local conventions listing?

Zoid

is there a list of shows/gatherings/conventions anywhere?

id like to find all the 3d/2d/animation/software gatherings within 1 hour of LA/SF/San Diego
(happening within the next 2-3)

anything like that around?

well if a gathering is worth its salt usually someone will have a post about it in here, especially for the California area.
Also a good spot to keep your eyes peeled:
