As much as I'd like to attend LCC at least once, as usual this one is just
too far of a trip. Part of it is not caring for long drives (especially
since I travel a lot for work, ~21000 mi on my 10 month old car which
doesn't count driving rentals), and squeezing this into an otherwise busy
schedule. I guess I'm holding out until they have one in Nashville,
Atlanta, Cincinnati or Louisville where the trip is about 4 hours or less.

But with fuel prices almost back down to reality, driving may be cheaper.
