It may be getting colder out, but that doesn’t mean “convention season” is over just yet. Below is a list of anime conventions happening across the globe this very weekend, November 12 – 14, 2010. We’ve got cons going on from Texas to Denmark!

Hollywood Xpo, a brand new pop culture convention based in California, is getting a lot of attention these days, especially for its ever growing guest list.
