I had not clue what would be there.
I did not have a problem with being called a geek. Hell, for me geek is a complement anyway. -_-

Anyway, if you're so ultimately paranoid about your image, maybe you shouldn't go. They're mostly for people who just want to relax and enjoy things they like. 8)

Imagine spending three days at a party where everyone knows what the heck you're talking about, and then having to drive all the way home and wake up the next morning to go to work. Reality sucks ~.~

Um, no. I'm twenty six and I'm wondering if an anime con is worth the time and money of attending. I'm curious as to the atmosphere of such events. Are they like car shows or a McDonald's playground? I'm not the type who cares what people think of me (unless I do something to upset them). But I'm also the type who is curious about something that seems interesting yet also has people dressed in funny costumes and speaking in Japanese cliche's. Hence my questions.
I appreciate people's response on the matter. I doubt I'll be attending an anime con anytime soon, but if I get the chance, I might check one out.

One of these days I might be in the mainland and hear of an Otaku convention, and I'll be intrigued enough to check it out instead of thinking "holy crap, that dude is dressed up like Chi".
