Chronicling the adventures of an elite experiential marketing team. From the nine years on the road to new adventures in Portland, OR. We are the Roving Van Gelders and we can’t wait to see you down the road.
Our plans changed from last week. The trip home was moved forward a few days. We said goodbye to Josh's grandmother Bernie. Joining family to say goodbye to an amazing woman, she set the example in her 90 of how to live a full life. So this week will be in both of our hometowns,... Continue Reading →
The way that Josh and I live may seem quite strange or extreme to some people. While we don't have a home of our own and live out of a suitcase maybe my life isn't that different from yours. Like you have a space to take care of, mine just folds up and rolls down... Continue Reading →
This is our last week of touring with Rohde & Schwarz, probably not our last week on the road. We will be in Clifton, NJ and Syracuse, NY this week. After these last two shows the trailer is going to visit Indianapolis for some repairs. We will probably stay with it and also be going... Continue Reading →
Another crazy week of moving around, but some pretty cool stops. Starting this week in Cape Canaveral at the Kennedy Space Center, moving to the opposite coast of Florida for a show in Clearwater, and finishing the week in Huntsville, AL. From there we push off for our last week of tour season with stop... Continue Reading →
This was shaping up to be the first year that Josh and I didn't end up doing shows in inclement weather. Our client is very dutiful about keeping their truck in fair weather. Now our last week this year will be a bit of luck and we did spend some miserably hot weeks down south... Continue Reading →
We are starting our final few weeks of shows before the 2013 tour year end for us. The next few weeks will be a bit crazy and fast paced. We start out in Greensboro (visiting friends before the push), a show in Charleston, SC and one near Atlanta. Weekend plans to be determined but they... Continue Reading →
This is our last week in Washington, just one more show here before we start south. We will also be going to Norfolk, VA and Greensboro. Very excited to see our friends. Next week will bring us to Charleston, SC and Atlanta.
Still in the DC area, almost feel like we live here. Next weekend I will be flying home to see my family.
When living with nearly all of your belongings with you in a semi truck's cab it is best to be a bit picky about what you have. Josh and I don't travel for fun, we work. My office is what fits into my backpack and this tote. We call it the "Office Box", keeper... Continue Reading →
We featured the song Stuck in Indianapolis by Bottle Rockets this week, sort of setting up this post. It’s a fun song that we completely identify with. This musician has been touring the country and is now stuck in Indianapolis after his van breaks down. Not able to move forward in miles or life he... Continue Reading →
