Curious about the registration requirement though. I've been to 2 van events. The first one, I had to register, and I don't want to go into tedious details, but there were lots of issues, and was only resolved thanks to a POC. The last one didn't need registration. Hacked portal and got the badge tick.
NL van won't probably come to Finland in a good while but still, it comforts me greatly to see that the van is once again travelling. Hopefully we'll get other events soon enough.
@NianticThia so if I end up traveling some 8+ hours to an event held in the middle of the week, what are the actual chances that there will be swag to purchase?
Will it even be complete? Ie will all of the cards contain the codes that should be on them?
I'm basing this on the two swag sales earlier this year that sold out super quickly. And previous NL tours where swag amounts were an issue.
Asking because 8+ hours is a long drive to end up with messed up swag or no swag and burning vacation days to do so.
Or do you anticipate a tour through the Midwest in the semi near future?
@GustafValentine yes I'll be the driver and it's fine to purchase kits and have a local or someone attending pick up the kits for you. We should have enough for anyone that wants one.
Can't wait...and it's good to finally see some dates in print. Looking forward to more details and the reg links. I was trying to find a way to swing 6 stops, but will likely have to settle for 4...and my platinum NL-1331 badge. 😄
See you on the road again, Ethan...as always, safe traveling and happy portaling. We've missed you.

Excited. Surprised they’re skipping Seattle.
How do these work? Go check in to get a badge tick? Will this be the existing nl-1331 badge or the newer one?
Hoping to make it to 3 of these!

Now I have to decide whether I grou-pie my way through one, two or three events.
EDIT: The word filter has the WEIRDEST entries.
NL Rides again. Can't wait. See you Aug 10th
I need to take @NianticThia to the Basque Block in Boise! Best place in town!
Unfortunate that Seattle got snubbed.
@NianticThia enjoy the tour! And don't forget that there is a whole world out there to explore beyond the US.
LATAM is still waiting for NL1331 so we can #MeetYouOutHere
Need to get to the Midwest before winter hits. Omaha, Des Moines, Davenport (Quad Cities) Peoria, Milwaukee, Madison, Monroe, Chicago to name a few.
If NL1331 is heading to LATAM, I'm going to stowaway on the van! (jkjk)

I'm going to the Oakland meetup in July. Can't wait to see you all!
A few questions:
good reminder to bring toast plushies on the tour!. Thank you!
Eastern US needs some love
so much THIS!!!
Thank you for picking Murrieta on Aug 28 th. See you there!
Is there something special happening at the Oakland meetup?
Good to see Events coming back! ☺️
Excited for Portland, Boise, and SLC. Should be fun!
I would be if they also added mission days to each event.
Maybe the US Canada border will be open by August.
DENVER!!
And I'll probably visit more.
But, come visit us in Denver all you Ingress agents out there.
I'll be see you there in Florida!!!
The East Coast out in the cold. Where's the love?

Can we have more informations about "Second Sunday Évent"? It's Worldwide ou just in US
I doubt its US only, most likely worldwide event do local banners.. but full details would be nice to get for many to plan etc..
Yeah! Happy to see the van driving again even if I'm living in Belgium @NianticThia ! Enjoy this UNIQUE experience.
Is Ethan your driver ? (<3)
Will there be swags and can we honestly have the right to ask some American friends to physically buy them for us ?
Thanks for the answers.
@GustafValentine yes I'll be the driver and it's fine to purchase kits and have a local or someone attending pick up the kits for you. We should have enough for anyone that wants one.
@EvilSuperHeros I would say the odds are pretty high. We will offer some for presale through event links and likely have some onsite as well.
I have been wanting to hack the van for years! I can't wait to see you in Phoenix in Aug!
