I used to attend I-CON every year at Stony Brook University. It was great. They'd have a huge number of panels to choose from, I'd get a few autographs for free, and then spend hours sitting through anime marathons (It was how I saw most of the Ranma 1/2 TV series) in a building dedicated entirely to showing anime. I picked up my Tenchi Muyo VHS tapes one at a time in the dealer's room.
A few years ago I made the mistake of attending MegaCon in Orlando. The panels were lousy and there were usually only one or two running at a time, anyone wanting autographs had to stand in huge lines and shell out $20+, and there was virtually nothing to watch. Attending a convention shouldn't leave you waiting around bored because there's nothing to do, then going home early because there's nothing to do.
