Due to the continued issues surrounding the Coronavirus Pandemic (Covid-19) and restrictions on events of this size, ReedPOP have been forced to cancel the physical edition of the 2020 New York Comic Con. There will be some elements celebrated in the virtual sense which can be examined HERE.
New York City will find the geeks running the show as the annual New York Comic Con takes over the Javits Center for four days. This mega event is the place to be for fans of comic book culture, cosplay, films and the assorted other related entertainment around it. Don’t miss out on the fun if you can secure a ticket for any or all of the four days.
Hey there my friends, I am taking a moment to let you know that “The Chronicles Of Piercing Ken” Lifestyle website is heading to the annual New York Comic Con for the next four days and as always I am very excited about the people and the visuals that I will encounter at this massive media event which will be taking place at the Javits Center as usual. I’ve been doing some advance announcements over on the PiercingMetal website which you should peruse by clicking HERE because there are some cool things to be aware of if you are planning on attending or just in general as new information about some Pop Culture properties. Technically speaking, its the PiercingMetal website that has the press badge and this outlet comes along for the ride 🙂
As usual, the means to leave comments on this announcement have been disabled since this is only an alert. You should definitely make sure that you are following the PiercingMetal website on its social networks of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter since I plan on putting all of them to use. For those readers going to the Con, I will link to my handy dandy “Guidelines For A Seamless NYCC” that I wrote last year. I wanted to do an update for this year but the time just wasn’t there. This list is good for Comic Con and pretty much any other heavy duty convention.
Hope to see many familiar faces at this years convention. See you next time.
Readers of both this AND my PiercingMetal.com websites know that we just love hitting the New York Comic Con. I started attending back in 2010 and keep the posts to the PM side of the fence when it comes to posting our narratives and images for the general public. With “The Chronicles”, I’ve begun to add more of the announcements about the event to this side based on the overall busy that is our regular posting regimen over there. That said, we just received an announcement from their Event Director with some news about some changes that will be happening for this years convention. Take a look down below.
The Press Release:
I’m Kristina, the Event Director for New York Comic Con and our resident Mother of Dragons. We are always excited to start rolling out announcements for New York Comic Con and this year even more so. The NYCC squad is hard at work bringing together the best our pop culture world has to offer and I can’t wait for you to see what they’re up to. Creating a better NYCC and making it a special experience for you is always our goal.
We’re in the business of producing fun and helping you celebrate your fandom with a few thousand of your closest pals, and where we start is with your feedback on how we can improve and do better. Since we’re in the business of producing fun and making sure you’re able to see and do as many things as you want, we’re going to make a few pretty big changes… Continue reading ReedPOP Issues A Statement For New York Comic Con Fans→
Greetings and felicitations my friends and please pardon my intrusion into your Thursday but I am here to share the news that as you read this notice, I have begun exploring the annual New York Comic Con that takes over the Javits Center (and some surrounding places as well) for the next four days. It’s my ninth straight year attending and I am once again doing this as a member of the press. If this massive Pop Culture event interests you, you are going to want to follow my posts on PiercingMetal with THIS LINK. Since I plan on going to all four days, you should expect quite a few photos going live on that website and of course on our social networks. I love all the colorful and creative cosplayers that I meet and of course the awesome vendors.
Now most of you diehard readers of “The Chronicles” already know that I do NOT permit comments on these traffic redirecting posts and instead prefer that any topical notions that you might have be left on the post that most inspires them to be left on. Let’s stick to that practice for 2018’s event as well shall we? Also, I cannot stress it enough that you should head on over to our Official Social Networks of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to lend that support love to the PiercingMetal efforts. There is strength in numbers and we’d love to have you along for the ride and enjoying the presentations as they are done and those channels allow you to be right on point with it all. Thanks for reading and we shall be getting back to more posts here once the deluge from NYCC has ended. See you then.
As I’ve been going to the NY Comic Con for nine years now, I’m often asked by friends who are braving the teeming masses for the first time about some suggestions and necessary items to bring along to make their day a whole lot easier. Instead of repeating myself ad nauseum, I decided to throw some thoughts down on the web in this little post. It’s my hope that these tips add to your enjoyment of this sensory overloading event. Here is a quick laundry list of things I’d recommend that you have along with you.
The In General Stuff:
1. Decent Sized Bag: Bring a knapsack or schoolbag or a sizable messenger bag. You never know what you might purchase or be given depending on your discussions along the way. A schoolbag might be a little clunkier but I tend to prefer to have more room than less myself.
2. Empty Clear Sandwich Bags: Lots of the big booths do giveaways of buttons or stickets and assorted thingies. I’ve secured them for ease of finding once its all over by tossing them all into one of the clear baggies.
3. Sustenance Part 1: It doesn’t hurt to bring along a couple of energy bars or perhaps a peanut butter sandwich if you can eat peanuts. The Javits Center gets expensive and you might prefer your money go to vendors instead of concessions. I also have taken small baggies of honey nut cheerios, unsalted Saltines or peanuts along with me. Just to give a quick energy boost. Sure a candy bar might be fine but we don’t always need the empty sugar in our systems.
4. Sustenance Part 2: A single bottle of water will suffice because you can fill it up at assorted points during the convention. Maybe just bring one of the empty water bottles that you might use in the gym or on excursions during your normal day.
5. Hand Cleanser: Purell or something similar. It never hurts to be clean. Sometimes I’ve seen friends carrying a small packet of wipes. Those work too.
6. Aspirin: Just in case you get headaches easily or that the convention becomes too much for you.
7. Body Spray: Sometimes the heat of a place like Javits can find people feeling a little ripe. I mean no insult to say if this is you on a regular basis that you should bring along a spray of some kind to use just in case.
8. Technology Part 1: A fully charged mobile device. It doesn’t hurt to update it before you head into the convention either in terms of the apps you use all day. This same logic applies to your tablet or if you are bringing along a laptop.
9. Technology Part 2: The cords to charge said mobile device at one of the numerous spaces around the convention you can use should the juice run low. I also bring along an external battery which is wonderful since it let’s me also charge up my camera on the fly.
10. Camera: You don’t have to bring a big ole rig out with you but sometimes a small point and shoot will do the trick during the convention should you want to get more images and not have everything on your mobile device. Be sure to have this charged and with a clean SD card. Double check that you have the SD card in the device since the closest Best Buy is not too close at all in comparison.
11. Money. Need I say more? Most vendors accept credit cards so if you are points crazy like me just use that.
12. Umbrella: Hey if you have a schoolbag with you this is a non-issue and I always tend to carry one nowadays.
13. Comfortable shoes: Last convention it was tallied that I walked a sum total of 20 miles across the four days. It actually might have been slightly higher but I cannot locate my reference to this at the time of this posting. So with that said you are going to want to be good to your feet.
14. Reading Material: A comic book, a magazine or a novel will all suffice. You might want to take a break from the madness and sit down somewhere. Continue reading Guidelines For A Seamless New York Comic Con→
