Well those are you're two options. Best I can suggest is charging the battery overnight with a battery charger and hoping you make it all the way to town on the charge. Or, have a friend drive you?

The reason I ask about the airbag light is because it is on the same fuse as the battery light. And the battery light circuit is also what provides field current to the alternator in order for it to start generating power. If that fuse is blown, you won't get an airbag light, you won't get a battery light, and the alternator will not work at all.
