The Press Release:
Canstruction returns to Brookfield Place! The beloved annual design competition challenges teams of architects, engineers, and contractors to build sculptures made entirely out of unopened cans of food. The large-scale sculptures are displayed in an exhibition open to the public and later donated to City Harvest to help feed those in need. This year, we’re giving you more ways to engage with and learn about Canstruction, including a live build, tours, and fun activities for youngsters.
LOCATION: View Canstruction at Brookfield Place located at 230 Vesey Street in Lower Manhattan. This year, you can donate cans of food and visit the Information Table in the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place. View the Canstruction exhibition map HERE.

As previously mentioned, “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” was in attendance at the annual BroadwayCon this past July and during the course of the exploration a number of video interviews were done for our Official YouTube Channel. In the post that preceded this one, I shared the opening ceremony and a couple of Marketplace interviews but now the time had some to share some one on one chats with two talented actors that I have been fortunate enough to talk to during the convention. First up is the awesome Alyssa Jaffe and then the master of ceremonies himself, Ben Cameron.

The Chronicles of Piercing Ken was in attendance at the annual BroadwayCon this past July and during the course of the exploration a number of video interviews were done for our Official YouTube Channel. The convention had returned to the New York Hilton Midtown where it had been held for a number of years and to start this collected feature here is some of the always fun opening ceremony with their host Ben Cameron. After this I headed over to the Marketplace and spoke to both “Little Shop Of Plushies” and “Broadway Up Close”.

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”.

As previously noted, I was once again invited to participate in the annual “Sweet Suite”, the mega-toy preview event held by the fine folks over at The Toy Insider. Assorted media and influencers assembled over at The Glass House to learn about the latest and greatest toy releases from a respected batch of exhibitors. 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. I’ll start off with our friends at Moose Toys who had a cool new release called “XOX Kweenie”.
