Hi Matt, Sorry for the non-plain text...
I added your suggestion to my .emacs but upon export it removed the entire block, which is odd based on the source code for the function... Anyway, I found another solution that now seems obvious: the #+begin...#+end blocks themselves can be folded by either hitting TAB on the #+begin line, or by setting the =org-hide-block-startup= variable.
