Dang, I'd like to go, and I'm local (Alexandria VA). Unfortunately, I need to get back out to Fairfax VA by 6:30 that night. Anyone who's driven the Beltway during rush hour knows that that would be a formidable task. Frankly, Gillian, you'd have an easier time getting here from Olympia and back in the same amount of time.
