In 1984, for my 17th birthday, I got a new stereo-with a cassette player-for my car. Up until that point, my 1973 Volkswagen Beetle (aka the Mishmobile) boasted a boom box on the front seat. (And “air conditioning” was really just the vent windows pointed inward, so as to the get the strongest breeze into the car. But I digress.)
The first cassette tape I bought-with much excitement-was Midnight Star’s No Parking on the Dance Floor. Who knew that nearly 32 years later, I’d be working for the International Parking Institute?!
In my position at IPI, I work on the team that puts together a little annual event-you may have heard of it-the IPI Conference & Expo! In fact, I’m in New Orleans now to make sure everything is ready for your arrival this weekend.
I am very excited about the Opening Welcome Event: Mardi Gras Madness. I won’t spoil the surprises we have in store for you on Sunday night, but I can tell you there WILL be a dance floor. So make sure you don’t get a ticket!
No parking, baby
No parking on the dance floor!
