going to Darkover (SF con)?

[cellio]

This is a longshot. I welcome suggestions for better places to post this.

If you are going to the Darkover SF con on Thanksgiving weekend and are in or will pass through Pittsburgh, and you might have room for a passenger and musical instruments to be negotiated, would you let me know? I can drive and will if I have to, but if I can save myself the hassle, I'd like to. I'll pay for gas, tolls, and lunch if I don't have to do any driving.

For one brief, exciting moment, I thought you would be in San Francisco during Thanksgiving, and could stop by to worship at the Temple of Butterfly and Nutmeg (and eat mommy's cooking.) *Sigh* Oh, well.

Say "hi" to the trio of angels at your house for me.

I'm willing to pick you up at any of the local airports if you want to try flying instead of driving.

That won't help with the instruments, but perhaps it is easier to get a ride for stuff.

Oh, whoops. Sorry, Butterfly -- science fiction, not San Francisco. :-)

If I could find something more local that would be better; most of the readers of that community don't live in the northeast and/or aren't going to Darkover, after all. I don't want to be like the people who post to the AEthelmearc list asking "does anyone know if we're having archery tonight?". :-)

Thanks! I hadn't considered flying (checked buses; times sucked; punted), but I'll look into it. I can presumably send the dulcimer with Robert and Kathy when they drive down on Wednesday, and I might even be able to get a ride back with them, so that reduces the problem to a one-way flight.
