Another #CEOtaku in the books, what an incredible event to work, compete, and attend.
This one hit especially hard as I really got to see how far I’ve come since starting to do events, and how many amazing, passionate people I’ve come to know as a second family.

This CEOtaku was a million times better than last year. I was so much less nervous thanks to having more experience with events like this and had a lot of fun hanging out with the Naruto peeps again.
