I've been to two locations for Five Guys pizza, err... burgers. Both great. I'd be interested.

Ok since no one seems to be suggesting either location or date. Here is my suggestion.

Well, as for me I fly back BKK-NRT-IAD on 4/25 which in and of itself would be no big deal but I return to... houseguests. So... 
I'd do Apr 26, May 22, May 25...

25th or 26th work for me, at either Tysons Corner or Georgetown. The only benefit to a Georgetown shin-dig is that we have beer and wine there for those who choose to imbibe.
That, and Tysons Corner is a food court, so less "togetherness" and kumbaya singing for us FTers.

I've had such a fantastic time with the DC HH crowd, I'd give serious thought to forging the traffic to make this. I'll be hitting the BWI rush hour going south on I-95, then the glorified parking lot of the capitol beltway, so "post work hours" might be more later, than earlier, for me.
To the DC traffic experts, coming from Baltimore, is Metro a better option? Just a guess...

Gtown!!
Folks, this isn't even close. Beer and wine at Gtown ^ versus NOT 
.
I'll go to the Gtown DO but won't haul myself through all that traffic to Tysons for less of a party. Sorry all you VA types but...come on.

The 25th looks good for me right now as my preference (sorry gleff), I'm a maybe for the other dates mentioned.
FightingIlliniUAL -- I missed meeting you at an RCC in ORD last year, maybe your trip to DC will work out better.
