I'm very new to the world of anime fandom, and would very much like to go to a convention in the upcoming year. Unfortunately, my Google-powered searches have been quite unhelpful in my search for information on Chicago anime conventions. The abbreviated names that most of the cons go by also reveal little about their actual locations, so keeping an eye on the board here hasn't given me any information.
Are there any cons coming to Chicago soon? What are they/What is it called? Where can I find more information? I'm not too interested in other midwest cons...I'm not going to Iowa City or Fort Wayne or any other place that would require a day-long, solo drive. Strictly the Windy City to start with, and maybe then I'll see if the world of anime cons is worth multiple-tank trips to immerse myself in.
