Sometimes it is difficult to know of Anime/Japanese events that go on around you or outside your own area.

I live in southern middle TN and I usually go to Anime Weekend in Atlanta (AWA) every year or every other at least. It is usually the last weekend in Sept. I have been going to that one since AWA 6 or 7 I think which would have been around 2000-2002.

There is actually a convention much closer in Nashville that I have never made it to.
Middle Tennessee Anime Convention (MTAC) has been going on for 4 or 5 years and I just never make it.

I just wanted to see what and where else things are going on. Also my experiences with conventions is it is more fun with a group of people you know or kinda know. Maybe if there are convention goers we could meet up etc. Or is we make a list maybe someone that doesn't know about the conventions in their area will catch one.

Used to go to A-Kon in Dallas, TX every year.

Don't care for them too much anymore. I want doujinshi, cons don't satisfy this. Also find it very hard to find anyone else interested in any of the same stuff, Everyone seems to just be interested in funimation stuff. Vendor area was OK, but I could have bought cheaper, even limited editions of galge for less through deputy service. I don't know, after so much internet a con feels like a trip back to pre-2005. A pilgrimage to comiket/akiba must be made someday.

I can understand how it seems everyone is obsessed with what just hit stateside or is airing on a cable channel. At AWA there were WAY too many Naruto's and L cosplayers when Naruto and Deathnote were airing.
