has anyone been to an Anime Convention before? The reason I am wondering is because next month I think that there is a convention in seattle WA. so I will try and go to it. I want to know what its like before I go to one.

I have only been to one, a very small local one, but I think it would be a lot of fun. I'm sure there will be a shopping center to buy stuff as well as perhaps a viewing room for watching anime and some sort of feature people there, like voice actors or something.

Do people actually dress up because I don't want to be the only one doing it.

I'm going to one in July, LA. <3 cosplaying as Seras from the Hellsing manga. Sry, guess that doesn't help you much.
