LV Dutch Dubbers

As courtesy to the LV Dutch Dubbers, I wanted to make you all aware of their get together coming up at the American of Wheels Museum, (the new auto museum in Pa). They are hosting this event. Check out the Dutch Dubbers website for additional information. (A link is under our favorite things). They represented at Dub N Rub last year, and will be there again this year. They are just off the LV exit of the NE turnpike extension (1.5hrs above Phily, 20 min from NJ) If you have any questions or need further info, please email them! They are great people. Unfortunately I have to work that day or I would be cruising out that way to join them. I wish them a sunny day with tons of Dubbers!

Grand Opening


Back in the fall, Lemorris contacted us after seeing last year's show posted on theSamba. He wanted to contribute his talent to our show because of how cancer has affected him in his life. We were excited to work with him. He took our ideas, and worked in last years t-shirt design by Brian Yohn and created something unique for us and we truly appreciate all his time and efforts!
Many companies have donated items to the show, people have lent their raw talent and a few have made monetary contributions that are giving the show the edge to top last year in donations.
This is no ordinary show and shine, this is Dub N Rub...a fundraiser for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! Who doesn't want to save boobies?

Volksfest, etc

HAVOC put on a great show today in Campbelltown! They changed the format a bit, due to volunteer issues...but as a show and shine it worked out well I thought. I did "show" the car, but it ended up being a disaster due to an emergency vet visit at 7am. The dog's fine, but the car was full of hair! ah well, there's always next year.
I spent a good deal of the morning walking around and meeting people, trying to get the word out on the show. I met a lot of people from CePA that I knew from screen names, but not to see them personally and a few groups putting out the word on the show by posting on their sites. I did not put our fliers in unattended cars, but if you got one on your front seat thank Ko for that! I enjoyed meeting everyone, and hope I didn't harass too much. Hahaha.
I was so happy to hear that a lot of people already knew of the show...our campaign must be working then! Susquehanna Valley Vanagon Club knew all about the show, and has put June 20th on their calendar as a club function! That's so cool. I know that the Dutch Dubbers have done the same thing on their calendar too. We're on people's "to do" lists! I love it.
Lemorris got back to me today, and I have a tentative price on t-shirts. If they fall in the price range he says they will, they'll be $15 again this year.
I would love to have another company sponsor $200 to completely cover the costs of the t-shirts. If we could find one more, then the whole show will be covered and all the money donated June 20th will go toward the walk! That would be so awesome! We still have a few t-shirts left over from last year. If you're interested they are $10. Email or call me, and we can work something out via paypal and the post office!

under construction

Lemorris has sent bits and pieces of his design to us...and we are on the edge of our seats waiting to see the final product.
Rumor has it Chirco Performance and Restoration is going to be donating posters to us of the final design...I can't even begin to summarize what Chirco has to offer the air cooled community. Just take a look for yourself....www.chirco.com
They've also generously offered 10% off purchases when you tell them Dub and Rub sent you! That's an awesome deal guys, thanks again for your generosity!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning


What's with the movie quote? It's because DubKorps is donating some items to the show. I am very new to DubKorps forum and am still a lowly Private, but I just ordered my Sector 2 sticker and I can't wait to get it!
The show is rapidly approaching, and just recently Jason and I put a bid on a house. We're getting all the inspections and mortgage stuff going, and I'm quickly running out of time during the day. But enough about that. I've added a link to DubKorps under " a few of our favorite things"....

Coming Soon!

Lemorris sent us the above design for our postcard advertising and we love it. We added some text and ordered them the beginning of March. By the time Volksfest rolls around you'll start seeing them completely done. While I'll be at Volksfest selling t-shirts from last year and handing out the fliers for this years show, I'm also think I may be showing my car for the first time! It's really just brand spanking stock at this point, but eventually we'll get to doing things.
If you registered last year, we asked for your email address so be prepared to see an email from us closer to the time of the show. We won't be spammin or clogging up your inbox, so do not fear! I think I have emails and phone calls out to every possible company I can think of...but I'm always up for suggestions, and if you're in with someone and think they may be interested...give out my info!
It's getting closer...can't wait to see you there!
