Drove to the convention center, about 15 miles, and got to the area around 11:45. Traffic is absurd. More police and blocked streets than I've seen in a long time. The traffic line to get to the first possible light to turn left and enter the line for the parking lot, was at least 3 city blocks long and crawling. By the time I got to the entry for the lot, guess what - "lot full." They were directing people to lots miles away at best. Being a senior citizen, I'm just not up to that kind of walk. So.......after spending about an hour in line just to get to the parking lot, I changed lanes and went home. I wanted to go to show my support so that they would hold additional conventions here. I guess they got their show of support without me.
Maybe, if I can re-muster my excitement tomorrow, I'll try Uber. We'll see.
To those that made it in, hope you had a good time. Sorry I missed it.
