I made some of the Framingham cons. I don't recall offhand whether I made that one.

The con I want to visit in the US is Readercon but I really can usually not afford the money and time to go to both Readercon and Worldcon.

I go more often than not. It's a dedicated literary convention, with
only books. No Art Show, no Masquerade, no film program (though one year did have a showing of the BBC's Gormenghast adaptation), no Anime... The dealer's room is only book dealers. They tend to get a good pro guest turnout.
Programming tends to be quite good, but it's not a party con.
