If you have a geeky interest, there’s a con out there for you.
This week we discuss some of the cons we plan to attend and some we dream of attending. Here are some great web sites for con calendars:
UpComingCons – cons listed by genre
SciFiConventions – search by geographic region and time of year
GeekCalendar – several ways to search for a con
Before Going to a Con
- Make sure the con has a web site or contact information so you can verify the con
- Make sure tickets are not sold out
- Find out if it’s family friendly or not
- Don’t wait until the last minute to book lodging
- Take a friend

My hometown of Fresno is organizing their first major game/comic/geek convention this year. It's taking place Oct. 18-19 and their website is at http://zappcon.com/
(Fingers crossed it takes off, there's some good people trying to get it off the ground)
