Rubbout 20 - XX Rated

We just held our second organizational meeting for Rubbout 20, coming up in April 2011.  The plans are slowly coming together, and the party's going to be AMAZING!  You should all consider coming to Vancouver next April for the event, we'll make sure you have such a good time you'll come back for more.


The big challenge right now is confirming a couple of venues. There are a few businesses that we've used in the past that are undergoing changes in management, facilities that are being renovated, and some new venue possibilities that we've never worked with before. We're hoping to secure the venues we want in the next week or two. We're also hoping to retain the walkability between venues in the Village as much as possible.  The only exception might be what we secure for the Saturday night event.  We want something big enough to hold 200-300 and open the party/play party to gearheads of all types, while keeping the rest of the weekend events more rubber-specific.  There is a Hall we are looking at in East Vancouver that suits are needs, and if we get it for that weekend we are considering a bus shuttle between the host hotel, Pumpjack Pub and the Hall for the evening to get everyone out there and back safely. 

If we get what we want, the opportunities for some sexy events are amazing! We're going to need a lot of volunteer help to pull off the event we want as setup and teardown for the Friday night rubber party, Saturday gear swap and Saturday night party/play party are going to require a lot of effort to get together. It's going to be exciting putting this all together!

Here is an early look at a couple of the advertising shots we're going to use for promotions at 2010 events and to send out to various organizations and organizers around the continent (and hopefully for Rubbout 20, Europe). The photos are courtesy of Priape, who's going to be an essential sponsor of the event. What do you think?
