Flying is by far the cheapest way. I paid like 170 for my ticket to Philly and got a ride to the field. If there are enough of us we can split a rental and hotel if we can't find enough bunk space. I also don't think 4 of us together in a car for 17 hours.

The only hotel I would actually stay in is the Holiday Inn, the other hotels are just plain scary nasty.
I would suggest that groups of 3-5 people go in on the rental and hotel.
By the time fall castle is hear I fully expect gas to be around $4/gal. So lets say we get 25mpg. That is 25mpg for about 1200 miles. About 50 gallons each way = 400. Then there is the estimated 17 hours each way for a total near 35. We would have to leave thursday and would probably miss all the pump stuff on sunday.
If I have not already moved up there I would be more than willing to do this. Most of you guys can probably fly out of Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale/Miami easily and I will fly out of Jax.
