Today: TTPM’s “Holiday Showcase” @ Metropolitan Pavilion
Hello once again my friends and welcome to another announcement about what is going on in the creative command center as I continue to use this platform to share some of the latest news about what the Ken Pierce Media family of brands is getting involved in. Yesterday I attended the Toy Insider’s awesome “Holiday Of Play” event over at Current at Chelsea Piers and today we would be shining some media light on the TTPM Holiday Showcase. For those who aren’t up to speed, “TTPM” stands for “Toys, Tots, Pets and More” and much like the Toy Insider events, a number of major and up and coming toy companies present their wares to select media and those who might be considered influencers. This year the event will be happening over at the Metropolitan Pavilion which is a welcome space for me. Last time around the Affordable Art Fair was being hosted there but this year that event will begin next week so it was open. I like this space and come to a number of different events here across the year. At the time of this writing, I only know about a small handful of exhibitors who mentioned they would be there after talking to them yesterday.

Today: The Toy Insider’s “Holiday Of Play” 2023 @ Chelsea Piers Current
Greetings my Friends and welcome back to another announcement about our most current adventuring. So I guess I’ve been using the Ken Pierce Media site as a bit of a launch point about what the pair of creative sites are getting up to and I have to say that this has been working out fine for me on each and every occasion. Historically speaking, when PiercingMetal would be heading to New York Comic Con I would share the news there and maybe over on “The Chronicles” if I remembered but now with this as our editorial “Executive Branch” I’m trying to do them here from the onset. With that said its time to share the news that I am returning to the Chelsea Piers event space known as “Current” to participate in the annual Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” event. I’ve been attending the special events held by this team of experts for years and with each go round it just gets better and better. I’ve pointed out that this one is even more exclusive than their “Sweet Suite” which happens in the summertime and while it isn’t exactly Fall just yet, the time to decide on ones holiday purchases is now and this is the place to learn about all that is awesome from the folks who know about play. Their hashtag is #weknowplay after all.

Today Is The Second Annual National Cinema Day
Today is the second annual National Cinema Day and that means that in participating theaters, you can see every movie that they are currently showing for $4. Yes I wrote four dollars and how awesome is that when you consider the usual median price is upwards of $15 depending on where you see your films.
Last year I watched “Bullet Train” for my cinema day offering and while I debated trying to catch something else that day I was just a little beat and decided to head home instead. My plan is to hit one of the earlier matinees to avoid an overwhelming crowd. This year the offerings are pretty interesting and feature the blockbusters like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” along with the fun-filled action films like “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem”, “Blue Beetle” and “Meg 2”. Each theater offers up some unique spin in some neighborhoods but these are currently the staple releases playing just about everywhere. At the time of this posting I am on the fence about seeing “Barbie” or “Meg 2”. “Oppenheimer” is a long film so I might wait for streaming on that one and I just saw “Blue Beetle” and can say that it deserves a better reception than its been getting. While I do love the Turtles I will also wait for streaming when it comes to that one.
What will you be seeing for the second ever National Cinema Day? Chime in down below and enjoy yourself.
