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.
Another week out in San Jose, enjoying the lovely spring weather. This week is pretty busy but next week will be very exciting. We are going to Portland, we spend so little time out West and Oregon gets neglected. I'm already looking forward to the food.
I want to give a big congratulations to the Seth and Abby!!! Being AVG is pretty awesome. This is the start of our nearly month long stay in the San Jose area. We are going to make a trip or two up to San Fran to see family and Josh is looking at what camping... Continue Reading →
Staying in a hotel nearly every night of the year can get a bit tiresome. I know it’s just part of the job and certainly better than sleeping in the truck (probably the most frequent question I get asked). We typically stay at one of a handful of chains due to familiarity and services offered. ... Continue Reading →
Boy am I glad to be heading out of the Southwest, this Midwestern girl just can't take the heat. I actually travel with a very small bedside humidifier. Sunny California welcomes us back today with a drive to San Diego. We will spend half the week there before making for San Jose, a stop that... Continue Reading →
Vegas was great, but a week was enough for me. I do look forward to another visit, this time staying at a resort with a killer pool. We are back in Phoenix this week and will soon be making a run to California that will take us through May.
VEGAS BABY!!!! After five years on the road it's nice to go to someplace for the first time. Not only will this be our first visit to Vegas but it's a long one. We will be here for an entire week. We have some good friends who live here and are going to show us... Continue Reading →
Well that is the famous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, taken from the comfort of our rental car. We spend about a week around the LA area but only had one afternoon off to see the sights. Instead of hopping onto one of the tour busses we just cruised around to take in the local... Continue Reading →
The next few weeks will be a bit crazy. This week is the LA area, including Santa Barbara. Hopefully stopping to see a friend or two (or four-legged). Then we move onto Arizona, with there only being one show next week a trip to the Grand Canyon has pushed itself onto our list! The first... Continue Reading →
This is our final week in Texas, probably for the year. We move onto California from here, do some shows around LA and San Diego to start.
We have often talked about how every small town has its own claim to fame and usually a little museum dedicated to its honor. Kilgore is no exception, actually there are two on the same block. We had some time to spare and thought a visit to the East Texas Oil Museum was just the... Continue Reading →
