I'd love to meet you and pick your brain if you've got the time. Looking forward to my first truck-in. If all goes as planned, we'll be coming in early Saturday morning... as long as the shop gets the new water pump in my van!

They seem to have the right attitude about vanning. We sat at a bar for 4 hours deinkin' 3 dollar pints and talking. Andrew's partner Nick started taking notes and gave up about 3 beers in! The key, to me, is the fact that they come at this as vanners, knowing about all the false starts that have happened in the last few years with documentary projects, and they want nothing from us other than some time. No borrowing and wrecking vans, no 8mm movies never to be seen again. they want to pay their own way and be vanners with cameras, not journalists with hotel rooms.
As I told them, and you guys are well aware, as the old vanners die or lose interest, so do the stories, and it would be nice to save some of those stories...
So, on that note, let's give them a shot (or two) and see what happens. One thumb for now, and we'll see how things go at Midwest!

He has lots of info having been at lots of the truck-ins and having the van conversion company. If interested send me an email.

I dont know if you have seen this but you should find it interesting. It is a video of the 4th Truck-In at Bolling Green and is the only footage I've found of my fathers van on the dragstip. There are 3 Parts, I'm trying to get a copy of this myself. My father said he would more than happy to talk to you, we all live in Palatine so we're close. http://youtu.be/6tAVMdoKUcMhttp://youtu.be/oJwQREXQ6F8http://youtu.be/Tyj52HF60so | | | Re: Vannin' Documentary film | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 Vanner Extraordinaire | Vanner Extraordinaire Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 | Hi Ken Jr. Bob told me you were on here. You and your dad should come to the 40th National Truck In in July. It would be great to see you guys, and great to show you how things have changed, and how they have stayed the same, too. The event is at the Walworth County Fairgrounds in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Contact Lil Ed on here and maybe we can work out a day pass or something!
