Fanime 2008

I'm still suffering from withdrawal, so I had to do something Fanime-related. Thanks to everyone who came to Fanime with us--which includes those people I'm not actually acquainted with--I certainly had fun.
But then again, we are all acquainted with one another after all; We're nerds and we love it.

Pictures taken, courtesy of Richard and Collins.
