And of course, arkadymac.com was there for our beloved community of cosplayers, who got to enjoy the event and the wonderful venue that UP Town Center had to offer. They had memorable photoshoots at the many stylish locations, had their photos taken by mallgoers and fellow cosplayers, and had fun in the company of people with the same fandoms, and we’d like to feature some of them here.
