Sounds like an MTV show, no?
Ben and I are organizing a road trip (technically, an air trip) to see Mr. Jennings in St. Loo-ee. I spoke to Brent this evening, and it seems that the weekend of the UGA/Arkansas game works best. Since it's expensive to fly out of Atlanta ($471 round trip), we can get cheaper roundtrip airfare on Southwest ($200+) out of Birmingham (and it's still non-stop). Here's what I found:
Depart Birmingham: FRI 21 OCT at 11:20 a.m.
Arrive St. Louis: 12:35 p.m.
What to do: Tool around with Brent for the weekend and watch the Georgia game on Saturday. Attend church with him on Sunday. We wouldn't be there in time for Friday classes or chapel. I may visit with a professor or admissions counselor in anticipation of one day (possibly) attending seminary.
Depart St. Louis: SUN 6:10 p.m.
Arrive Birmingham: 7:30 p.m.
We could rent a hotel and split the cost because 1) Brent doesn't have enough room for even one of us to crash, and 2) sharing a room wouldn't be that expensive for only 2 nights.
What do y'all think? Can any of you go? Ben and I are almost 100% committed to this date and trip. Don't ask about other flight options: Southwest is cheapest I found, and it only flies one flight each day between Birmingham and St. Louis. Driving is not an option for just a weekend trip.
Suggestions? Commitments? Regrets? Please let us know ASAP so we can lock in travel plans.

Brohams,
I don't believe I will be able to come, due to the fact that I can't take Friday off from work. I am already taking the Friday before GA/FLA off, and since I am new here I can't do too much of that. It sounds like it would be a great trip though. Keep me updated on who is going and stuff. Maybe I can call Brent when y'all are up there.
