I think some people shy away from spending time downtown because they think there is no parking available.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Well, maybe the kind of parking available in suburbia where you step out of your car, take a few steps and you can walk into your destination isn't widely available, but there is certainly plenty of places downtown to store your wheels.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/SIjhACe-DtI/AAAAAAAAASE/7To5yFAcZOE/s1600-h/DfestParking.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 535px; height: 370px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/SIjhACe-DtI/AAAAAAAAASE/7To5yFAcZOE/s400/DfestParking.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226674758346477266" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Source: Tulsa Police Department.

Dfest officials estimate about 60,000 will show up downtown for some music this weekend, and 60,000 music fans can't be wrong.<br /><br />You can still buy two-day passes for $30, which is next to nothing to pay for the <a href="http://www.dfest.net/music.aspx">level of entertainment</a> that will be available during the course of the weekend. If you wait until the day of the event (starts tomorrow, gates open at 4, with first shows at 6), you'll have to shell out $40.<br /><br />How often can you pay for an entire weekend's worth of entertainment for less than the price of a tank of gas? Especially entertainment that rocks.
