Frankly, it looks like Longo Toyota in socal is the only dealership that understands the enthusiast.

Can we, at the very least, call it "We've got an 86 event"?
The lack of indefinite article is driving me mad.

Or, we could just keep calling it the Mega Meet. Ignore the corporate labels.

OMG, it's KILLING me. Can't stop correcting it in my head. Need an ice pick.

This is what I plan to do in conversation, but then there comes the time to point someone to the official event page or Facebook. You will have to call it *audible sigh* "We've got 86 event".

Sympathy for @HATED1. I'm sure he wasn't looking forward to springing that on us.

Feeling your pain, bro. It's all good.

UGH..that's a terrible name for the event. I bet it was driven by the corporate folk at the toyota showroom where this is being organized.

NW86 or PNW 86ers or Northwest GT86 would have been plenty good and simple.

We can make a name for ourselves whenever Seattle and Portland guys gather. Maybe PNW 86 Alliance. So... we can just say, we the PNW 86 Alliance attended the We Got 86 Event in Olympia, WA.

Hey guys/gals! I appreciate the feedback about the naming of the event.

When I first began to look for an area to hold our event I researched and checked out several possibilities. Toyota of Olympia graciously accepted, and is going above and beyond to welcome us as well as provide events, prizes, and entertainment.

Is the name the greatest? possibly not, but are we going to let that hold us back from meeting other members of the 86 community and holding what is planned to be the biggest gathering of 86s in the PNW? Definitely not!

We will have fun guys/gals! Let's not be negative and get maximum participation! The name isn't whats going to make the event, but US as drivers and enthusiasts. All that is asked of you is to show up on time, have a positive attitude, and have FUN!

Also there is a some talk circulating on Facebook about pre-meet information and way things should be done. Let me re-assure everyone that all aspects of this meet have been covered and is taken care of. I have successfully organized/managed various events and assure you that you will be satisfied. However if you feel that something has been overlooked, please send me a pm and we can chat about it.

Lastly, I do not have a Facebook account and rely heavily on @Missy to pass on information and take care of the FB media.

I like the idea @indesign. Thank you @Ultramaroon

Thank YOU, @HATED1, @Missy, @Chen. PNW 86 Alliance We've Got 86 Event is in FULL EFFECT!

What can the friends of the PNW 86 Alliance, trying to attend the We've got 86 Event be called? Or previously a NW86 group with the PNW 86 Alliance, going to the We've Got 86 Event with PNW 86 Alliance? I think that sounds better imo.
