Toby the Van

  Indian food and tailgating may not be the first things you associate with each other.  Call it a bold experiment.  Blame it on 1/8 of the Toby crew being Indian.  Either way, we’re stoked about this and hope you’ll love it.  TAVA Indian Kitchen is a cool new place in the Palo Alto Town & Country, right off campus.  They’ve taken the ultimate form of Mexican food, aka the burrito, and re-invented it with an Indian twist.  Use a roti instead of a tortilla, throw some chicken or paneer in it, add tikka or daal sauce, some chutney for a little kick, and you’ve got something delicious! Bring your friends and come on out to tailgate with Toby, because we’ll have two kegs and [read more]

Are you ready for some football?!?  The Toby crew definitely is!  We’re stoked to see the new-look Card continue the amazing success of the last few seasons, and we can’t wait to see all our tailgating friends again. Our first tailgate is coming up fast – RSVP here! A few weeks ago, the Crew met up and talked about Season 3.  We made some important decisions, which will affect how we run our tailgates and how you participate in them, so please read on!  The Toby journey has been awesome for us, and hopefully for you as well, and we’ve put a ton of time and energy into this project.  We’ve been having a blast and yet, at the same time, it’s been exhausting and [read more]

Hi everyone!  Sorry for the far-too-long delay between updates.  As you can imagine, no one was really excited to blog about the heart-wrenching overtime loss in the Fiesta Bowl.  Still, we want to thank everyone who came out to our awesome pre-game tailgate!  We had around 100 people come out and support Toby and the Cardinal, and it was great to see everyone there We also want to extend special thanks to Glendale 11, who came out and spent a great deal of time with us, and posted this awesome Toby-heavy Stanford tailgating video, even if they did spell Wade’s name wrong. In other news, 2012 is off to a really, really busy start for all four of the Toby crew.  As a result, we [read more]

After a tasty breakfast at Jim’s Coney Island Cafe, we decided Toby needed to get cleaned up for his big day on Monday. A quick stop at Bubbles Car Wash and 15 minutes worth of tokens later, Toby was all shiny clean and ready to go!     Share

Toby is well on his way to the Fiesta Bowl!  Compared to last year’s epic 6-day journey to Miami, the drive to Arizona is just a short jaunt. Toby will arrive tonight and we’ll begin prepping right away for the tailgate. We want to thank everyone who has RSVP’d to the event! We’ve now reached capacity, so even though Facebook won’t let us stop more people from joining the event (at least as far as we can tell), if you haven’t already signed up it’s too late! We’re really looking forward to hosting everyone on Monday, and with a fresh $100 of gas in the tank we’re ready to head out and finish the drive to Arizona   See you all there! Share
