The Eastern panhandle of WV (Martinsburg, Harper's Ferry, Charlestown & 
Shepherdstown) is now considered part of the Baltimore-DC metro area by 
virtue of being connected by commuter rail.

I know another guy who does 18th C re-enactment who lives in Rockville 
(and may even be on this list) who has expressed interest in Regia.  I 
bet we can cull out at least 10 people, and certainly there are local 
Marklanders and Scadians (and maybe even a few rogue Dagorhir types) who 
may be interested.
