I actually am not personally driving down to VA - I'm carpooling with the PA cohort, and I'd ask you along but we're already a car-full!

Are you friends with frau_elsebeth on here, though? She lives about an hour north of me and I *believe* she's going to Jenny-Rose's party as well, & she might be up for carpooling. (She's Adriennne Ruth in the Fabulosity club FB group, too...since I know she's not on LJ every day, like some people! By which I mean, me.) Because I hear you on the train ticket price...trains are crazy expensive!
