I also agree with a DC location, and with the idea that outside the district will hurt attendance.
Dupont Circle sounds like a good idea, as the red line (e.g. union station) has been agreeable in the past.

I agree. Unless it's in DC, or maybe 1 or 2 metro stops outside, it's going to hurt attendance.

How about Ballston?
Lots of restaurants near the Metro stop, many more in Ballston Commons.
Served by Metro rail and bus and easily accessable from I-66, I-395 and VA Route 50..
What say ye?
That is a LONG trip for anyone on the Maryland side. If you want a Va. location, Rosslyn is OK, Pentagon City/Crystal City is OK, but Ballston is a major trip.
I'm not sure why we're choosing between Virginia and Maryland if it results in long trips for some potential attendees. I think the fairest would be to split the difference between Virginia and Maryland and hold it in DC proper.
