Less than $14 to park at the convention center or next door at the Hilton is a steal. I have done this the last two years and just placed my order for this year. It's really a great deal considering farther lots (PETCO, etc.) are $25-30.

Actually, it's incredibly useful to have storage on site. You don't have to carry books around all day, just time for whatever signings you want to get. And it's a quiet place to eat and take a break. Security is really good too.
I love parking in the convention center garage, but it sold out too fast for me and I have to park at the hotel this year. No biggie, when I showed up at their garage last year for preview night in my big assed truck they gave me a spot right up front.

What's BS is that you can't park overnight. Which is so stupid if you buy 4 days worth of parking passes, which I almost did till I read the fine print.
So now I'm flying out instead of driving.
After getting the run around from some friends that are/were planning to go, I finally got my hotel and airfare set, including free frequent flyer 1st class tix. woot! Is it time to get in a ridiculously long line yet?
I just mean by being able to use my truck to store things when I don't need them. Like drop things off that I've bought or grab items that I need to get signed. I drive to SD and stay far away from the con so it's really convenient to park so close and have quick access. Especially for fragile items and artwork that I don't want to get bumped around on the show floor.

What if your not registered? Are they allowing walk ins? Like is there a ticket for a day pass?

I was surprised when you posted that you were flying out this year, Scott. I assume you're staying at the Gas Lamp so you don't need a car. I did that last year and it was GREAT but unfortunately, I'm not doing that this year.
Yeah, it would be nice if Ace offered over-night parking but at least they won't cite/tow you if you stay 'til 2 a.m. -- at least that has been my experience.
You can always opt to pay for overnight parking at a hotel as a non-guest but that'll cost you $32 or so a day.
Just like exodus, I too use my car to take breaks from the hustle 'n bustle of the Convention Center. At my age, I need to get a second wind (more like a beer or two) before I fight off the crowds in the Exhibition Hall.

Yup, flying this year, first time. I really like the drive from Phoenix, but after I figure in $4+/gallon, a not necessarily fuel efficient truck using around 2 tanks of gas at $75 a tank, and $70+ in parking fees, it was cheaper to just get a $200 flight, which I used credit card reward points to purchase, so cost me nothing.
Sam and co. was nice enough to invite me to stay with them, so this will be a completely different con experience as I wont have to take the train back and forth to a distant hotel.
I think this will make it four years in a row.

It's like seeing a homeless person looking for a handout on the side of the freeway. Whatever you do, don't make eye contact.
Yeah, flying in and having a nice close place to stay names everything easier. Had made the 7 previous cons easy to deal with.
