FenCon X - Convention Calendar

We want you to come to FenCon, of course, but there's nothing we love more than taking a roadtrip and meeting the fen all over Texas and the Great Southwest. So here's a list of every Texas event we could find plus a selection of the best cons from across the region and the major US and international cons. We'll let you know where our patent-pending semi-legendary room parties will be held on our home page.

If we missed a convention, please let us know. Enjoy.
