Ask and you shall receive!

There is a mischievous little twinkle in my eye right now as I'm wondering what I should ask for.

Yeah, like shipping the lot of you all to the Northwest...

OK.  I have settled upon that which I need to ask.

I received a green light from my husband and 4H club to attend.

Right now I'm looking at two tickets.  The first would get me into Chicago, Midway, as early as 9:10 AM on Friday, though it could be later.  My flight out would be Saturday night, also Midway, at 8:45 PM, which would mean leaving the conference right as it ended at 5 PM.  Would anyone be going past Midway at these times and be able to give me a ride?

The second ticket would get me into Indianapolis late on Thursday night, thus I would be available all day on Friday.  I would get my flight out of Indianapolis very early on Sunday, so I could get back to Indianapolis any time on Saturday.  I would just find some cheap hotel/motel where I could be picked up and dropped off.  Would anyone be going past Indianapolis at these times and be able to give me a ride?

I would happily cover the cost of gas.  I can pack as little as you need me to, if you don't have a lot of luggage room.

Please, send me a PM if this would work, and the idea of giving a stranger a ride doesn't cause you to shiver.

ETA:  I left out the part about how ecstatic I am.

I'm confused... is it possible to register for the conference yet?

Thanks to those organizing everything!

Not yet, but any day now.

If we promise to be really really good and are willing to drive over nine hours to get there can you fit in 150 people? Cuz, I'm hopin for a spot.

There are a few of us meeting in Indy, and getting one from that airport as well, so that might be a possibility, although I'm not sure about exact travel times yet.

I'm sorry to stir up confusion with my question and ask forgiveness. As has been answered, the registration is not yet opened. I did not mean to convey it was a foreordained conclusion I would be able to go, as I know the original plan is to have a lottery if more people register than for whom there is room. However, there is some logistics involved in my traveling that I would need to act on rather quickly depending on the turn-around for registration, and I wanted to try to have the pieces in place ahead of time if it turned out I was selected.
