Cons seem to be both. I'm going to my first one in late october (can't afford a hotel room for Otakon) so I'll be more knowledgeable then. I think most of the people aren't dressed up, but really, if you saw some buy walking along as Faye from Cowboy Bebop, wouldn't you want to take a picture?
Side note, yesh, pocky is awesome, but you don't have to go somewhere jazzy to get it. Just hunt down the closest asian grocery store, or a large 'gourmet' store (like Wegmen's) that would have international food aisles.
Oh, and yes, some of the sellers do give away stuff. A few years ago at Otakon the Tokyo Pop booth was giving away manga and other things if you could throw a playing card into a bucket.

I went to BAAF 2003. First, we got this little manga sampler thing.. the first few pages of some manga, to see what they're like. In the Dealer's Room, one of the people gave us some weird gum that tasted like pineapple.
And that's it. XD; Not including my necklace-thing with the "Saturday Full Day" pass on it that I kept as a souvenir.

Anime Conventions are soo cool. I've gone 3x to AnimeExpo in Southern Cali. and enjoyed it. Mainly I go to the Exhibit Hall so I can buy more anime stuff. The people that cosplay are really cool. Well... At least some of them. It's great if you bring a camera to take pix with. They're ready to pose for you anytime. There are other stuff to do besides buy and look at cosplay, there's AMV's to watch and vote on, hourly anime viewings, guest interviews and signings, and not to forget the FREE stuff they give out. I got sooooo many antenna heads of Dokkoida!?. Shhhh! Don't tell Geneon. And many distributors give out sample previews of their upcoming anime. All in all, I'd at least go to one Convention if you're an otaku, anime fan.

there are definatly some freaky costumes at anime cons, but you knwo what? Whats teh point of going to a con of any type if you cant dress up? I have been going to KeyCon (science - fiction con, includes anime) since I was like 3, and have always dress up, but as I have gotten older, the costumes have considerably improved lol
