You should be thanking God I didn't make a thread for Otakon because Otakon > any convention in Texas automatically.

vs.

Texas' Largest Convention: A-Kon

No contest. Also for a little more salt in the wounds:

Largest North American Anime conventions of 2006

Calculation methods used from con to con may be different. Some conventions report just paid attendance while others report "total attendance". A "total attendance" figure would count all people with a badge including paid attendees, staff, guests, dealers, and others.[1]

1. Anime Expo - 40,647 total, 32,930 paid
2. Otakon - 32,902 estimated total, 22,302 paid
3. A-Kon - 12,500 estimated paid
4. Anime North - 12,500 total, 11,286 paid
5. Anime Central - 11,500 estimated total
6. FanimeCon - 10,000 estimated paid
7. Anime Weekend Atlanta - 8,949 paid
8. Anime Boston - 9,354 total, estimated 8,854 paid
9. Sakura-Con - 8,300 estimated total, 7,500 estimated paid
10. Katsucon - 6,400 estimated total, 5,664 paid

Contest? Oh dear god no, I'm not trying to compete with Texas over VA, the dates on the conventions aren't even competing. Therefore, we could have both.

And I posted the link because there are other conventions in VA that may be more convenient than Nekocon. No need to get bent outta shape for me supporting both ideas.
