Cruiser,
Your story reminds me of my last trip to DL. We drove down from SF with no problems, but when we parked on the 5th (? - I think Donald) floor of the DLR parking complex, we noticed that the front drivers side tire was a little low. No problem. We were staying close by, so we figured we'd get air after we left the park. We decided to split before closing to beat the crowds, and when we returned to the car we found the tire to be absolutely flat. I didn't want to put on the spare (it's a temporary donut), so I called AAA (my cell was charged) and asked them if they thought it was ok if we drove a couple of blocks to the gas station. They say "no way" and told us they'd send over a truck to fill the tire.
So while we're waiting for the guy to arrive, the fireworks start.
If you have never hung out in the parking structure during the DL fireworks, it is a "hidden treasure" not to be missed. The sheer sonic force of the explosions caused hundreds of car alarms to go off at once. Over and over, for what felt like an eternity, the building shook and cars screamed. Absolutely incredible.
...oh, and the car got fixed and we went to our hotel and slept.
SYRS,
Jesse
