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.
