Anyone riding a bike to NAHBS this weekend?

Since I don't want to pay for parking, nor do I want to deal with drunk idiots for all the St. Patty's festivities Saturday, I'm planning on parking at my work a few miles away and riding my grocery bike the rest of the way.

What's the bike rack situation like in the area?  I'm not terribly familiar with uptown and need something I use my U-Lock with.  Don't care if I have to walk a little bit but I'd rather not walk the 3+ miles from my work.  Do the BikeShare stations have public racks for regular bikes?

I hear there will be a bike valet on the College St side of the Convention Center.

Saw that late last night after posting this. Apparently there are temporary racks set up too but didn't look terribly secure.  A few people have been posting updates on the weekly rides facebook

Sounds like volunteers will watch the bikes.  No guarantees, but sounds good.

From Facebook:

"Seriously, they have volunteers to watch the bikes but I am not providing anything other than the racks and can not say what their actual plan or liability will be. These are temporary free standing racks so they are not thief proof. Buyer beware."
