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.
Josh got to go home this week, home that is to Wyoming. There is a rare occasion when we get separated for short period of time. Josh had to take a trailer to Salt Lake City and I got stay behind to work on Reflections planning. I have to say it is so strange to... Continue Reading →
This little go cart project has turned into a family affair, here is my mom building the seats. This again is not a strange thing for my family. I come from a long line of talented seamstress, my own mother was going to make my wedding gown. Would not have been a first for her.... Continue Reading →
I had no idea how much I missed the road, we just got back out after a month of being stationary. Couldn't believe how quickly life falls back into rhythm. We also did our first set up in a month, a challenge in cold and ice but it went smoothly. As you can tell from... Continue Reading →
What is yellow and black and all over the floor, the paint for the wee hot rod!!!! So last weekend the go-cart was painted but as most projects go this one was not without problems. That one being the paint gun not functioning properly. I been told the color is more like an orange, they... Continue Reading →

All year, Bank of America members (debt and credit cards) are given free admission to more then 100 museums the first weekend of the month. I... Continue Reading →
I have decided to make the building of my Dad/Nephew's go cart a regular part of the blog. I will post pictures and videos as they built it. I missed this chance with the last Hot Rod my dad built, the one that we matched my wedding colors too. I think it is just one... Continue Reading →
We made it back to Detroit safe and sound on Monday, it looks like we will be here for a while. Reflections is going dormant for the winter, at least for now and no new tours are starting. I will likely work out of the office on whatever comes up. Josh might get sent out... Continue Reading →
