Continuing along with my adventures from the recently attended “Sweet Suite”, which is the mega-toy preview event held by the fine folks over at The Toy Insider. I was among other select media and assorted influencers at a space called The Glass House. While some of my coverage was shared over on the PiercingMetal website, it seems like much more of it was settling over here on “The Chronicles”. Its a bit more work doing it like this but I don’t mind since each audience is a little bit different, This post brings the remaining Exhibitor Interviews from our YouTube Channel into the website in a compiled post to add to that coverage traction. First up are the folks from the Jumbo Group who were showcasing a newly revised edition of the classic strategy game “Stratego”.

I’d be doing double duty at this one with some content being posted over on the PiercingMetal side and the rest over here on “The Chronicles”. Sure its more work but once you get the hang of it all its rather easy. This post brings our Exhibitor Interviews from our YouTube Channel into the website in a compiled post to add to that traction.

The Chronicles of Piercing Ken was once again a part of the Pop Culture Media that was covering the annual BroadwayCon convention which was being held at the New York Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square. Having attended this convention since 2018, it’s an event that I look forward to because in some sense its like a Broadway themed comic convention. There are numerous panels, performances and many of the attendees arrive in theatrical performance themed cosplay. In addition to all these things there is also a wonderful marketplace to explore. I spoke to a number of them for content on the YouTube Channel and in order to have these videos add to the coverage base on the website a few have been collected here for your viewing pleasure. Please enjoy the sixth and final installment.
