To start the check in process is what created the whole mind set for the rest of the evening....I turned in the backside fronting the rush tower and was approached by a woman that asked the following..are you a guest? Yes can I see your room key? I don't have it I will be checking in now. Ok right now you can park elsewhere until I see a room key I can let you in....maybe tomorrow there might be room? Wtheck? Ok so instead I valet parked at the Cal and walked over to check in. I swear the line snaked way passed the ropes passed the poles and it seemed endless.
