I'm driving up to the Con on Wednesday and back on Sunday. I'm in the Vienna/Fairfax area of VA. I can travel a little bit south (Manassas is about as far as I'll go in that direction) but would prefer to pick someone up who's more on the way/in the direction of the con. I am not driving into DC/inside the Beltway to pick anyone up; you can take the Metro and we'll pick you up at the Vienna Metro. Planned route is 495 inner loop, 270 north, 70 west to Pittsburgh. I've got a medium-sized SUV, and I figure we can fit 3 people comfortably, 4 people if we cram (mainly an issue of who brings how much stuff). Since I've already got a friend coming with me who has shotgun for the duration, if there's two people who want to ride with us and are cool with being a bit cramped in the back seat then we can take two people.

If you absolutely cannot stand drum 'n bass, techno, or heavy metal, you are strongly advised to bring earplugs or find another ride.

I get a little less than 20 mpg, and I think I've got a 14 or 16 gallon tank. So we'll make it there and back on about 2 tanks. Filling up should cost 50-60 bucks each time (depends on gas prices). I think parking is less than 10 bucks a night. So it'll probably end up at 150 bucks overall, or 50 bucks per person if split 3 ways. I can't say what the cost will be for certain as gas prices may drastically change between now and then. The ability to read a map is a plus. You will probably not be required to drive. Post here with your contact info, email me at -com, or IM me at kitwulfen (AIM).

I tried to extend my reservations a while back and was unable to. It's fine for us, though, we found someone who'll ride up with us. If you're in search of a ride, good luck and such.
