Hi Everybody!
I've been sick for most of the last 4 weeks so I have not done as much
updating as I would have liked. I am finally starting to feel better so
I took advantage of the opportunity and did some important updates to
the EveryBus web site located at www.everybus.com
Here is the Reader's Digest version
EveryBus starts Thursday 4.14.2005 at Hagen-Stone Park located just
south of Greensboro, NC. This is the 7th annual EB and I expect about
150 VW buses, Vanagons and Eurovans. The event is primarily a campout
but there are several fun activities for kids and adults that will take
place during EB.
To get right to it go to

I am proud to announce the SUBURBAN DESIGN CORE team is coming down
from Canada and will be providing goods and services that will include
Tattoos, pin striping, cool t-shirts, glass art and perhaps something
to quench your thirst. Details are here
http://www.mindspring.com/~everybus/SDCshoppe.html
This year the Canadians return with the most excellent pancake
breakfast on Friday morning. Although nothing formal is in place,
Saturday is usually the volunteer burrito breakfast. Before lunch the
moonbounce should arrive for the kids and there will be some other fun
kid stuff after lunch. Also after lunch the VW camping competition will
begin. Greg Potts is running this event and it will be a blast. The
gist of it is
The Bus Camping Competition - Greg Potts will preside over this event
From a rolling start, the clock starts when the bus wheel's stop
rolling. The crew must then:
1. Pop the top, make a bed and get horizontal.
2. put away the bed and set out a meal. (table, plate, cutlery)
3. clean away the meal, and get relaxed in a lawn chair with a
beverage.
4. pack up and put the roof down, when everyone is aboard and the
wheels are turning the clock stops.
This could be the most fun ever had at EB. In order the make the prizes
commensurate with fun we will put up the following
1st place 512K iPod Shuffle
2nd place Your camping fees refunded
3rd place Pair of camp chairs.
Saturday evening will be the annual chili cookoff. See the website for
details.

After the chili has been judged the pot luck will begin. After supper
we will clean up a little and hand out some door prizes. Saturday night
will be filled with socializing and perhaps some music.
There have been numerous updates to the carabus list.
http://www.mindspring.com/~everybus/carabus.html
People are coming from as far as Denver Co. Boston MA, Quebec, Ontario
and Miami FL. Please check the list and if you wish to be added let me
know.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
