Just like the topic says, except for Metrocon, Megacon and Jacon, because I already know about those. Thanks in advance.

Anime Express kicks all ass if you can get to daytona area!
Friendly little con (less than 150 people), and they let you crash on the floor! Just hope you don't mind getting trampled when AMV_4000 lights the building on fire

Other than those, there's FITcon in Melbourne (usually around April), and the site is http://www.fitcon.info/. Also, coming up in August is Anime Festival Orlando (http://www.animefestivalorlando.com).
