Just as a quick update were %99 moving it to OCTOBER 21st and 22nd , due to a rather large Jewish holiday happening on October 7th. Locations are still being negotiated as we speak, with a possibility of it moving closer to DC!!

obviously all the important information will be communicated in a timely manner , thanks everyone :)

I live in Richmond and work in NOVA/DC. I do the drive every day, and folks, it ain't all that far.
The worst part of the drive is the :evil:traffic:evil: in Northern Virginia. I-95 becomes a linear parking lot from all the volume. As a general rule, from the Beltway to Dumfries in the afternoon sucks big ones. Especially Dumfries where the HOV ends and all those people who don't know how are actually expected to merge back onto I-95. Typically gets better till you approach Exit 130 in Fredericksburg, but after that it's pretty much smooth sailing ( although, avoid the right hand lane until you pass Exit 126, the off ramp tends to back up there). Not long after that, the new 70MPH speed limit kicks in and you'll be in Richmond in less than an hour (unless NASCAR is going on, then all bets are off). Over 80 is still a Reckless Driving offense if you're caught, so be careful!
As a bonus incentive for any of you 'coaster fanatics out there, you'll be passing right by King's Dominion on your way down.
The time of day makes all the difference between 1.5 to 2 hour drive and a 5 hour ordeal.

Damn, I started this "novel" hoping to make it not seem so bad. Not sure if that's the case:blush:
