I'm looking for a few cons of at least 500 people a year and outside the Northeast-Mid Atlantic to do in 2010. I'm probably only willing to do two real long distance ones since I'm told I have to be productive at least twice a year so two cons in anyone area are probably out. All i want is the aforementioned headcount, and of course a literary bent to the convention if there are writers workshops as part of the con even better.
So tell me about the cons in your neck of the woods.
