    Partying

    Besides the "networking events" where are the party spots?

    Are there any decent bars / clubs in the National Harbor area or is it a case of cabbing / limoing into DC itself?

    National Harbor is growing and opening new entertainment options every day. And, it's a quick water taxi ride to Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown and Mt.Vernon. Check out the National Harbor site.

    For some reason (hadn't finished the morning coffee) I read that as "geek free events"

    That Bobby McKee's place looks interesting. I've never seen anything like that before.

    There is a great restaurant in downtown DC called The Garden. The food is great and not too expensive. Around 11pm the place turns into a swanky club where its not uncommon to see Redskins and National players.

    I was there on a Saturday night last year so I cant say for sure what it be like on a weekday.
