Was going to attend Maker Faire until I scoured the internet to find out that San Mateo County gouge for parking on top of already overpriced event tickets. It's notably a detail missing from all the event info as well as from the event center website. Very deceptive and with no alternative free parking in this den of civil enforcement, and I'll be boycotting this one thank you very much. My orders from the SO were to find a fine restaurant and then my day out would have been authorized - so I save on two fronts and $an mateo and their local businesses lose twice since downtown also has no free parking till after 6pm. $an mateo appears to be just a visitor unfriendly as san francisco with it's 24/7/365 parking meters - I'd have to blowout a tire or pop a kidney stone before I'd stop in either place.
