Since so much has happened over these last few months I don’t expect everyone to remember every move or activity we do here at the Media Command HQ but it is without question that we love doing the conventions and trade shows. I’m talking about the New York Comic Con, Toy Fair, Anime NYC and even the New York International Auto Show, NY Now and more. After so many of them cancelling because of the pandemic, I’m eager to get back to proper activity but this year has proven to be a crapshoot and its still weird so our friends at the Toy Insider are going virtual once again and extended PiercingMetal and its companion website “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” an invite to their second “Sweet Suite @Home” affair. It would be laid out in the same fashion as the 2020 affair which while fun was a tad confusing to get used to at the onset. This time around I prepped well in advance with the vendors I needed to “see” and was thinking I’ve gotten the hang of it all.

Finland’s own Symphonic wonder Nightwish have just announced a pair of special livestream events for next March. As you know these kinds of things aren’t new news anymore but we are finding bigger and bigger bands making this jump because touring just isn’t possible right now. We recently learned that KISS was going to do one (discussed HERE) and also the magnificent Trans-Siberian Orchestra as well (discussed HERE and happening tomorrow evening). Now let’s examine the bands announcement from their social networking.

Greetings Legions, its time for another one of those signpost narratives because I am here to tell you about another awesome virtual adventure that was documented over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” website. Over the summer, you might have remembered my sharing the news that the annual Toy Insider “Sweet Suite” event had gone virtual based on the inability to properly host in-person events due to the virus. It was fun and I made the best of it and as expected, their annual holiday event would follow suit based on these same considerations. That being said the first-ever “Holiday Of Play @ Home” would be presented and this event is on a smaller scale than the summer event based on it being succinctly focused on their holiday lists.
