Atlanta has allways had a pretty good scene, even if my owner and i didnt attend very many functions there,, Charleston sc was amazingly busy in the bdsm world several yrs ago i dont know if it is still, tampa had a cool as all get out goth scene with some bdsm elements on the side and my masters friend goes around down by miami a lot but he hasnt said much about the scene,, of course japan had an awsome scene, my master got to see way more of it than me, i was in high school when i was there,good luck with your search, its tough most of my time in bdsm has been behind the scenes so to speak, we kinda made our own thing where ever we were and or attended private functions not nessesaraly part of the main stream
