The Chronicles of Piercing Ken was once again a part of the Pop Culture Media that was covering the annual BroadwayCon convention which was being held at the New York Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square. Having attended this convention since 2018, it’s an event that I look forward to because in some sense its like a Broadway themed comic convention. There are numerous panels, performances and many of the attendees arrive in theatrical performance themed cosplay. In addition to all these things there is also a wonderful marketplace to explore. I spoke to a number of them for content on the YouTube Channel and in order to have these videos add to the coverage base on the website a few have been collected here for your viewing pleasure. Please enjoy the second installment.
