Looks like Oct 3-5 in Lexington Ky according to AnimeCons.com

I remember seeing a few flyers for this and OMG con when I was visiting my parent's in Henderson last month. Nice to see something happening in Lexington other then the small room UK's anime con would sponsor at UKON, if the gaming club even does that anymore....
