My (our?) friend Elise is going to be in town at the end of January and is flying back Sunday (I think...) February 5. Before she gets an Amtrak ticket she is wondering if anyone would be driving to Chicago that weekend (Friday 2/3 or Saturday 2/4) that would have room for her. I can't confirm but I'm optimistic that she'd make it worth your while via compensation or conversation. That's all negotiable.
