I found out today that there's a con in Myrtle Beach from October 2nd-4th.
http://www.xconworld.com is the site if anyone's interested also. There doesn't seem to be too much of an anime presence (seems to be mostly sci-fi/comics), but it looks like it could be a fun time still.
Might check it out, if I can afford it, and if I'm still in the state at that time.
