Will Neil Gaiman be there in an alligator costume? If yes, then I will definitely be there.
Actually, I've never been to one of these. The list of authors is impressive. I would feel a bit lost going alone, but I could try to talk my friend valancy_s into going...and Burlington is only a half hour from Ipswich...
Don't be intimidated. What I love about Readercon is its collegiality - it's small enough that everyone there is in it together; it's very open and relaxed - imagine being at a sort of wonderful Parisian cafe where everyone is excitedly talking about books - for 2 straight days! I always leave there very cheerful and energized. You'll fit right in. Do bring friends, if you can - the more the merrier! (It's also a delightful mix of serious & silly - you won't want to miss the Kirk Poland contest on Saturday night, or the "Meet the Authors" party on Friday where everyone gets to ask us for stickers to make your own story with - on wax paper!)
No Neil, though, and no alligators - the local specialty, I believe, is lobstah...?

But you'll like it, you'll see!
