hotels are expensive in DC- but they are close by and you can take metro where you need to go- if you roll with a posse and you can split the room with 2 or 3 folks that de best plan

I just need to see a good fete line up

[Juancito Trucupey]

If you in NY no need to fly to DC unless you have loot like that. No need to stay in the actual city either, not when you can stay nearby in parts of MD and VA for much cheaper.

Nah, depending on where you stay you may not need a car... metro access might be all you need. Time fete letting out metro ready tuh open man, lol

but nah, I hear you. Me personally I'd sooner rent a car and move around freely.

I haven't decided if I'm coming from the north (PA) or from the south (ATL) for DC 2K9 yet- there's advantages and disadvantages to both though

Columbia, MD is a good place to find a cheap hotel close to Metro access- the nice thing about staying downtown though is that you can spend all Saturday limin and then roll back to your hotel for a quick rest before headed back out that night to fete- it sucks to spend all day taking transit only to take more transit to have to go back and get cleaned up and then back into the area

Columbia is too far out of the way.

it could mean the difference of $200 difference per night in a hotel though
Silver Spring is feasible if you not driving and need Metro access

That's what I did last year

Hit the green line to the Petworth Station and watched the parade from there

$200/night difference maybe if you're contemplating staying in DC.

But you just as easy could stay in Hyattsville, College Park, Capitol Heights, Oxon Hill, Arlington, Alexandria etc. for much cheaper... and only be 10-20 mins away from the city vs. 30 mins away as is Columbia. All the places I mentioned have decent hotels/motel chains at affordable prices.
