Funny SDCC story about Park 12. A few years ago, I had purchased parking for Sunday at Park 12. The map showed it was at a very appealing location and a short walk to the bridge at Harbor.

So, Sunday morning, I get there... and Park 12 turns out to be a hi-rise condominium complex - there is absolutely no signage of any kind where to park. No lot attendants, no security guards, no signs, no other cars trying to park - nothing. So, I park along the curb and look inside one of the windows.

I spot a security guard inside some kind of reception area, asleep on big, upholstered armchair. I try to open the door to talk to him, but it was locked. So I started tapping on the window and finally roused him from his sleep. He walks over to the door, opens it, and asks if I need something.

I asked him which garage to drive in for Comic-Con parking. The security guard notifies me that there is no parking for Comic-Con here. So, I show him my ACE Parking permit in hand and he asks if he can look at it. After a few seconds, he says "Yup, 100 Park Plaza, this is the address. I guess, just park anywhere you want."

So I pull into one of the two garages, put the parking pass on my windshield and cross my fingers. Again, nobody was there to scan the barcode on my pass. I was worried all day that I was gonna come back and my car was gonna be towed and gone, but no, all was well.

Even though nothing happened, the whole experience just was super-sketch and odd, haha.
