Rush passport help: no appointments available

I am scheduled to go to Toronto next Thursday 7/15, and was just naturalized as a US citizen last Friday. I need to get an expedited passport, but since I'm a first-time applicant I have to apply in person, and the soonest appointment I can get through the automated appointment line at the New York office is 7/16. Do I have any other options? It seems strange to me that they have a service set up for people who need to travel within 14 days, and yet the soonest appointment is 10 days away.

I did just speak with a customer service representative who told me I can call back on Thursday and talk to an appointment specialist. They may be able to help me because it will be within 7 days of travel. It seems counterproductive that it has to become even more of an emergency before they can do anything...

Thanks
 
So did you try it?.. what happened?

Folks, you should update these posts, so people who have the same questions can find out later, without re-posting the same questions.
