Topic: LGS in MD-DC Area?

Greetings all!  I just moved to the DC area and live in Silver Spring and was curious if I could get some feedback regarding a good store for FNMs and various events. I am a very competent player (I will be attending GP Baltimore, competed in GP Vancouver last year, and things of the like), but I really am not looking for a cutthroat environment most of the time. Ideally I'd like a store that I can actually make it to for an FNM when I'm commuting from downtown DC on the metro (leaving at 5 like everyone else) with a laid back atmosphere and players. I typically prefer draft/sealed events where people want to have fun and aren't the cliche spikes, as my GF completely refuses to play in those settings.

tl;dr: Just moved to MD right outside of DC and am looking for an LGS that isn't a 2 hour drive and the people don't suck. Thoughts?

Re: LGS in MD-DC Area?

I live in Northern Virginia, which might be out of the way for you... but I spend time at Victory Comics in Falls Church and find it pretty nice.

I've also heard good things about Labyrinth Games in D.C., although I've never actually been there.

Re: LGS in MD-DC Area?

Yeah... I've heard of both.  Labyrinth is apparently SUPER busy (to the extent that you have to make reservations for an FNM).

I was told at GP Baltimore that both Victory Comics and Curio Cavern are good places, although sadly both are in Virginia... I guess I can go take a look, but that is quite a bit in the wrong direction.
