ReedPOP Announces The “Metaverse” Virtual Convention

Since our audience here on “The Chronicles” is often much different from the friends we have over on PiercingMetal.com, I wanted to take a moment and share one of the convention announcements that just posted on that side of the creative coin. The fine folks over at ReedPOP have just unveiled the details about “The Metaverse” which is a virtual convention. You can learn more by clicking HERE. It will launch a new window to PiercingMetal.com for you to peruse the scoop. We’ve still no word from their team regarding the fate of the popular New York Comic Con but one has to surmise that under the current climate that it cannot take place at all.

Before the virus hit, I had hoped to be on the press line snapping photos since I’ve been doing so much lifestyle stuff here on “The Chronicles” but based on the world of now it was not going to be possible. This time only a handful of competitors from the men’s and women’s team assembled and were seperated by bit plexiglass dividers.
