Instant science-fiction convention finder, just add ZIP codes

Nathan sez,

In the early morning of March 21, JJ Adams, assistant editor at The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction asked some "con-loving web savvy fan" to build a convention finder that allowed people to find nearby conventions when searching by zipcode...

By 10:23PM of the same day I submitted this, to his general approval: Convention Finder

Now, it has to be filled with conventions. Spread the word to your various fan groups and/or, if you know of a convention that's coming up in your area that would be of interest to geeks in general, please feel free to submit it yourself to the convention finder (just make sure that you have the venue's zip code).

Link (Thanks, Nathan!)

There's a fairly comprehensive convention calendar here, although I don't think its search is as granular as by zip code:

Very cool. I have an iCal inlcusion in my Google Calendar that tells me that there are lots and lots of cons happening every weekend, but I haven't a clue as to where they actually are at.

I just noticed that it is from upcoming.org.

Doesn't seem to like canadian postal codes. It fails.

Also, it very conspicuously omits next month's New York Comic Con, which is very quickly becoming one of the biggest in the country after only three years.

It's exciting that the internet has finally enabled nerds to find each other.
