2009 NECPS Show

[quogue]

Well, I finally got a chance to post the pics from last year's NECPS Show that was wayyy back in September.

It's always alotta fun and if any of you ever get the chance to check it out for yourself, you'll see!

Most of my pics are from Sunday, when it was all dark and rainy and I tried to take them when there weren't as many people to block everything.
But anyways, let's take a stroll around the show shall we?
