Heya Rodnik
I\'m the most active DC area painter here. stressingj has a fair amount of stuff here and occasionally pops up on the forums, but not often.
There\'s actually a fairly active group of painters in the DC area and we use a Yahoo group:
DC Area Mini Painting Club:

When exactly are you coming up? We haven\'t scheduled our monthly meetings for May or June yet - though I think June is When Arthur is coming from France to teach a class.
