Never got to see the show!
by ltmbym on 10/7/13Greek Theatre - Los AngelesUnfortunately, the days of abandoning all obligations and blindly following the Grateful Dead (or various off-shoots of said band) are long since over. And like it or not, life has produced responsibilities (i.e. children to care for) that require certain "adjustments" to otherwise routine situations. We assumed that we would be faced with an option (and yes, we were willing to even pay the disgustingly elevated $50 fee) to park WITHOUT being "stacked" in, so that we could possibly leave during the encore, relieve the baby-sitter, put the kids to bed, etc. What we found (after "driving" in Friday rush hour traffic for way too long) was that while they DO offer the "pretentious elitist" parking option, it is by reservation only. Unable to commit to getting stuck in a lot all night, we gave our tickets to a nice older man who clearly needed a miracle--at least we received his blessings and good wishes. Later at home we went online, checked the set-list for the show we missed, and made a parking reservation for Saturday night's concert which we DID attend, and enjoyed very much.
