How can you BYOB?/A brief history of the event and all this year's details!
BYOB is a lot of things.. First and foremost it's a 3 day van-in.. That's the priority!
But.. over the years we've tried to introduce different elements to make it radder and killer place to find cool stuff for sale ( van parts, leather and jewelry, vintage, etc ) and cool ORIGINAL music! And even cool tattoos!
So who can attend BYOB?
Vanners. Goes without saying. Vanners can do three separate options-
a. The whole event- (two night camping stay) Fri 11:00am -Sun noon $80.00 per vehicle (stuff in as many friends as you want)
b. 1/2 event- (one night camping stay) Sat 11:00am -Sun noon $340.00 per vehicle (stuff in as many friends as you want)
c. Single day event ( no camping ) Sat 11:00am-10:00pm, this option can be used if you only want to enter your van in the van show Saturday or for whatever other reason can only be out there one day. $25.00 per vehicle (stuff in as many friends as you want)
2. Visitors ( any type of vehicle ) who want to see our bands Saturday, Check out our vendors Saturday or check out the vans and vanshow Saturday. This is also the best option for vendors without a van that are camping. $25.00 per vehicle ( stuff in as many friends as you want )
** important things to note-
You can also pay at the gate but it is more than the preregistration price. (please pre-register, it makes everybody's life easier)
Only vans camp, no exceptions.
Our Saturday visitors need to leave by 10:00 PM no exceptions
***side note*** when I say stuff in as many friends as you want that could be literal or figurative. #ThatsWhatSheSaid #ThatsWhatHeSaid #Thatsvannin

Fri-Sun $80.00 11am Friday- Sunday noon Sat-Sun $40.00 10am Saturday- Sunday noon
Saturday Day Time only $25.00 Saturday 10am-10pm

Now …..some of you may be wondering what is the backstory of BYOB? And whether you’re really interested or not I’m going to tell you!
BYOB technically started with a very different name, “Do it in the Desert” . In 2014 that was California Street vans first overnight event that we had put on. The event was at Mojave oasis in Newberry Springs, California. Most people who have been around a second have been to Mojave oasis when it was a functional tiki themed camping spot. It was a fairly remote destination, and you really were in the middle of nowhere… but the place was set up really nice, at least one huge tiki bar, multiple ponds …a track for small engine vehicles…. And then of course, open desert with no fences..,,, the kind of shit you dreamed about when you were a kid! We beat the crap out of some minibikes that weekend, did outdoor movies at night…. Did I mention all the fun on the mini bikes? lol
Needless to say after our first do it in the desert adventure, we were fucking stoked on doing it again… we prepared for that in 2015 … we found out kind of out of a blue that the entire site had been wrecked… strip of copper, all the normal Tweaker shit. We were bummed! We did a last second expedition up to lake Isabella which we called “do it at the river” using the same spot the gypsy Vanners usually use for camping. It was fun and once again some minibikes got that shit beat out of them.
Booooo Never happened! But it came back! hahah
