	Several of the first few PyCons were in DC, back when there were only 300 people or so attending. We had them in a building at George Washington University that had a few lecture hall-type rooms, as well as regular meeting rooms. The one downside is that there are no large hotels in the immediate area; most require a 3-4 block walk to the campus.
