As I moved from Hagerstown to Calvert County a few years ago, I won't likely attend, but serious good wishes!

From my understanding, Our Revolution is making Maryland one of the main states that the national organization is trying to build infrastructure in. I just posted another link to one in MoCo this weekend, and I think there's one in PG County coming up on the 4th of Feb. Hopefully one will start up near you in the not too distant future. This page on the Our Revolution site is a good way to check out events in your area (though they're not all "official events" .
Best of luck!
