OK, we'll get started at 3 and you can catch up when you get there.
Also, I'm trying to lighten the load for the upcoming move.
If anyone attending wants any parts on my for-sale list at 75% off the listed price,
let me know by 2pm mountain time so I can bring them with.
In case you don't know what we look like, we'll have a copy of the book "Vanlife"
at the table that was a going away present from a neighbor.

I’d take the cubby for $25, if I’m reading your post correctly.
Regardless, see you all this afternoon!

Yup, it's yours. I'll have a bunch of random free stuff too that I'll throw in a box for the taking as well.

Wife still isn’t back. Crap, doubt anyone will be there at 5:15 which would be the earliest...
Next time.

Our Vanagons & Microbrews gatherings are starting to develop a comfortable pattern;
spend an hour or so inside meeting the new folks and catching up with the regulars over specialty beers and foodtruck goodies,
then spend an hour or so outside checking out each others vans and talking about our plans and upcoming events
Yesterday's V&M at Epic was a lot of fun.
We got to see a number of tidy conversions: Bostig, some suby 2.5s, joetiger's turbo syncro.
We talked tires, learned about favorite mods, traded parts and planned for the summer events.
And the collection of vans was a hit with the locals, we got lots of interest and positive comments from the passerbys.
Someone there said it well; each van was interesting, unique and very well done.
I'm gonna miss these good folks...

What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Good beer, too. It was great to see everybody and make some new friends. Sanchius, we'll miss you buddy.
Luna!

Agreed! Great time and enjoyed meeting new friends and seeing cool new Vanagons! Looking forward to the next get together already. Happy trails, Sanchius-Reno will be a great new adventure.

Sounds like the perfect date for another meet-up. The calendar says I'm free that afternoon.
Where should we meet, Denver area folks? Somewhere with a parking lot, centrally located and relatively close to major highways and with great beer, I'd think.
DBC Canworks maybe?

I've had some major issues with my van too but am back up and running! Plus, I'd really like to meet some vw folks in the front range. Count me in.
So, DBC Canworks April 14 at some time?
