Though if you come to Brooklyn I know a place that would do it quite inexpensively (and well), shockingly so in fact (I also had two broken spokes this summer). Sidenote: Tried to vote in the road trip poll, though FireFox/Flash would let me. 17 over here :) Miss you Chris! I concur with said comments.

There you go, it's already in your genes :0) Replacing the broken spokes and retensioning them may well be all that is needed to put the rim back in whack. “Especially considering my brother used to be a bike mechanic.”

I guess I can do it myself, yes. Especially considering my brother used to be a bike mechanic. Fortunately, I have a spoke key. Thanks!

It isn't hard and if you take your time it is quite easy. You can do it with the wheel in its normal place; fancy jigs are only necessary for wheel building from scratch.
