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.
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 →
Well I should have posted this a long time ago, like when I was still in Utah!! One of my favorite perks that this job brings is the chance to meet up with other bloggers. We have certainly made the rounds out east among the Scottie folk. Unfortunately we so rarely make it west that... Continue Reading →

Before I begin I want to make it clear that I am not trying to bash any American athlete or our coaches; just NBC's terrible coverage. As you know we spent last week, opening week of the 2012 Olympics, in Canada. Just as we would have done in US, we spent most of our free... 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 →
We are spending all week in Whistler, but start the second leg of our tour next week. Stops include San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Denver. Quote of the Week: "One of my favorite pastimes is getting a nephew messed up on Shady Lane Margaritas" Song of the Week: Back to Me by Kathleen Edwards... Continue Reading →
