So San Diego Comic Con is a bust, what are the good East Coast Con options again?

So, it took me nearly a half hour to get into the virtual waiting room, and after waiting an hour, I ended up with nadda.

I likely will check out NYCC again this year, since its close to home & I thought it pretty nifty.

Still, what other good go-to events are going on? Figure I'll just look closer to home, and concentrate on the East Coast ones this year.

Thanks in advance.

Well, there's NYCC like you mentioned and Boston Comic Con(April 11-12). Not much else I can say in the matter since I've never been to it.

So I find out after the fact that the link (for tickets) in the official e-mail from SDCC didn't work, so it's no wonder I could get any passes. Ah well, but still sucks all around.

There's PAX East, also in Boston, also in April. From what I've heard the 3-day passes sold out forever ago though.
