That is funny because gmtm and Smoothie and I were talking about going to this game last night. Last summer was easy because I was working in DC. I am working in Richmond this summer but I def want to get up there for that game. I am pretty sure that I will get there.

He told me today that he has been so busy recruiting that he has not even thought about it. I will check with him next week. Brian Woodson is going to go though. He is still around but will be headed back over seas to ball in Europe in Sept I believe.

BJ, I will be leaving straight from Richmond. It is a work night (Tuesday) so I will be leaving straight from work that evening. I hope traffic is not too bad so I can get there in a reasonable amount of time.

Here is the promised info on getting into town.
You can drive into the District, but in my opinion, you may be better off taking the subway into town. Here are directions if you want to do that. Interstate 66 from Lynchburg brings you into Constitution Avenue and then to 6 or 7th streets to the Verizon Center. From Richmons, it is a trip from 95 to I-395 wich drops you off at Constitution Avenue near the US Capitol.
From Richmond. Take 95 North to the Franconia Springfield Metro station. From there, take the blue line to the Metro Center station and transfer to a Red line train towards Glenmont one stop to the Gallery Place Station.
From Lynchburg, take Route 29 north to I66 Eastbound. Take I 66 until you see the Vienna Metro station. From there, you can take the orange line train to Metro Center and then one stop over to Gallery Place.
If you do plan on taking Metro, be sure that at least one person in your car has a SmartTrip card. This is a credit card like hard plastic card that allows you to pay for parking and train fare. The parking lots do not accept cash or credit cards, so this card is the way to go.
One final piece of information, for good traffic information WTOP FM on 103.5 does traffic reports every 10 minutes. Oh, the subway website is
www.wmata.com
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me and I will get right back to ya.
