So as I’ve previously discussed here on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I was once again among the toy industry masses and learning about all of the new awesome products from some amazing companies thanks to the Toy Insider’s annual “Sweet Suite”. The event was held over at Chelsea Piers and in addition to photos and some social media, I did several videos for the YouTube Channel. While these clips are resident on the Channel, I’ve culled them together for our website readers as well.

I just love the innovations from VTech, and these Switch N Go creations are really awesome.

Hey Friends, I’m just taking a moment out of the day to let you know that the BroadwayCon for 2023 is beginning today and I’m just about ready to head out to it. Historically speaking I usually try to attend for two of its three days because there is a lot to do in these summer months and the content doesn’t create itself. I like this convention and have been going to it since around 2018 I think. It’s a lot of fun and can best be viewed as the comic convention for theatre geeks. There are panels, professional Broadway actors, a massive Marketplace with things all theatre in scope and lots of cosplay with fans dressed as characters from their favorite plays. My plan is to snap a lot of photos of these cosplayers and maybe even do some interviews since those can be fun. Now I have to apologize for not having a graphic of my press badge but they don’t send this to you in advance and instead I will secure mine when I arrive at the hotel where they are hosting the convention. That’s the New York Marriott Marquis in case you didn’t know. I do like showing off the press badge and lining out the plans but this time I am just going to go in and have fun and get as much as I can in the time that I am wandering the rooms.

As I mentioned in the post that featured the Official Trailer (seen HERE ICYMI), its been just about eight years since the television world last saw Raylan Givens in action. Givens is the star of the novels by Elmore Leonard that was featured in the very popular series “Justified” which ran for a number of years. Now he is back in “Justified: City Primevil” which premieres tonight on the FX Network and then will be streaming on the Hulu Network as well for good measure. Will you be watching? Here is some reminder about the brief series.
