"Anime Insider" has listings for cons. Yes, they are Japanese animation orientated, but its a start.

Gen-Con in Indy is the largest one I know of. That's kind of more mid west I guess though. When you're this far south its all just "up there" LOL.

Gen-Con is a gaming convention. Where are you?

It's a shame that you missed Mini-Con in Minneapolis over Easter Weekend. That's usually great. DemiCon in Des Moines is coming up.

I've never been, but I plan on attending Dragon-Con this year. As money permits (so, not at all lately,) I've been working on a snowtrooper, and also a Captain Hammer costume.

Where are you located? BaltiCon in Baltimore is usually a good time as cons go. At least it was back when I hung out with the fen.
