    How's that "Arizona heat" treating you?
    I'm guessing you are pleasantly suprised with the Arizona's diversity when it comes to terrain and climates.

    After a day and a half here in Arizona with Hotel Tacoma it's clear what this is. This isn't about the Tacoma. This is about the get out there and have fun life style. To my knowledge TW is THE ONLY Forum represented here. There are actors, models, jounalists, surfers, X Games athletes, aspiring actors, bloggers, vloggers and outdoor enthusiasts. Toyota bought and paid for this for everyone! This isn't a review of the new Tacoma, this is an opportunity to get out and have fun with every walk of life centered around the Tacoma. There is minimal structure to the event and the schedule is pretty loose. You want to do something, go for it. If not, sit in front of the fire and socialize with those around you. There's no "you need to be here, you need to be there" schedule.

    This event is the realization of Toyota's Play Now ad campaign!

    I think theyre trying to. They missed an awesome dinner tonight though!

    the winds are keeping things in check. Currently huddled by the fire.

    I'm good. My pride is hurt worse than my knee :oops:

    I think the only upsetting thing would be the fact that you can't walk up to anyone there and talk about a Tacoma because not everyone there owns one obviously... Not like a huge TW meet where you can walk up to even the guy with a stock truck and talk to him about stuff cause he atleast understands it.

    do, we aren't talking about the Tacoma's but what is cool is we are the only ones here from a forum and when people hear it they ask a lot of questions. I'm talking to Andy bell and telling him about this site. It's pretty damn cool

    But that's the beauty of this site, we get to schedule and plan our own meets where we can talk Tacomas all day/night long :woot:


    ......except we have to finance it ourselves :pout: lol

    Unwrap your mind from that thought process. Take what you love. Add a lot of what others love. Mix them together and see what happens. That is this event. People with a love for life, outdoors, motor sports and trucks getting together. Andy Bell is here, he's the driver behind the TRD Pro commercials we drool over here.

    This event takes any TW meet you could possibly imagine and takes it to 11.

    A Toyota production engineer is here and I had the privilege of talking to him.

    @tcBob. Thank you for the opportunity to represent TW at this fantastic event! TW is the only forum represented here and we've met several people who are very appreciative of TW. I was surprised to know that even Toyota was expecting us here, we have talked quite a bit.

    This whole event is the only official communication there has ever really been between us and Toyota, so I'm happy (and surprised!) they were expecting us there as well.
