Good thing I got here early seems the premium parking spots are almost full. Oversell much?

[Jeff Ream 16,821]

Parking is a ckuster. Paying for premium parking gets you routed to a grass field.

I got here early just because I didn't know the parking situation. Glad I did now.

I got directed to an almost empty parking lot right by the entrance... lots of parking. Are you sure you told them you have premium parking?

And second... hearing about the parking situation, I'm glad we're getting there really early tomorrow for the alumni show.  LOL.
