EDIT: 2008 listings start HERE.A great big new mess of Con listings has arrived in my Yahoo box. This time I will leave it intact for a while before I start deleting the ones I have no interest in keeping. If you want to know if there is a con in your City, State, surrounding states or country, tell me what you want me to look up.
**It is NOT sufficient to just say where you are & expect me to figure out what all the adjoining areas are. State where you want me to look, and I can scan the list much faster.
**It will be up to you to search for the con website once I give you the name of the con. I will give you the dates also, though.
**I do seem to have at least a couple outside the US, & one seems to be in Australia.
Every few months I get a new mess of these listings, so I will let you know right here when that happens.

*Raises eyebrow* No interest at all? I thought some of you said you wanted to go to cons. I'm going to dump all these e-mails soon if nobody shows interest. They're taking up a lot of space in my e-mail.

I don't suppose you know of any in England, do you? Specifically around Oxfordshire, the Costswolds, London or Sussex?

These are not in chronological order, just in the order I found them amid my e-mails. smile
These cons are all going to have art shows in them--that's why I get these mailings. Any other cons that do not have art shows won't be in my pile of mailings.

Thanks for that. That actually ought to work out pretty nicely, as I ought to have my student bus pass by then, as well as a job with which to fund the inevitable spending spree.

Yup, you have a whole year to save money, make reservations, & maybe find friends to share expenses. See if you can get advance memberships; it can save you a lot!

I went to Heroes a couple of times, but it was years ago. I really enjoyed it. I got to meet Mark Crilley, creator of the comic Akiko. He's a nice guy. He had a hardback-bound journal he took to cons & got fans to draw art for him. I drew a unicorn in his book. whee Stan Sakai, creator of Usagi Yojimbo was there too, but his line was immense. I also met Linda Medley, creator of Castle Waiting. I bought a cool poster that has lots of characters from the series we haven't seen in the comics yet!

Thank you smile I don't know what will happen with me between now and October, but I might be able to go by then. The only downside would be that it's in the middle of the semester and I don't have much money yet.

I don't suppose there is anything in Atlantic Canada? (The provinces are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island)

Abyss_Jin: No, sorry--so far no cons for Canada...although some more started appearing today & that may change. smile

Usually when I get more listings I get a whole pile of them, so more may turn up in the next day or so.
