My first con was super awkward too. In my opinion, the only reason to go is to hang out with people you know online. Some of the panels and events can be fun though.
Also, last year was my first time, and I can tell you the first day is the worst - by the second day, I had met some people and had some idea what panels I wanted to go to and what stuff I wanted to see/do.
My advice is go to a panel your first day - that way, you are surrounded by furries who are there for the same reason as you and there'll be an obvious topic of conversation to break the ice. At least, that was how I got into it.

I'm... slightly petrified, I must confess.
Hope you have a good time there.
Hope to see you there.
