“Is there something that I can drive up for that will not cost me anything? I don’t have a spare $1000 for the whole crew for the weekend. A day trip up is fine but if I can not enjoy any of the FReeper events we will probably not drive up that day.”
I don’t know how long a drive it would be for you to DC, but if it isn’t too long you could come for the Tea Party events during the day and also the Saturday evening Convention Banquet. However, when the banquet is over it would mean driving home in the dark. Hope the drive is not too long and that you could at least attend the banquet. :)
