I love the conventions I've been to (which, granted, is just a couple) and I've been pondering going to one on the east coast, since I know there's a lot of Samanayr folks out that way

Now that the kids are getting older I might be able to make this a reality in a year or two!
So, if you're on the east coast, what are some conventions that you go to or know of? I'm more interested in sci-fi/fantasy and comics but an anime convention might be fun too, I just don't watch much (ie any) of it nowadays.
