We will have official pre-registration this year at a discounted price if you sign up and pay the registration prior to March 30th. There will be on-site registration for our last-minute attendee's :p

We came into this a bit late this year, but everything is moving along smoothly... so far. So bear with us!!!

We are making some changes from the years past that we think you all will really enjoy!! We will post updates in here, on facebook, and on the new official ECG website.

We are also requesting anyone that has pictures from any of the past ECG's, to please contact me, or email me with them, as we would like to add them to the ECG website, so people can browse them easily, without having to sift through google, and old threads on various websites. please email them to 3000gtstealthwarehouse@gmail.com


Thanks!!! And looking forward to seeing everyone in May!!!

[Alan92RTTT]

Make a banner so I can get it into the rotation.

[Emilie@GZP]

okey, I will work on that today :) Thanks!

[Sean Johnson]

650+ miles for us. We will have to see about this. We'll talk over the weekend...

[Hans@GZP]

Hey, we do that to BRG. No excuses. Hard core 3/s gathering attendees :)

[Alan92RTTT]

If I had the time off I'd hit ECG, BRG, NG and UMG

[bridge]

^with Alan oh wait I did the past two years...... Spoiled

[vr4chick]

Booking my room tonight!

[Hans@GZP]

If I had the time off I'd hit ECG, BRG, NG and UMG

Only one we haven't done so far is UMG.

[stealthee]

Only one of those I have done is ECG, and one unincluded one, SEDD and of course 3S PA.

[blackandblu]

be there in yellow or black

[MeTarzan]

Planning on being there this year...Stealthee we should caravan together :D

[my923ksl]

cool, me and the 3sny guys were looking to take over the planning/coordinating of the meet till i saw this. if you guys need help with anything let us know.

[Hans@GZP]

Will do. It just kinda happened so quickly. I texted Craig over the weekend about the gathering and he said he wasn't doing it. So, I wasn't going to let this thing die. I've been going since 2000, so I can figure it all out :). We're hoping to hear back from Hooter's on monday to finalize those major points.

[green-lantern]

ugg 650 miles! I'm going to try and make it though. It would be sweet to do ECG, NG and BRG.

[Emilie@GZP]

Caravan with Sean and Linda :)

[green-lantern]

Caravan with Sean and Linda :)

If I go I will

yeah, we weren't gonna let it go either. i mean the shit takes like 30min worth of calls to set up the hotel, order tropheys and shirts. then get volunteers to count votes and setup tables. i think keeping the meet alive is worth a couple hrs of work ;)

[lat42MS]

Ooo! just saw this on facebook. I wanna go but I'm not sure if I'll have the car back together by then. Are there any events planned?

[Emilie@GZP]

We are hoping to have a tentative schedule set to release early next week :)

You don't need to have a 3/s to come and have a fun time. We brought out Montero down last year, and our f150 and galant vr4 down in years past :)

[hotGTO]

Will definitely be there... New motor going into the stealth as we speak. :)

[JasonY]

I'll be there but w/o a car most likely. Just dont think i'll have it assembled in time. Maybe though....

Jason

[stealthee]

I'm thinking about it. I could use a vacation, but I'm not sure if I want to drive 350 miles in my gas pig of a car. If the Stealth was roadworthy, then it would be a probably definitely.

[Emilie@GZP]

DOO IT BRIAN!!!! :lol:

[Emilie@GZP]

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!!!

http://www.3sgto.org/f2/official-east-coast-gathering-thread-7856.html#post153300

[CoreyB]

Hmm I might be able to make it.

[94VR4NCVA]

Where do we get all the registration info & pricing? What's the price difference on preregistration vs at event?

[DrGonzo]

@Angelo - All of the info is on the website. Click on the registration link, fill in the info and you will be taken to the pricing options for each of the different packages. You are not registered for the event until you have completed the Paypal Transaction. I believe that preregistration will be like $10.00 cheaper than registering at the event. Em could fill you in more on that. I just manage the site I don't deal with any of the planning/cost.

Hell, I don't even know if I'm going to be able to make it to this event.........

[Emilie@GZP]

everything is cheaper to pre-register, and it really helps us keep costs down on products, which in turn helps us keep registration costs down, and really get better pricing over the years (banquet costs, t-shirts, registration packets, etc).

[Nav]

Got my flight booked. It's ECG time! :)

not like we ever have any gatherings like this on the west coast, sadly. :(

[Hans@GZP]

| East Coast Gathering 2012 | (http://www.eastcoastgathering.com) is now an ECG website.... just to make it a bit easier for people to remember :)

[94VR4NCVA]

Is there a space in the hotel parking lot or offsite for a 5th wheel?

