Just a heads up, that this is not in the same place as last year! The web site said there were still issues in getting permits for the spot so they changed locations to Bellevue College.

The Bellevue CC location should work out nice, Its just a minute off of I-90. Will also make a bit of a shorter trip for those coming from B.C. less then 20 minute from DT Seattle.

miketolliver · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2012, 11:15:58 AM »

So what new for this week.
We stopped by the venue last night to look at locations for cars show and have moved to floor two to provide more space. Vendors and sponsors will move there as well.
We'll have over 350 swap spaces starting at $10 each.
Clubs can ask for pre arranged parking of 10-15 spaces all so.
We have asked to increase our restroom trailers so lines will be smaller ,,but still the nicest you have ever seen a cars show in PNW.

We might have a new sponsor vendor who is large classic car insurance who i personally use for my 6 bikes and cars that are parked more driven.

We are wating on samples for the new show shirt and classic hoodie

miketolliver · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2012, 01:19:28 PM »

So whats new ?

Pre-sale of our hoodies are on sale right now for $30 so get in while we have some.

Order then and a lot of other fun things here
http://pnwspringmeet.bigcartel.com/

Kahiko Kula will be attending PNW SpringMeet 2012 . Since there club is so large with their family effort they will have the entire first floor for their club. So when you’re at the show , walk down one the 9 staircase sets or the (2) elevators to see them. But I bet you’ll smell the Moko Loko’s though out the show.

You can start to buy vendor and swap spaces here as well

Yup , this is one the reasons we moved again. The lights are perfect for swapper and attendees , but if you are a photgrapher , bring a tri-pod .

What’s new today . We had a lot of folks sign up last week , you still have 27 days left to sign up online BEFORE we close online registrations. Why do we have to close. The staff what to organize better by mailing you the tickets ( arm bands) and instruction prior to you all showing up.

Each group will have their own route on campus , entrance and garage opening to speed up load in.

Arm bands are in route . It’s an open campus so no armband you'll be asked to leave or pay entrance fee on the spot.

2012 shirts are being printed as I type . I have a preview and they is sexy. Everyone will want them.

Goodie bags - being printed now with sponsors. Pre-registered folks will get them first for vendors , car show and swappers . Your registration will have a coupon to redeem at our booth. Yes they are recycled and re-useable .

TNT treats and Naomi's Treats will be back again this year.

Renton MOM's group will be hosting a craft area for kids at the event (floor 2)

miketolliver · « **Reply #18 on:** April 09, 2012, 12:57:26 PM »

So its Monday and here is whats new.

We just signed Hagerty to a Vendor booth. If you’re not using them to insure you Dubs , why not ? I use them to insure my 66 Olds , 74 rabbit , 75 rabbit , and 77 rabbit. 95 % of the time those cars sit in the garage and don’t need to full covered. They are protected and one when I drive them are they active. There is huge savings on that. I know what your thinking 77 rabbit , but I have receipts for over $25K in that fully rebuilt car and I know a few of you have 20 50 75K in some of those rides .

http://www.hagerty.com

Next I’ve been working with AAA to get them to show as well. In progress and we’ll see what happens .

Registrations continue till the 22nd . We have to have time to send you in Us mail the armbands and instructions. Yes there will be a list and but the wife wants to keep that on the down low. After the long lines last year we want to make sure we get you in fast and efficient.

Where are the swappers , we have lots of vendors , clubs and car show folks . We have 2 floors , about 340 10x16 spaces set aside to swappers and haven’t sold that may yet. So get in on it ! There are no assigned spaces so we won’t slow down the load in process . Swappers are the only ones that get in early , way early to setup . We even have two routes to those floors for that reason.

The 2012 shirts are done , I don’t have them yet but soon.

Stickers or other items ordered with spaces will be shipped before the show. I know you want them first . All show spaces and arm bands will be mailed starting the 22nd.

miketolliver · « **Reply #19 on:** April 16, 2012, 12:55:53 PM »

THANK YOU for your continuing support of PNW SpringMeet.

Please place the sticker included PRE-REG PACK on your windshield drivers side upper corner so we know you’re pre-registered and follow the pre-registered signs to bypass folks.

If you cannot fit all your vehicles in the swap spot assigned, you will need to pay an additional parking fee of $5, or upgrade to 2 swap spots for an additional $10.

Main Entrance will be for general parking, and will ONLY be open at 11am for the public

Car show, clubs, and cars for sale will be using the entrance off SE 24th street; this is easiest way to floors one and two of the parking garage.

Swappers and vendors will use the 142nd PL SE entrance.

If your coming to town early (Sat) Come have a brew with us and let preview some rusty or sexy aircooleds
