This is a new west coast conventions, but there was no option for it so I put this in under the Misc. Cons. ;P
Anyways, this seems like a really cute convention. The whole thing is set up around the overall theme of a mystical Romanesque/Greek type island and each year a new City (and theme) is discovered and a new mayor named. Mayors are "voted" in with tokens that have a number of votes on them. Depending on the membership you purchase, you get between 5 and 30 votes. Tokens are placed and hidden all over the convention as well. You can give away your votes to someone you think is worthy of the honor too
.
The convention takes place on October 1-3 in The Westin Los Angeles Airport, 5400 West Century Boulevardm, Los Angeles, CA 90045.
Registration is $20 a day or $40 for the weekend, though you get better things and deals on the more expensive memberships here:

A dealers table is $100 which includes membership.
The guest list is promising with Stan Sakai, creator of the Usagi Yojimbo comic, Matthew Ebel, musician and entertainer, and Mark Merlino, Co-founder of the first North American furry convention "Confurence" as well as director for "Califur", 2 the Ranting Gryphon, comedian, Uncle Kage, storyteller and chairman of Anthrocon. The Mayor of the first year is Agent Elrond, the cover artist of 2 Grphon's products as well as the artist for the convention.
Overall I think this con sounds really promising! I kind of want to room with people and try it out or sommat.
