How do I pick up my inauguration tickets?!?

I was selected to recieve two tickets from my Congressman for the 2009 swearing-in ceremony. I am overwhelmed with joy. However, I am travelling from Alalbama to NYC on Sunday the 18th and then taking a train down to DC at 3 in the morning on Tuesday the 20th.

Unfortunately the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies decided that the tickets may not be distributed by members of Congress until 5 pm Monday the 19th and must be picked up in person.

Knowing that hotel rooms in DC were overpriced and sold out fast, I must not be the only person not staying in the area who has this problem.

What am I going to do? I can't pass up these tickets, but I can't get to the office when they're being distributed! Any great ideas?
