Well, I'm in TX, so I can't help you, but please tell me, I understand you not feeling confident enough to root it yourself, but, why exactly do you want to root it then?. I mean, if you don't want to do it yourself, you will have a problem the next time there is an online update (if you apply it, you will loose root, if not, you will be out of the new functionality or fix).
Why do you need root? is it for the free WIFI Tether? or for another reason?
ALso... which version do you have? sis you apply the OTA update from last month? if not, you can still have "quasi" root functionality with Unrevoked (and it is only an app)
