So now I've reserved time with the Genius Bar. Hopefully, the battery issue is easily fixable (it's less than a year old, and I have Apple Care)......but I've read that there's at least a 3 day turn around period for battery replacements. So if this is indeed a battery issue, I may just have to get a cheap pre-paid phone to last me the next few days. Sigh.

I hope everyone else is doing much better with their issues
If you have an old-style Universal Connector, try plugging the Firewire in and charging over that. If not you're out of luck with that individual unit - AFAIK Apple's policy is that battery repairs and swaps are usually more hassle than they care to deal with in-store, so you'll likely receive a new unit.
