Not to start trouble here, but it seems that the cavers who live in TAG refer to the cave in as "TAG." I can't even count how many times I've been asked if I'm "coming to TAG this year," and they mean the cave-in. It was a bit disconcerting the first time I heard it, as I concur with you -- to me, TAG is the place, not the event -- but this is very common usage amongst TAG cavers and as such would be hard to really criticize.

I know what the proper term is. I'm a busy man and I don't feel like saying "You going to the TAG Fall Cave-IN" hundreds of times. Every time I even type all that out, valuable seconds of my time are lost and cannot be regained. I might just start saying "are you going this year?" just for the sake of expediency. (y'all better know I'm joking)
On a similar note: SERA.... is it SEE-RAH, or SE-RAH? I think it should be SEE-RAH. It's more fun to say.
