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.

Can you please keep in contact with Kristinn and Angelwood, and a ‘cc’ to me you be good, concerning the Walter Reed Friday night events. As I’m sure you know, some DC Chapter members have the evening Troop Support Rally every Friday night at the gates. It would be good to know what to expect and to provide any help.
