A Fan-Operated Science Fiction and Fantasy Literary and Filk Convention in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area
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 the region and around the
country plus the major US and international cons. We'll let you know where our patent-pending
semi-legendary room parties will be held in "News and Notes" on the home page.
If we missed one, please let us know. Enjoy.

For the Record
- CAGE Con II hasn't updated their website in more
than 20 months and it appears that this Dallas comics, art, and gaming expo will not
be returning in December, 2007, as tentatively planned.
- It breaks our hearts but Panda*Monium
will not be returning in November, 2007, as hoped. We loved this Oklahoma City con
and hope that it may someday again fill us with fannish joy.
- Shiokazecon, a Houston anime con, will not be
returning for 2007. The organizers say circumstances beyond their control have forced
them to put the return of this first-year con on indefinite hiatus.
- The O-Chibicon organizers say their Houston
anime con, originally scheduled for August, is not returning for reasons of economics.
