We're holding a Reno/Tahoe Buses and Microbrews gathering next Friday May 17 2019

MattD writes on the RBP facebook page:
Hey Reno Bus Pilots
The nice weather is finally here so it’s time for our spring meet up. We will be invading the Brewers Cabinet production facility located on 8565 White Fir St. There is no food at this location so either bring a snack or drink a draft. There should be plenty of parking because the surrounding businesses close at 5. Family and friends are welcome. Come enjoy $3 drafts, meet RBP members and check out some awesome VWs.

Friday, May 17, 2019 at 5 PM

The Brewers Cabinet Production Facility, 8565 White Fir St, Reno, Nevada 89523

Bumping for today's meet.

It looks like we have 6-8 folks coming and some of us are bringing some spare spare parts to part forward to others.

See you there!

[sanchius]

What a fun event! There was great turn out, great beer and great conversation.
We were expecting 6-8 buses and 15 showed up, with about twice that number of people.
There were Splits, Bays, Tintops, Westy's, even a nice custom Syncro Doka.
We arrived to just a few buses in the lot and then a few more showed up and then they just kept coming and coming, the distinctive flat-4 exhaust note announcing the next group, until we were taking over the other businesses, the loading zones, and double parking them.

Thanks to John from the Reno Bus Pilots for pulling this together.

If you haven't held one of these in your town, you should consider doing so.

We're definitely looking forward to the next one.

Cancelled

Vanagon owners are rare enough and we don't want to lose any more, so I'm calling off this gathering and asking folks not to attend, until the COVID risk is at a more moderate level and it is safer to congregate.

It looks like another beautiful weekend and this Sunday Feb 28 at 1:30pm, Mrs S, I, and Tuna the Husky will be at the greatly expanded Brewer's Cabinet Production Facility (8565 White Fir St, Reno, NV) for their $10 Beer and Burger special.

If you are in the area, we invite you to stop by if you'd like to safely talk buses over some great microbrews.
