Just like the topic says, except for Metrocon, Megacon and Jacon, because I already know about those. Thanks in advance. :D

Anime Express kicks all ass if you can get to daytona area! :D

Friendly little con (less than 150 people), and they let you crash on the floor! :up: Just hope you don't mind getting trampled when AMV_4000 lights the building on fire

Other than those, there's FITcon in Melbourne (usually around April), and the site is http://www.fitcon.info/. Also, coming up in August is Anime Festival Orlando (http://www.animefestivalorlando.com).
