Cue: BroadwayCon Will Return To Midtown In 2019

Leave a comment

Earlier in the year, I attended my first-ever BroadwayCon which was held at the Javits Center. The other day we learned of some news about the 2019 convention on their blog so we’ve shared this press release with you below should this happening be of interest to you.

The Press Release:
We can finally tell you what we have in store for 2019! The first three years of BroadwayCon have featured incredible performances, new friendships, and lots of fun. And now we’re moving the fun back into the theatre district.

BroadwayCon is at its best when it’s in the center of it all, so we are bringing it back inland and are thrilled to announce that BroadwayCon 2019 will return to where we started: the Hilton Midtown, with the addition of the beautiful, historic Ziegfeld Ballroom next door. Mark your calendars! BroadwayCon 2019 will take place January 11–13.

It’s been a great two years at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center but we could not be more excited to bring BroadwayCon back to the heart of the city that is integral to the Broadway community we know and love. Snag tickets to a show during the weekend? Now you’ll be able to squeeze in one last panel or singalong before the curtain rises. Tired of the same food court offerings? We are too! At the Hilton Midtown, you’ll be just minutes away from a huge variety of restaurants serving nearly every cuisine, and they deliver!

It’s Been Nine Years Of Tweets; My Twitter Anniversary (2009-2018)

Leave a comment

Hello my friends and social networking mavens of the readership; I am here to share the news with you all that today is my 9th Anniversary as a user of Twitter.  Please try to hold back all the excitement about this occasion for the time being as I reflect upon my first use of the medium.

The medium was slowly becoming all the rage among a group of friends and in the onset I was unsure on how I would even use it.  My first account was the PiercingMetal one and it was initially aimed at all activity that I was involved in for the music review website. Back in 2009 that is all that I was doing in terms of writing.  I felt that it was “okay at best” while those aforementioned friends were mavens for it.    Below is my very first tweet which as you can see is not really aimed at my music site.

A few short months after using the “PiercingMetal” account I would create a second account and use the ID “PiercingKen”. It was aimed at being my personal one and for connection with the other online networks that I was using like Foursquare, Yelp and maybe even my personal Facebook.  The funny thing about using “Piercing Ken” as an ID for this account was that the blog that bears its name was not even on my mind as a thing to do.  That would arrive the following May in 2010.   I am amused that the first tweet for that account actually would have been better served on the music account but oh well.  This might have been an accident at the time but I don’t remember.


first tweet piercingmetal, first tweet, piercingmetal twitterAccording to my many of my more ardent user friends, I still don’t use Twitter properly.  I’ve tweeted with PK over 3K times and with PM over 5K times so I’ve been using it.  I’ve promised to use the service a lot more than I have been doing and I have.  I guess my doing it wrong means I am not talking to people in it as much as I am sharing posts on the two websites and yeah I admit that is a shortcoming of mine when it comes to this service.   Here’s to Year #10 for usage which is I guess the next time that I will bring this up.  If you do enjoy what either website is up to, then I encourage you to follow the respective Twitter account so you get the links when they go live.  We always post to our Facebook’s Official Pages but they keep changing the dynamic on small businesses so no one sees the content.   By the way, clicking either tweet up above will bring you to the account to follow which makes that easier to do.  Alright, that is all I have on this topic and now its back to other items.  Until we meet again my friends, keep on tweeting…

Leave a comment

As I’ve shared the news about the historic residency by Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen before, I figured that the announcement about this residency at the Walter Kerr Theatre being extended until December would be of interest to his ardent fans that also might be enjoying our other features. Take a look down below for the press news.

The “Blogger Bash” Bids Farewell (2014-2017)

Leave a comment

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I only ever attended one of the Blogger Bash events and that was back in 2016. You can revisit those narratives if you are interested by clicking HERE. The event was still pretty “new” to me and I only learned of it from our friends over at SkeletonPete.com as they had been going for a few years. Generally speaking, I miss when anything cool goes “away” but I think that perhaps this event had run its course and would be served in the larger sense by what we found happening at the “Sweet Suite” affair that ran in tandem to it. I was glad to have attended one of these at least since it helped firm up my desire to expand what is happening with “The Chronicles” blog and this has been very beneficial when it comes to our other Toy Fair adventures and the relations that have been growing with The Toy Insider people. What do you think about this news? Does it distress you? Were you one of the influential Influencers or Social Media Gurus that we encountered along the way? I’d love to get your take on this so do please chime in down below. Until next time my friends, keep it real.
