Anti-Bloomberg rally in DC 1/23/07
Countertop describes the VCDL rally planned for January 23, at the DC Capitol Hilton. Bloomberg and his mayors will be meeting at the hotel, and VCDL plans a protest calling for BATF prosecution of Bloomberg for setting up alleged "straw man" sales. My recommendations for travel are in extended remarks.
You'll never find parking around there on a weekday, at least not on the street, and underground parking is pretty expensive. Metro is the best bet.
Finding a cheap hotel in DC is virtually impossible. In the Virginia suburbs, if you go out to Falls Church there are Holiday Inns, Best Westerns and such that run a under a hundred a night. I can't think of any within walking distance of a Metro stop, so you have to drive to the stop and park. Out in Fairfax there are also a few in that price class. The Breezeway Inn is pretty reasonable. It's also close to the NRA HQ, so you can drop over and visit the National Firearms Museum.

Everyone should wear an empty holster in recognition/protest of the local DC handgun ban.
A number of hotels do provide a shuttle service to the metro. I would suggest you check before making your booking.
