In the midst of this sea and on the edge of this desert.

 Hey so I'm looking for some advice...

I've been wanting to try out going to a fan-related con for a while, I always love reading other people's trip reports when they've gone to one and guess what? There's one in London this weekend: Nine Worlds

I've never heard of it but it looks pretty good, with loads of interesting panels and things going on so I'd like to go. 

SO...
Anyone got any tips on going to cons? Any etiquette I should definitely be aware of? Any thoughts about going to cons on your own without knowing if you'll know people? Anyone going? How important is it that I catch up with Welcome to Night Vale before I get there? 

Logistically I have a couple of queries about 1) definitely not being able to go until Saturday so missing the first night, and 2) I live in London - how key to the fun is it to stay in/near the convention? 

Hope everyone's okay these days! Let me know your thoughts/experiences - I wanna be prepared!
