I have 3 available seats in my car for Awake the State

[Zephie]

I can provide a ride to Awake the State in Tallahassee on March 8th, 2011 to 3 people who live on the west coast of Florida between Sarasota county and the Capitol. I will be taking a direct shot up I-75 to I-10, but can detour for a bit down I-4 for people in east Hillsborough (Sorry Polk but you're just a bit too far out of our way :cry:) or down I-275 for people in Pinellas or west Hillsborough. Please let me know ASAP if you want one of these seats as I need to figure out the trip itinerary and make sure I have enough money set aside for gas and any food expenditure that may occur.

Important: My husband (who is driving) MUST return home on the evening of the 8th. If we need to stay on the Capitol, he will not be remaining. This is, unfortunately for him, a day trip. If the masses are staying for an extended time he will not be able to and will be taking the car home. In that event I intend to stay alone and take a bus home (exciting!), however I cannot pay for anyone who chooses to remain along with me. Please consider this before taking my offer.

Thanks, and I hope to see you at Awake the State even if I cannot provide your ride. :grouphug:

2. How far into polk?

We can see if it's do-able, as long as you don't mind being on the road at about 2am we can see what can be done.

4. Taking the bus you'll get to meet folks who just got out of

the prison-industrial complex.

all over the state on the 8th. Check the Awake the State FB page for updates!

8. UPDATED INFORMATION

My native american indian dog Pandora escaped from the home last night and was struck down by a car. The vets did everything they could to save her but she had to move on to bigger and better places and unfortunately the cost of the bill is going to break the bank. I apologize to anyone who was still considering my offer, but I'm not going to be able to afford the trip after all.