[Emilie@GZP]

The trucks with trailers usually park along side of the parking lot on the street. It's a side street, so, there is not much traffic, and plenty of space for a truck and trailer.

[94VR4NCVA]

Cool deal. Just looking at options. How's space & availability at the hotel?

[R/T93]

Its sad, isnt it.
The Portland crew has done stuff in the last year but I know what you mean.

[94VR4NCVA]

Heard there was a "Classics" car show that usually goes on 2 weeks after the ECG. With the meets staying at a stead # of people, has anyone ever considered doing it that weekend too to help popularize our cars and for the vendors to push universal products?

[JasonY]

Wouldnt be enough room for us to even get noticed. Thousands of cars show up for the cruz-in week. Every single vacant parking lot lining the strip is loaded and most hotels full. Its a great idea, but would be a logistical mess.

[tfw a-ok]

Hey Em - Why aren't more people signing up on the official site? I know they are coming so what's up with that?

[DrGonzo]

Most people wait till last min to sign up for the actual event.

Look at BRG2012 for example. We have run out of rooms/cabins at the lodge but not many have signed up on the actual site. Same thing happens every year......

[daerdevil_1987]

I wish i can come , I'm still fixing the car :/ its still a 10 hour drive but who cars :P

[Emilie@GZP]

Hey Em - Why aren't more people signing up on the official site? I know they are coming so what's up with that?

There are a lot more rooms booked, than people registered. Not sure why. I am not listed on the registry yet, hut Hans and I will be there, one of our techs will also be there... I have started getting more registrations filtering in the last few days. I can't update the threads over on 3si, so, I am sure that doesn't help either.

[DrGonzo]

@Em... Let me know what you need to have updated over there and I will take care of it.

[MistercVR4]

First time at ECG. I pretty excited normally due to my military obligation I've always seem to be deployed during the spring and summer periods. Almost luck up again.lol. But as I've stated I'm really looking forward to meeting other members. I just hope they have more E85 stations nearby because that's what's my baby is solely tune on.

[JasonY]

There is no e85 anywhere near OC, only one station on the whole penninsula about 3hrs north of OC.

[Ray Pampena]

[hotGTO]

[Nav]

me and bogman will be there either friday afternoon or thursday.

[Emilie@GZP]

The banquet location this year will be Seacrets!! :7Up:

[JohnnyTurbo]

Emilie,

Per our PM, I looked again at the registration details and still do not see an option for a 2 people, one car full monty registration.

[DrGonzo]

When you click on register on the main page, select 2 for attendee's. Then specify a shirt size for each person. Next page will give you the options and the quantity will be 2.

[wingnut]

The Portland crew has done stuff in the last year but I know what you mean.

Indeed, ought just call NG the "other" east coast gathering...

...has it even been west of the mississippi, and St. Louis don't count :poke:

[JohnnyTurbo]

Indeed, ought just call NG the "other" east coast gathering...

...has it even been west of the mississippi :poke:I could be mistaken, but I think it was held in St. Louis once; so technically, yes on the west of the Misssssisssssipppppi.


When you click on register on the main page, select 2 for attendee's. Then specify a shirt size for each person. Next page will give you the options and the quantity will be 2.Thanks DrG, exactly what is the +more for $10 each?

[wingnut]

I could be mistaken, but I think it was held in St. Louis once; so technically, yes on the west of the Misssssisssssipppppi.

LoL, then I fixed my quote for ya :lol:

[JohnnyTurbo]

LoL, then I fixed my quote for ya :lol:Ha! I couldn't resist. Yeah, St Louis might as well be New Jersey to the west coast guys. West of the Mississippi is such a broad term. :smile:

[DrGonzo]

Thanks DrG, exactly what is the +more for $10 each?

Each package has different options and the prices are broken down accordingly. The more items the cheaper the package.

+more was more of a placeholder for the items that are part of the show packages. I wasn't very consistent with the options in that manner du to the time rush to get it up and running. Yes, I built the 3secg site

[JohnnyTurbo]

OK, just made it official and registered the wife and I for the ECG. I got the room last week, but the better part of this week I was in Detroit for a training class, so I figured I'd register tonight. This will be out first non NG 3S event (been to 3 of them 08, 10 & 11).

[Nav]

i think me and bogman will be at vince lombardi friday at 12pm if anyone wants to caravan. or call me 562 212 1133.

Some pics funneling in on the ECG facebook page. We're going to gather up as many pics as possible and upload them to the official ECG site. Once we get the DVD from Seacrets, we will post those pics and the movie as well. Thanks everyone for making this a great ECG!!!
