Hey Tim,
good to see you here, I’m in your area. I live in the Washington, DC area as well. Where do you usually hang out? I would recommend A314, IO, and IH as well. I’m currently experimenting with A314 and have had some pretty good reactions to it. I’ve started a blog of my experience on this forum board, you can find it through my profile or also at my google blog. http://www.dcpheros.blogspot.com/ or Willie Suave's ongoing account of Phero Usage
