3 hours awayI could drive from Bristol to Manchester in 3 hours at a steady pace. And that is bastard miles away.
Do you consider a 3 hour drive resonable?
(Obviously your country and massive compared to our little island).

more of timebecause it takes 3 hours to get there, it starts at 10, there will likely be people waiting in line and there will be a bunch of other authors there, so it'll likely be an all day thing

I doubt itI think she's trying to say that for merkins, an hour is a reasonable distance to drive to get a taco. For us, it's a distance you'd think twice about driving to see your own mother.

No! they just don't think anything of driving long distances like we do.They do it all the time. Unless you live in New York or somewhere, it takes at least a half hour drive just to get to a shop for a pint of milk.

Just explain that you really want to go.If he/she says "What about the carpets?" you simply reply "Carpets, my arse" causing him him/her to slap their knee, bend double in mirth and feel it's an honour to know a card like you irrespective of whether you help to clean the carpets.
