Anyone from Ohio?

Hey, Ohio here. Do they have cons in Ohio? I've seen youtube clips about the big ones in California and some funny reporter goes and interviews all the people who cosplay. Looks like something like that would be alot of fun to do, though I'd worry about impulse control and not buying a ton of things on a spur of the moment whim. My amazon wish list for titles is already 3 pages long. I could not fathom being in one spot where tons of anime/manga/etc purchases could be made instantly. I get envious seeing fan videos where people go in groups and get a hotel room and when they get back to their room they each have a bag full of memorabilia dumped out over the bed and onto the floor! I don't collect figures anymore but just seeing all the cool items and collectibles---it makes you want to have a bag full of cool items to dump out and sort through too! But luckily this is Ohio and all I'm surrounded by are strip malls, strip malls, and grocery stores. And some woods. Though the woods are quickly being bulldozed for more condos. :(

Im from midland, pa. its about as close to ohio as it gets.
