Instead of heading across town for a meeting that wastes time, gas, and probably doesn’t do a whole lot for your sense of calm (especially if it involves a trip over 520), why not stay at your office and put technology to work?  Your laptop probably has a built-in camera for video conferencing (all the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros do, as do a number of PC laptops), and the results are surprisingly good. What the heck.  At least give it a try.
