Luck my ass. That was the direct result of two hardcore obsessive neurotics.
1) First Bill and I tried to bring the car to the show two days early.
-That didn't work.
2) Then we strategically placed the car across the street from the convention center so we could pounce if the call came to bring the car in.
-Still one day early. We didn't know what the heck was going on.
3) Then we (Mary and I, this time) went to the show office all freaked out.
-They told us to take the car away and wait on line for paperwork.
4) Finally--on the right day--we ignored the explicit instructions to wait across the street from the convention center. I drove right past the security guards (waving--Hi, how are ya?) and parked the car right in front of the main entrance to the convention center. We then called Tyler and Chris who actually know how to follow instructions and told them to do the same with their car. "Dude, just drive right past those security guards and park behind us. They're clueless"
-That worked! First in line, baby.
We acted like a complete nutbars. But it worked. They put us right next to the convention center's main entrance doors.
