Oh, I forgot.
FSA website:

And I run (but don't really maintain) a small combat website for the area:
www.midatlanticcombat.com
We also have a mailing list for the area that I also run, if you are interested.
In past years there have also been contests in VA, PA, and NY, most 4hrs or less away. But there were fewer last year for various reasons.
I also travel out west quite a bit. It's only an easy 8hr drive from here to places like Muncie, IN for Nats, Ohio, or the Detroit area. I drive out friday, fly sat and sun, and drive back sunday night and am back at work on Monday. There is a lot of flying in that area if you're willing to travel to it.
