That’s right kiddarinos…tonight marked the end of DBAs@Midnight season 2! Normally we’d go through July, but vacation and schedule constraints say it’s better to end now and start fresh in late summer (probably 4-6 weeks…watch this space!)

So, what awesomeness did we bring to the table for our very last ever Season 2 show?
