NH: Readercon takes place in Boston (actually, maybe in Cambridge. Can't
find my con flyer in the layers of debris) every July. It's billed as a
more 'readerly' con. Small, with no costumes, no filksinging, high ratio
of writers to readers. I enjoyed it last year, am going back this year.
My favourite image from last year was of the hotel lobby, every available
flat surface occupied by someone with a book in hand, staring intently
into its pages.
