hehe, there is no need. I actually got to ballard, drove around the area a couple of times, couldn't find a close enough parking spot, so I am back already

.... wouldn't have much time left to spend in the meet anyway. Traffic was awful on the 50th/46th/Market, I should have taken the 80th and down 15th (that was the way I took to get back).
Good thing I found out the flat tire thing today, or it would mess up my Monday work schedule really badly

Have fun
