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.

I had the same luck. Drove around the convention center trying to find parking for around 45 minutes, and the police were no help. They had blocked off every entrance to the multiple parking lots I tried and were directing everyone away from the center. I went home.
