If you're looking to save money and stay local, New York Comic Con/Anime Festival is good.
There's also Otakon, Anime Boston, PAX East, AnimeNEXT, and Zenkaikon in the Northeast. Honestly if you want a full list...wikipedia has one.

 

well,some of them are just big. as a person who is not a teenager, i like the ones where really nice hotel rooms exist,as well as fine dining. and while i dont look down at people who wear cardboard and duct tape costumes, i prefer at least every other costume to be really well made. otakon looks passable. dragoncon. san deigo comic con got alot better. a few years ago it was just nerds, and action figures, and celebrities making speeches to the masses. finally im seeing nice costumes,and very fit people attending.


although the standard issue nerds have poor manners at comic con. they slap the butts of girls who wear skimpy costumes. unless they nab a guy like me for their group, lol. then the nerds for some reason dont do so.
