• Balticon is hosted by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society.
• Disclave, Capclave, and the 29th World Fantasy Convention are hosted by the Washington Science Fiction Association.
• Worldcon and NASFiC are hosted by the World Science Fiction Society.
• Castlecon and Evecon were hosted by Fantek.
• Philcon is hosted by the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society.

I will not be traveling to cons further than Boston or Chicago (and will even go that far only for Worldcons) until the War on Tourism ends, as I am not willing be treated as a criminal suspect, nor to carry “papers, please.”
