ChanteyLass, if you get to Daniel Street (The Press Room) around 3:30-ish on Friday (when I try to get there), there's a pretty good chance you can find a parking spot nearby. If I don't find one first time 'round, I turn right on Penhallow at the Federal Bldg. (across from the Press Room), then turn right on Bow St., and bear right (you have no choice) onto Chapel and you'll find yourself again at Daniel St. All one ways. I sometimes have to go around a couple times, but, the time from, say 3-4 is a good time to snag a parking spot. On Saturday I find that I seldom have trouble -- I get there between 2:30 and 3:00 for the 3:30 start and catch a bit of the jazz. I've got a handicapped placard so I don't have to worry about it, but I can go out instead of you (or find someone more agile and energetic than either of us) to go out and "feed the meter" (which, of course, if it's on Daniel means the kiosk for a paper ticket -- though not on Penhallow, which has meters which use quarters). Hours between which you have to pay for parking (on street) are 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Monday thru Saturday. There's also a shuttle bus, but the drop off spot is at the parking garage.
