One ticket to Philadelphia

Hear of a story about a writer who played Texas Hold'em to get through college, wrote about it, gave it Hollywood who then tweaked the idea to make it "original" and titled it Rounders?
Now meet the young girl who played Texas Hold'em at a private bar and underground basement to win money for bus tickets to an American Idol audition.
Although I missed the 7 day advance to get to Philadelphia, (bus station in Leominster was out of tickets and I have no car to get to Worcester) I still have a couple days to get the cheap ticket coming back home...
