It just occurred to me, what are we going to do about parking with all these people coming?

This is the satellite view of the venue. You can show this to your parents, just have them click on the yellow line on S Salina street and Borden Street Intersection, there they can view a street eye level image of the area, as well as just viewing the regular satellite image of the area. It's not that bad.
There will be other parents there, and most of us syracuse smashers are pretty nice people. You should get into contact with 13370 because his dad comes to our smashfest every weekend, and he knows that we are good people. I'm sure his dad can give your parents a good reference.

See, there is even a wonder bread truck at the end of the road. LOL
