Looking for a last minute carpool to hop in on from the southeast (Raleigh NC area). If anyone is leaving from, or passing through there, and wants some extra help paying for gas, let me know!

Hey everyone,
I am a traveling alone to Nationals and am last minute looking for someone, or a group of someone's, that could use an extra roommate! I of course am more than happy to split costs, but it's very expensive to book my own room.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It would be nice to have someone to share the costs with, but my hotel room only has one bed
