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.
It seems as though when we see our friends it's either feast or famine. We just spent two weeks in Denver and spent a good portion of that time with friends. However it has been more than a year since we have spent time with them. Each year we make it to Greensboro but it's... Continue Reading →
Back in the US now and on our way to sunny California. I so rarely get to see this part of country and never the Bay area. We will be moving markets every week for a while, a nice pace. After California we make for Salt Lake City (might be a Scottie visit in there)... Continue Reading →

There are some definite perks to our lifestyle, like earning enough hotel and travel points that we get a huge break on vacation costs. We also get a chance to stay at resorts that would otherwise be too pricey. One fun perk is tied into our transportation. While we do travel around in the truck,... Continue Reading →
Well there was a slight change in plans last week. Josh is coming back to meet me today. Our new tour starts on Monday and he is bringing that truck up from being completed. We have three shows this week around the Detroit Metro area and then we head for Milwaukee and Cedar Falls.
