If it's an emergency and you have AAA, they'll come by and install an new one for you. Isn't going to be cheap though. Since it's Saturday tomorrow, why not try an auto parts store first thing in the morning? There's also Costco and the good ol' dealership on Saturday morning.

Costco is the way to go.
Never will I buy batteries from Autozone again. The prorated warranty is worthless if the price of the battery goes up. I rather not go to pepboys and such myself, but that's just me.
Costco customer service is damn good and that's one of the bigger reasons for choosing them.

I got an Interstate at Firestone for a decent deal after this coupon:

Learned my lesson a spell back. The inconvenience and nature of having the battery die a long way from your dealer-parts shop is the typical scenario. Bought an AAA. Now no matter where in am in the states they will come to me. Price wasn't bad either. Was comparable to any of the other higher line brands and they do all the work. 
I called, told them the year-make model, the dispatcher said it would probably be an hour but the guy showed up 35 minutes later. Quick test, pulled it out, new one in. From call to completion it was hour and five minutes delay. I couldn't do that turn around unless the car died in the parking lot of the parts shop. Even then they want to test by giving the battery a charge and seeing how it holds.
When I had that scenario, it was around 4 hours before I had a new battery exchanged.
