Saturday was a more chill day. I had the chance to do less running around and spend more time actually getting to see the sites and sounds of not only NYCC but New York City as well. Poyo insists on eating well while on tour. Tyson B. is more like me and likes chill food (Hooters on time Square was nixed by Poyo, but we did see Keenan from Keenan and Peele at the restaurant we went to tonight.)
Here is my wrap up for day three. Poyo should be working on the Cos-Play gallery tonight or tomorrow.  Continue reading “NYCC Day 3 Wrap Up”
