parking @ 9:30

[jl]

At the risk of  everyone saying -- I told you so-- I just want to highly recommend parking at the 9:30 club pay lot. I was previously always comfortable finding nearby street parking, but during Thursday's moby show our car was broken into-- front window smashed, items stolen from trunk... not worth it. When the police arrived, he just looked at us and said, "you guys were at the 9:30 club, right?"

I'm just wondering...was the cost of the damage to your car and whatever was stolen cost more than the $9 parking fee. (taking into consideration tickets.scams pound of flesh)
 
 Bet you'll pay Seth his protection money next time.....huh?
 
 BTW, if it was my club I would have free parking on a first come first served basis to encourage folk to show up early and pay my extremely overpriced beer prices....while giving exposure to the support bands at the same time.

So parking revenue is the fine line between black and red of our beloved club?

yeah, unfortunately the cost of the stolen stuff was more... the window cost $250 to repair (insurance didn't cover). All credit cards were cancelled, so hopefully that will not be a problem. But, text books were also missing... about $100 for those.

Out of curiosity, did you put a purse, wallet, or something like that, in your trunk after you parked your car?

So you actually left your credit cards in the car?  Hope your Street-Smarts 101 textbook wasn't taken......You're gonna need that one.

O Professor Of The Streets, would it have been better to carry the credit cards on your person and risk dropping them in the crowd or getting them taken by a mugger? since the car itself is worth around at least $10,000 adding a couple credit cards into the mix (which are protected against fraud) doesn't seem like a big leap.
 
 And its not like the 9:30 lot is that different from parking on the street...the club assumes no liability. I found one of my headlights smashed after a show, having parked in the lot. The attendant didn't give a shit and neither did employees at the club. Needless to say I haven't parked in the club lot since and haven't had any problems.

No, it would have been better to just leave them at home, since they apparently weren't needed.
 
 Drop them in the crowd?  Do you just carry them in your hands all night?

I guess I should be more careful with my briefcases full of twenty dollar bills when I park around there for shows now.

Good point, Meow-mix.  Next time I go someplace at night I think I'll leave my credit cards, hell...my whole wallet maybe even my keys in the car.  Oh wait.....that's what POCKETS are for.

you people with your nice cars worth all that overpriced money.  i drive my beat up ride with cans and trash on the floor board (to blend in with the street) and a george jones cd on the seat.  that keeps those hoodies away from my vehicle every time.  everything in this world comprises nothing more than the outside appearance.
