New York Anime Festival 2009 Masquerade

The New York Anime Festival 2009 Yume Cosplay Masquerade was held on Saturday, September 26, 2009, started after 6:30pm and ended close to 11:00pm. The big cosplay event was held in the ANA Theater, which were rooms 1A08-12, and the overflow rooms 1A24 and 1A23. The ANA Theater had the stage and live performance, while the overflow rooms had a screen displaying a live feed of the stage performances. Because of the excitement, many waited eagerly for the doors to open. The waiting area was too small for a continuous straight line, but that did not stop the event from happening. The line was probably longer than a python, and it curved and swung around like a snake. Convention attendees wanted to see the cosplayers and what the performers had in store for them.
