Piercing Ken Thoughts: Obviously we are a little far from the Land Of The Rising Sun over here in Brooklyn, NY but Japan is a place that I long to visit along with Finland, Sweden, Netherlands and Iceland. Yeah I don’t get to too many place as you can see but that being said, I will still do my best to rally the charge when I learn about something cool going on from venue owners that we’ve dealt with on our side of the fence. If you are one of our readers from over there or even someone here who chooses to participate in these live streams, I hope that you enjoy them. I’d ask to come over and enjoy them with you but we are not in the clear from this virus yet so I am going nowhere for the time being. See you next time.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Though the Coronavirus Pandemic is not as bad as it was some weeks ago, I am not surprised to find this event cancelled since its massive and brings in thousands and thousands of attendees. At this point its still better to be safe than sorry and while I was really looking forward to attending, the circumstances have found it to be impossible. There is a part of me that feels no large-scale event will be happening this year and that is going to suck but its better than getting a deadly virus. Stay healthy out there my readers, I will keep doing these posts to keep you engaged and entertained in a very precarious time. See you again soon.
