    The only ones listed in Orlando Florida for this year are MegaCon and Jacon. That's about it. The biggest one is MegaCon, since this is Jacon's first year here.

    yakamashi, you missed out on Kawaii Kon! It turned out to be better than expected (expected 500 people to show up... turned out be 1897 people registered!) :dizzy2: Some of the highlights included the anime music video dance (with a 1 1/2 hour long nonstop DDR-soundtrack megamix video!), another dance, karaoke for two nights, the cosplay contest (there was a guy dressed up as his own character, called "Sophisticated Actor," lol), Domo-kun playing DDR, an adorable lil Chiyo-chan that made everyone go "awwwwww!", Samara/Sadako with a cardboard TV (she'd slowly crawl thru, then suddenly crawl really fast and grab someone's legs!). And there were lots of Naruto and Inu Yasha character cosplayers. http://kawaii-kon.org/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/index.php

    Next year is gonna be even better! After the convention, I got pretty hyped to watch more anime.

    Aside from the big conventions, NY has the Big Apple Anime Fest every labor day weekend.
    Also I go to a lot of Comic book conventions and there are a lot of anime stuff there. They even have artists and previews.
