I think a case can be made that the main body of the east coast has been longer since a big meet than the west coast, since south florida wasn't really driving distance from anyone outside of florida.
This is Tom Hankins' wife - DC is my favorite area of the country, and if you hold it anywhere in the metro area, I guarantee he'll come!
(BTW - I work for an event services company so I can help with negotiating hotel contracts if you do it in DC)
Sorry about the Caps!
