Whenever the WorldCon is outside of the U.S.A., a NASFIC (North American
Science Fiction Convention?) is held, usually around the same time.  This
year's was held in Austin, Texas, and featured a concurrent chili cook-off.

The WesterCon is one of the major regional cons, held for the west coast.
The Midwest and New England also have major regional cons and I'm sure there
will be a deluge of info. if anyone asks.

WesterCon is held on July 4 weekend (WorldCon's are usually around Labor Day)
and next year's will be in San Diego, while 1987 will be in Oakland.

Next year's WorldCon, ConFederation, will be in Atlanta.  There are calendar
listings of Cons, with addresses for further info., in LOCUS, ANALOG, and
ASIMOV's, among others.
