It's about time to say goodbye to all our fun photographic evidence of this year's boogaloo known as Otakon. But we've still got more stuff to roll out for you, as I hope you enjoy more photos from the one and only Nicole Ciaramella!As I've said before,I'd like to thank all of you for making Otakon such a fantastic time. I cannot wait until next year, when it's sure to be even more insane.
