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!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

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

Anyone here going to Ancient City Con in Jacksonville Fl, http://www.ancientcitycon.com

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

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

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.

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.
