Jan, Thanks so much for your help. I was wondering a little bit about all the steps involved in me sending my license plate # and email address, Hanzi doing the buying, then mailing me the certificate for me to print, me getting $5 into his hands somewhere along the way, etc. so I did call the Parking office directly. They were extremely helpful and were happy to provide the department code. It's 6800 for the Science Center. So I was able to register and buy my permit and am all set now. Thanks again very much for your (and Hanzi's) willingness to help. This way is probably a little easier for everyone all the way around.
Anyone can use this code online to buy the one evening permit and print it out themselves. I actually picked the Broadway St Garage as being slightly closer to the Science Center. Looking forward to Larry's talk tonight. I only wish I could go to the one at MIT tomorrow, too. I'd be *very* interested in a comparison of the audiences and their reactions in the two locations.
