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”.
