Back in January, I was in attendance for the always fun BroadwayCon which I’ve described as being akin to a theatre-centric comic convention. It was held at the New York Hilton Midtown and it was a whole lot of theatrical everything to enjoy. As usual I posted some news and some highlights and a lot of photos were taken to be added to our feed here on The Gram but having fallen behind on everything, the plan for February or March fell off quite a bit and then, well…you know what happened in March. Since the scourge known as COVID-19 has taken over the world, I’ve been keeping myself as busy as possible indoors and you all should be doing the same. This is why I am announcing a Latergram Takeover of the Official Instagram of the Piercing Ken site. It’s mostly the fun cosplayers that I encountered along with a few other fun images so I’m pretty sure that you’ll like it. If you’d like to see other BroadwayCon stories on the website you can click HERE as that will open up a new browser tab with any of the content that’s been dedicated to this past years BroadwayCon. My first photo is down below and remember that the best way to help an Instagram profile is to like the images and maybe even comment in if you have something on topic to add to the mix.
