Hello all!
What are the good cons to go to?
I'm looking for events that are good for cosplay, have a good sized crowd attending them, have a good programming track, are multi-day affairs, and are professionally run.
As a means of comparison, at the top of the list for the ones I'm already familiar with - and have attended - would be Comic-Con International San Diego. That's a HUGE event and has it all. It's also very hard to get into and can get crowded as all get-out.
In a similar vein there's WonderCon in Anaheim. It's just like San Diego Comic-Con but much more approachable and easier to attend as the tickets don't require any lottery process. It has cosplay aplenty, a big vendor area, and lots of programming going on. And it has lotsa cool guests attending.
I've been to Salt Lake City Comic-con previously and enjoyed that too. So much so, that I'm headed back this year. I've also been to a Dragon Con in Atlanta and plan on being back next year.
So, what else is out there?
What are the Cons in Texas like? What are the ones in Arizona like? Anything similar in Northern California? New York? Illinois?
Any ones to seek out? Any ones to avoid?
Do tell!
