OT: What to do in Washington, DC?

[willyz]

.... well, besides the obvious stuff!

I'm heading into DC at the end of the month to attend this rally that Jon Stewart and Colbert are putting on. I'm staying near the airport but have a rental car so I've no problem driving around for some stuff. I plan on hitting up all the national stuff in DC but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for clubs, sight-seeing, pubs, etc...

Anyone living in DC?

Haha Awesome, I'm thinkin bout going but it's a long ways from here.

I'd highly recommend the Smithsonian's or Library of Congress. If you are into museum's, you could kill 2 weeks of time at the Smiths. Dunno bout the club scene though

Adams Morgan is a place to check out for nightlife. It's up 18th street. Sit in at The Columbia Station shithole.
Also, U Street 14 and 15 blocks has a couple jazz clubs. The 930 club is cool.

Ole' Columbia Station .. A chill place with good musicians.

Bukom(Reggae),Bossa (Latin-Jazz),Madams Organ (Rock/Blues/Soul) and Rhumba Cafe (Latin Music) are all on 18th Street in Adams Morgan..

U street features some great music venues as well.
