What to do after all day on the Mall in DC in May?

My husband and I will be returning to DC, where we spent part of our honeymoon, for a 10th anniversary trip during the first week in May (May 1-May 7). I've seen these questions, which cover a lot, but we're also interested in events the locals might know about that we wouldn't hear about coming in from out out town. For location/travel purposes, we'll be staying at a hotel near the Foggy Bottom Metro stop and will not have a car. Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
Best answer: It's a bit too far out to know what's going to be going on in May. I checked a few of my favorite DC-related sites, and not much is listed yet. Maybe ask again closer to the date?
It's worth pointing out that there's a really cool MeFite who works at the Library of Congress and who gives awesome behind-the-scenes tours. MeMail me and I'll give you the details.

Response by poster: We're getting some things for May in Austin but it probably is too early. Those two lists are going to be valuable, though. Thanks!

I've bookmarked a lot of local events calendars here - most have not yet posted their May schedules yet, but it will be worth checking back.
