Actually, you don't have to register for Wikimania to come to the
hackathon.  The registration fee is only required for the main
conference days; everyone is welcome to come to the hackathon days and
unconference for free.  So tell your DC friends to sign up at
https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon and come!
