[PLUG] parking at/near OSCON

[C W]

Lloyd Center & MAX looks worth a try.  If I can find out when the Lloyd
Center parking lot is closed at night (probably about a half hour after the
mall closes), then that might work.

Otherwise, I could probably move my car at roughly 19:00 (whenever the
street parking meters stop) from mall parking to nearby on-the-street
parking, or on-the-street parking by the convention center.

Thanks for all the help, folks.  Much appreciated.  I enjoy challenges of
this sort.

Cheers,
Elcaset
