There is a much smaller convention in Norfolk, VA called Nekocon. It has about 2,500 people, which is about one tenth of the size of Otakon, but it is just as great for different reasons. Everything is much smaller, but not too small. The lines are very bearable, and what I love most about it is the "small town" feel of it. It's really a great place to make friends. I recommend Nekocon to everyone who enjoyed Otakon~!
