WTF?!

Prompted by [livejournal.com profile] otterpop58's note about the upcoming DC rodeo, I went to the ASGRA web site to see if I can order tickets yet. Alas, no, but what really caught my eye was the following:

"NOTICE: The fairgrounds will be charging a $10.00 parking fee. This fee is not included in the cost of your rodeo ticket and is outside the control of ASGRA."

The fairgrounds are 12 miles from my door and there isn't public transit between home & there. I suppose I could kill a couple of extra hours to drive or take public transit into downtown DC, then hop the ASGRA-provided shuttle bus back out to the suburbs --past our own house-- to the fairgrounds. Or I could hope for a parking space somewhere along Rockville Pike outside the fairgrounds. More likely, however, is that I'll simply skip the ticket package and pay at the gate for the Saturday events only, skipping Sunday's events.

On the good side, I've found out about this now instead of at the gate in September.
