Yeah, carpooling is a good idea, with those prices. I'm looking into alternative places to park, or taking some other sort of transit there. I'd arrange to meet you guys there, but this weekend is the only weekend I can go, I think. Hmmmm. Oh, but I ALSO have the cheap weeknight admission coupons, which would be _great_ if I wasn't working well into the evening on a plurality of days in the next few weeks....

I keep forgetting you're up there now. We should definitely talk, even if we can't go together, because we should connect somehow nonetheless.
