I just tend to prefer subbed Anime since 1. I am studying Japanese so it helps me out. 2. I just prefer the Japanese VAs much more than the English voices, I am quite picky when it comes to the quality of character voices. I know quite a lot of people like the dubs because they can watch Anime in their own language and I have no problem with that.

Detour is the biggest and longest tenured anime convention in the cities. You usually have the pre-register just to be able to get in. Otherwise you have Animinny which is right now the second largest convention there and has been around for a few years now and is actually run by the owner of this site. He also runs Metacon in the cities. Convergence is more a Sci-Fi and Gaming con, but it's one gigantic 4 day party and has a lot of unique room parties and themes going for it. Anime Fusion is a smaller Fall con that just started last year and will be having it's second year in the cities this October. I also heard the people who run Anime World will be having a Spring con for the first time in the cities and will be sandwiched right in between Detour and Animmineapolis next year.
