I love everything about the DC Chapter of FR!
BTW-if anyone is searching for a room and can afford it, if they go to ratestogo.com (rates to go), they still have 13 rooms as of this moment available and you do NOT have to stay three nights with this booking site. Their rate is under just over 200 per night including tax. YIKES. But still....many of the hotels are outrageous in their $$$ for this inaugural event.
Oh and btw-the hotel that has 13 rooms left is the Washington Plaza, where the inaugural ball takes place.
