NWN Presents The Northwests Biggest Meet "Golden Gardens 2007"

No traffic lights, left turns at intersections, or crossing major streets. There's 2 spots I'd worry about getting split up with your directions. 1 is pulling out of the mall on to Northgate Way which is tough, whether you pull out onto 5th or 1st and then make the Left onto Northgate Way. The other is depending on how long the light stays green when crossing Aurora, and how many people in the caravan drive like old Asian ladies 
All of this may not matter though, since it's fairly early on a Sunday morning. Overall I think your directions make sense, and are probably the one we should go wit

My suggestion is that we use 2 (or more) radios w/ decent range or our phones; one for the lead car, one for the car bringing up the rear. We cruise to 32nd Ave NW and the lead car (and all cars behind him) pulls over to wait until he get's the O.K. from the car bring up the rear after passing 28th Ave (last stop light?). While waiting, anyone that wants to go down further down the hill to take pics as we drive by or video can do so.
We can even go as far as using a car to block traffic (corner of 32nd Pl & Loyal Way NW) so that no one interrupts the procession.
Or... the lead car can just drive to GG REALLY slow. That should give the guys at the end the opportunity to catch up. However it won't prevent other motorists from interrupting the line.
Not having been to the NWN meet before; I'm guessing we'll be parking at the north most section of the parking lot near the bathrooms, basketball court and turn-around at the end. If I remember correctly, that only holds around 150-200 cars. Can anyone verify this? Might be tough finding 30 spots next to each other. Can we RSVP?

The north ends full up very early. It was LARGE, worth a walk around with the camera but it will have some crazies too! If you have stuff for sale it's part garage sale also.
We can be snobs and go have lunch in a large group, a couple years ago we parked below the Red Robin @ Northgate. We were able to take pictures down on the group of cars from there.

I say we talk to the organizer and RSVP at least 20 spots for my350z.com. If they can see our post they'll know we're showing up BIG and reserve us some spaces!
Also here's here suggestion
Golden Garden AFTER-PARTY! Let's all go to lunch and I'll be willing to set up a nice cruise/reservation/etc for us if we can get some interest. I know good cruising locations. I'm thinking up I-5 then merge to I-90 to go across the bridge and to a restaurant in the eastside (nice part of town to roll your Z in)
Whose in?!

^ Dude, you make the BEST MAPS!
I think we should set some groud rules. As much as I LUV getting a little nuts behind the wheel. We should really be mindful of our surroundings and the consequences of our actions. We'll be traveling through an urban residential area, and what's worse is it's "rich" residential which means the cops will be there faster than you can say "But officer... it wasn't me, it was that other Z." I think I read somewhere that last year there were a few citations handed out by cops. I think local law enforcement might be a little more critical about our presence there so it's best not to attract any unwanted attention.

Id
maybe we should try putting on nametags to identify each other... might be nice to finally find out who's who...
place ID tag here...
for example...
and use this as template

Definitely watch what you do. NWN doesn't accept stupid actions like burnouts or drifting at their meets. Cops will prob be around since they prob know about this event ahead of time. Even if they don't, they are bound to pay attention when they see all these modified cars running around the area. So be careful.
At the same time, we need to stay in a tight group, make sure you're paying attention at lights and turns at intersections so we can get everyone through. Don't be that guy...

Golden Gardens is a Public Park and we can't reserve any spaces, if you want to park in a group (which I love to see) get there early and stake your claim in the lot.
Oh and stay for lunch guys, burgers and dogs!
The police always treat us pretty well, the real kings of the park are the maintenance guys. Don't make a mess around the garbage cans and they will stay cool.
I will post your list on ours!
Lastly, check out the updates!
