Rather than posting individual van-related meet-up threads, I thought I'd open a single catch-all thread where information about them can be consolidated as they happen.
Inaugurally but retrospectively, here's an Instagram screenshot below from the debut of
MMS Fest, which took place this past weekend in Bucks County PA. I believe it's going to be an annual event. Even with $5.00 diesel, it looks like it brought together two or three dozen Sprinter owners.
This is the kind of event that I would definitely schedule myself to attend if I could fit it in with other travel. With Joel Sell (
Million Mile Sprinter) at the helm, it promises to be an enriching event populated by highly-motivated DIYers (I do not have any financial connection to MMS, but I have hired Joel for his mechanical expertise in the past).
Call me ADD or whatever, but the style of meet-up where people simply sit around and stuff their faces with food and liquor are fingernails on the chalkboard for me - that is the essence of pure mindless hell right there. I need to be engaged in meaningful activities, meeting engaging new like-minded people and learning about new things in the process. MMS Fest did not work out for us schedule-wise this year, but next year, I might try to fit it in.
