The problem is that I keep missing the local CONs held in and about San Diego. I don't have the time or money to even think about WorldCon or any other large convention, but I keep hearing about smaller (and less expensive) ones held nearby. Is there any listing anywhere of the smaller, local sf-conventions? I am particularly interested in San Diego to LA area. If anyone knows of any coming up I'd appreciate hearing about them. Or if you know of an easy way to find out that, too, would be helpful.

The best con list I've found is in Locus magazine (the address is currently packed away in a box, let me know if you want subscription info). This is a monthly semi-prozine that acts as a newspaper to the SF/Fantasy field. Every two months they publish a list of every con they have information about (which is just about every con) and on alternate months they publish updates. Subscriptions are something like $16 a year, and you get a lot of information for it. chuq -- :From catacombs of Castle Tarot: Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.ARPA FidoNet: 125/84 {decwrl,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,pyramid,seismo,ucbvax}!sun!chuq Somehow, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...
