NYAF Programming Director Peter Tatara is now on the train to Baltimore, as NYAF's on it's way to Otakon. We'll be set up in the Exhibition Hall throughout the con, giving away chopsticks, posters, and whatever's not bolted down in his hotel room. To follow the fun, follow @ny_anime_fest and @petertatara on Twitter.

Further, if you've been looking at NYAF's site recently, you'll no doubt have seen our Cosplay Variety Show and Hall Cosplay Contest details are both online. What about the Masquerade? Where's it at? We've got a fancy pants cosplay announcement to make at Otakon -- so keep your eyes glued to nyanimefestival.com this weekend for all our Masquerade secrets!
