Readers of my PiercingMetal website know full well just how much I love the live music scene in our Media Metropolis and I see a number of shows each and every month with the purpose of adding content to that website and to raise awareness about the performer. I also love to keep a comprehensive list of “things to do” like this on a vibrant Events Calendar and with the 2019 “Summer Concert Series” being announced by the fine folks at Good Morning America, I knew I had to copy their press announcement and line out all of the special performances for the followers of “The Chronicles Of Piercing Ken”. Take a look down below and I will see you again at the close.

Audi Presents “The Debriefing” – Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Endgame”

Leave a comment

For those readers of “The Chronicles Of Piercing Ken” who’ve also been following my main website PiercingMetal, there is no need to say how excited I am for the upcoming film “Avengers: Endgame” (to see our content just click that highlighted text). As you read this, NYC is being taken over by the New York International Auto Show which is happening at the Javits Center for the next ten days starting this Friday. Today is actually the second of the two Press Days where the media explores with other members of the industry. I was there yesterday and am actually there as you read this update and taking a few moments to load this fun post from Audi and work on our Official Instagram. Check out this “Avengers: Endgame” themed sales pitch.

About The Clip: Captain Marvel is back to help the Avengers battle for the fate of the universe. But first, she’s got to get debriefed in what she missed—from fads to food to tech, including the fully-electric Audi e-tron SUV.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: So while an Audi is a beautiful machine its out of my price range and I am not currently a driver so that solves the issue overall. As I mentioned I’ve been loading up our Official Instagram with images from my wanders of the Press Day at NYIAS and I’d love to share them with you all so just click HERE and start lending the love. I’ll see you again soon for sure.
