Crap, that sucks Matt.  She better be hot. 
 
Anyway, how about making this into a real road trip and hitting some better roads on the drive:
 
We can leave from my house at 2pm, and get to Sac around 5 or 5:30, which is plenty of time to make the In-n-Out meet.
We'll get to see Tahoe, and drive 49 to Auburn, which is a fun road IIRC.
Who's down?
