Sadly you've broken the single most expensive part (and AppleCare wouldn't have covered this anyway; its abuse). Even replacing it yourself (assuming you were mechanically talented enough and willing to do so) will cost hundreds of dollars. Having a Apple Authorised Service Provider will cost more, but it will at least be done right and their work warrantied.
Only you can determine if a few hundred bucks is "worth it" or not. A new one will of course cost you more than that.

Also you buy the LCD itself and follow one of the guides on iFixit and save yourself a couple of bucks.

If you want it fixed, take it to an Apple Store and grab your ankles, kiddo.
You learned an expensive lesson. If it fell onto a hard surface, your hard drive is probably damaged too.

Exactly what I was thinking, Justin. No sense fixing the screen until it's determined whether or not it's going to display anything...
