I made myself a list of things to see in DC in the hope that I make it to DisCon III, and maybe it can help you make up your mind or discover something new too. You can see there are a lot of blank spaces, and I'm sure there are errors and omissions, so please let me know about them in the comments.
(If DisCon III decides to copy any of this information, I am completely fine with that.)

General notes
Highlight means one thing of particular interest to people who are fans of whatever the attraction is about. That one thing can be a collection, but it cannot be "Oh, it's got a bunch of cool things."
By transit entries work like this:
- If there is a subway station nearby, that is listed.
- If it is along a DC Circulator route, that route is given.
- If it is otherwise reachable by bus, there are probably numerous ways to get there depending on time of day and distance you're willing to walk, so it will simply say "Bus". If there is no way to get there with less than a .3 mile (~.5 km) walk, I've noted the minimum walking distance according to the WMATA trip planner.
WMATA's trip planner is right on their front page. The con hotel is at 2500 Calvert Street NW. Remember to always include that NW/NE/etc, because many addresses can be found in more than one quadrant!
