I live in Virginia now, but I grew up living in Raleigh for 20 years. Katie and I visit my family a lot down there, so we're interested in any Carolina cubing events. Starting around the Fall of 2014 we will be much more interested in helping organize events in NC, but before then we may be able to come to cubing get togethers or informal meetings around Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Actually, how many people live near enough to Crabtree Valley mall to consider holding a cube meet-up (NOT a competition, just a meetup) around either Thanksgiving or Christmas or both?
Also, ducttapecuber organized a competition in NC recently. She knows other cubers who are interested to host tournaments. I would contact her on the forum here to get a better idea of who's cubing in NC and where.
P.S. For all the south carolina cubers you may want to look up the Satterfield family, they have been cubing for a while and they live in SC.
