Even though today was the first day of FanimeCon (and a Friday), there were plenty of people at the FanimeCon today. I've been to FanimeCon on Fridays before, and the attendance was always a little lacking, but this was not the case today. Fans were out there in force today, and there was a good mass of cosplayers at the con. I'd guess somewhere between 15-25% of the attendees were dressed up, which is a substantial amount.
And this is just the first day -- there's still 3 more days, with the masquerade not happening until Sunday evening. I expect many more cosplayers and costumes in the next two days, with critical mass happening on Sunday.
While FanimeCon used to have a very strong live programming presence, their focus appears to have shifted away from the panels and more towards activities (like dances, karaoke, and concerts).
