What is a NAMM and why should I go?

Actually, now know what it is 'cause I researched NAMM online, but a couple of weeks ago before I knew anything about and was invited to attend. At first I said yea, thinking it was a musical event. Turns out it is a music trade show! I am neither a tradesperson nor a musician so I bowed out. Another friend of mine wants to get his badge, he is a musician and knows a few people. He wants me to attend with him, but I will feel out of place being at this thing without something to do. I am not good with crowds of strangers unless I am drinking or in character. My question is, because you all are so music savvy, should someone like me attend if I can get in and if so will I be allowed to go in costume wearing the Jamaican Carmen Miranda outfit, but instead of wearing fruit on my head I will glue tiny musical instruments and film myself looking for Steve Perry or something like that. Might even find a few other musicians who are willing to play.
What do you all think? Have a great, YAY ALMOST FRIDAY!, evening.
