anything and everything… thats worth something!
~
Tommy, I need an official team title to list… Team Retweeter work?
Darn, how did you get to be Team ReTweeter? Can we co-fill this position?
@gfriese said I should be Team Virtual Assistant…..oh, maybe I can do that and part of my duties will be to RT?
Team EMT – @gfriese – Greg Friese
Oh can I have teenage sarcasm translator???? I seem to be pretty good at it with 2 teenagers!
Team office lady @lhaase09
Team Dog Whisperer – @sfgwv – Although, given the route, Team Coyote Whisperer might be a better option.
Team Finish Line – @bradjward
Give us the deets & Team Finish Line and I are so there.
Should have my “free time” schedule in the next few days. Brings me such joy to know you guys are so committed. THIS is going to be fun!
I have to think of a title/position, I need suggestions… :-/ @amayaatx
How about Team SXSW 2011 Host.
Yes, that will work.
Thank you!
Team Ego Booster (I’ll laugh at all your dumb jokes, tweets, etc.) @shelleykeith
Team Guidance Counselor- @ijesspederson – Jessica Pederson
Team Ph.D. –Stuart Ciske, Ph.D.
I present to you the options.
a) Team Photog- Wherein I provide a variety of photography insights, advice, on the fly Photoshop work, tips, tricks, texts of photos of myself to yourselves to provide inspiration, do’s, don’t's, and random bits of goodness (like get Hipstamatic for your iPhone, John. You’ll need it).
b) Team Huckleberry- Just what it sounds like it is http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=huckleberry
The choice is yours.
TEAM SAFETY OFFICER
What’s your twitter handle?
Team House DJ – @juliafallon
I could be the Team Disappointed Eagles Fan. #gopackgo

I’ll be Team Poet!
Team Motivator!!
Team Boulanger to go with your Team Sommelier. You’ll need the carbs

Team Teamster – @kuratowa – Jeff Stevens
You already have a librarian – how about a team storyteller – and/or team Mom?
How about TEAM back seat driver? @technolibrary
I hereby dibs “Team Science Teacher” or “Team Dorky Humor Coordinator”
I will be either Team SXSW 2011 Host or Team Nutritionist – @amayaatx
thought of another one: Team Welcome Wagon – @amayaatx – since I do live in Texas.
You can only pick one… which would you like. SXSW 2011 Host, Nutritionist, or Welcome Wagon. I think they’re all great. But the Nutritionist thing makes me kind of nervous. #bacon
Team iTeam – @cjewells1 – Cindy Gleason
Team -Moms’ and Mercedes’ Rock- @zebastyandylan- Dana Valle
Team Holodeck Manager if it is not already taken @DebraSanborn
Okay then the 1 I pick is:
Team Nutritionist – @amayaatx
(nothing wrong with a little bacon!)
Team Slow Clap Leader – @howardkang
Slow claps make everything seem monumental (purposely refraining from using epic).
I notice you do not have a team bartender – I’d like to offer my services.
Team Web – @gegere – Jason Gegere
Team Mack Daddy, @teach42, Steve Dembo,
Kick ass in this thing!

I didn’t see Team Slacker listed anywhere. I can’t believe that’s not taken yet. Probably no one got around to applying for it yet. Same goes for Team Procrastinator.
Team Oh Canada – @kevingrout – Kevin Grout
Actually, that’s not really a title.
How about Team Marketing Specialist – @kevingrout – Kevin Grout
Team Canadian Ambassador/Translator – @shareski
Team Diva – @nsharoff – Nancy Sharoff
Ok…put me down for TEAM BUILDER. Might as well do SOMETHING with the HR degree and MBA! @dschink Debbie Schinker
Team DTG (Distance to Go) Calculator what else would a math teacher do beside drink all of your beer.
Team Galactic President Superstar McAwesomeville – @wellta15 – Terry Weller
Team Ambassador of Bacon – @wellta15 – Terry Weller
Galactic President Superstar McAwesomeville is a bit long.
Team Web Dev Southern Division – @MJoy – Monica Gotelaere
I’ll go with:
Team Skier – @mhendersonco – Mike Henderson
What the what???? I’m not on staff?
LOL. I’m the Team Liz Lemmon
Does the team need a bacon consultant? I would be willing to fill that position.
