So I've discovered that this story is one of those in which you just had to be there but since I've said to stay tuned for it - I guess I should follow through and write about it. So, here goes.
When you go to a basketball game for Creighton they make you park in the Qwest parking lot and pay $6! You can also go to the Hilton and park there for $5 when you enter and then when you leave, the attendant is usually gone and they just leave the gate up so you can just leave.
Well, we were going to a basketball game and decided to park in the Hilton. We got to the window and instead of being the honest person I am and telling the attendant I was going to the game I lied and told him I had a room there. He said "okay, that's all I need to know!" and lifted the gate up... SCORE i thought! FREE parking!
Well not so fast... after the game we go back and the guy is STILL there! CRAP! If you know me at ALL - I freak out... a lot... so as soon as I saw the same booth attendant and of course after making eye contact and leaving with everyone else who was leaving after the game... I start to try and figure out an alternate plan. I look for all exits in the garage... no good.. they're all blocked off. Time for plan C. I'm still freaking out and my friends are just getting annoyed because they think of COURSE the guy won't remember me! Well, I take no chances so I take off my coat (it didnt help I was wearing a huge white one), put my hair in a ponytail and put my glasses on. I figure if I'm incognito - he won't know! So we drive up and I don't roll down my window, I just look straight ahead and I see him go "Oh yes! The one with the room here! Go on ahead! " and lifts the gate for us.
Can you freakin' believe it? Now I feel really bad for lying AND getting away with it!
Oh well. Long Live the Hilton Parking Garage! :)
