National Occupy gathering / Ride to/from Philly

I will be driving from Southern California to the national Occupy gathering (06/30/12 through 07/04/12) in Philadelphia (and back) -- where I will give a couple of presentations, etc. -- and need passenger/s (either way or both).  Typical driving time in my vehicle (high m.p.g. subcompact Geo Metro) = 60 hours each way.  Prefer to depart sometime Saturday / Sunday / Monday (i.e., 06-23to25/12, the earlier the better)
Absolutely no smoking in car!

I can consider detour before / after to Montreal to observe / join in the giant student protests there as well as stopovers (at other Occupy sites or even tourist traps) en route either way as well as staying for part or all of the the 99 mile Philly-to-WallStreet Occupy "march" which starts just after the convention / gathering. 

Please contact me (Barry) via cell phone (323/494-8065) or EMail (geneseovian@yahoo.com)

Would join you but we have a monster to tackle in the TPP, and it's getting frustrating  not only seeing people leave to Philly but the overall Occupy movement NOT picking up on this agreement that will be affecting the 99% in favor of the 1%multi-rich corporations, Wall Street, and the banksters they are figthing against.

I'm aware that the Philly thing was planned 6 months ago (TPP was kept secret and just announced a month ago) ago but is only now serving as a distraction from the real fight taking place in the US. Here is a chance for Occupy to make a change and instead they are going on a picnic. At least an acknowledgement or endorsement of our events would be proper.
