One thing I noticed is that people in costume tend to draw more attention more than the actual guests/celebrities/artists at the convention. They are often mobbed by both children and adults scurrying to get their photo with them.

Various news outlets covered the convention and everywhere I turned, the dedicated were being interviewed as though they had just rescued orphaned children from a burning building. One of my roomates informed me that at one point on television on the evening news they reported there was a riot outside the convention over some disgrunted fans who weren't allowed in due to over-capacity (even though they had bought tickets).
