| Cons & Fests A Growing List On this page you'll find a growing list of events where you can perfect your crafts, connect with others of your ilk, rub elbows (antennae, swords or whatever) with the famous and infamous, add to your fannish menageries, and in general, have a good old time! The first list offers links and info for fifteen cons we've chosen to feature. The second list offers links and information for cons of all sizes and genres, across the nation. We'll be adding to this list regularly and will offer methods of sorting it as they become needed. If you've got Con info you'd like to have us add, please post a note in the Cons and Fests section of the forum.
