I wouldn't recommend driving to ANY FT event in DC. If someone is staying out near Tysons, parking the car at W. Falls Chruch Metro and then heading by metro in makes sense. For those at city-centered hotels, well they have two choices... metro or DC's (believe it or not) cheap cab system. The Maryland suburbanites are also well positioned for the metro.

The reason I suggested Buffalo Billiards was not so everyone could play pool but because it is a big place with lots of room to socialize. I've been there with groups of ten or more around one pool table. Some folks will shoot pool while others hang out and socialize.

btw, a big to mdtony for pushing this WAS gathering idea along over the last couple of months.
