USA/Canada Fandom Conventions this Weekend – May 21 – 23, 2010

Looking for something to do this weekend? Believe it or not, almost every weekend there are dozens of fandom conventions occurring all over the world. Some are large corporate-run “official” conventions that may be hard to get into on short notice, and some are tiny fan-run conventions that would probably love to have a few more people show up. Below is a list of just some of the conventions happening this weekend in the United States and Canada, between May 21 – 23, 2010. (Special thanks to The Convention Finder for the help in creating this list.)
