Thanks for you're show in Saskatoon on Nov 10th. It was explosive to say the least. I've seen Kiss three times now in the last decade and you blow me away everytime. I have a small complaint however. We were lucky enough to get seats for the Saskatoon show which was difficult considering how fast it was sold out. Unfortunately, our seats were a bit behind the stage. Whatever, the show still rocked and I'd pay for the same seats again. But we were asked plenty of times by the usher to sit down so as people behind could see. We politely refused. There is no way I'm sitting down at a KISS show, I don't care if I'm first row or 40th row behind the stage. Anyway we were hounded all night by this usher to sit down. Maybe next time you come to Saskatoon(hopefully soon) you could educate the ushers on how to behave for a rock show. Maybe the ushers should be urging people that are sitting to get off their asses and get rocked.
Thanks again for an truly excellent show!

I am writing today to say thank you. To thank you for blowing the doors off of Target Center, for helping me celebrate my 40th birthday (Nov 4th) and to thank you for providing the opportunity for me to fulfill a fatherhood dream. Nov 7 2009 was the first ever concer for my two sons. From the day the first one was born I dreamt of being able to share this passion, this KISSTERIA disease I have with them. This year the stars finally alligned and they were both at an age were they could appreciate what they would see. They have been conditioned for this for years but when the bombs went off, fire shot to the roof, and the curtain dropped I think they finally understood. They even wore their "Sonic Boom" t-shirts to school the next school day (they go to a Christian school) and didn't even get kicked out! We are pictured here before the concert outside of Target Center from left to right Derrick, my awesome, supportive wife Mary, Odie, and me (Mike). This was my 14th time seeing you and Mary's 4th or 5th. Through the eyes of my kids, it was like the first time all over again. Can't wait for you to come back. Thanks again, Mike Shupe-Saint James Minnesota

Made My Dream Come True
Subject: KISS Made My Dream Come True
From: Jesse G on 11/11/2009
Hey KISS,
Ever since I was 11, I have been a huge fan of KISS. All I put on my Wish List's for my birthday, and christmas, was KISS Memorbillia. And, the only thing I would look for in stores was KISS CD's, Posters, Wall Busts, and much more. Thats when my KISS Kraze started. For school, i did a 20 minute long presentation about KISS followed by a video of the original line up doing Detroit Rock City. Everyone loved it.
Over the years, I have checked KISS Online everyday to find out if KISS was coming to Winnipeg, If you have gotten my letters and about new KISS Merchandise. One morning, I went on my computer and check out the website. As I read about Recent News on the site, I looked on the side of the screen where it said Demand Your City. I was bouncing off the walls. I went on everyday to demand Winnipeg for your Fan Based North American Tour, and as I went on everyday, we were in first place and I was so happy, until we were knocked out of first and bumped down to second. But, we are still the 2nd City with the most KISS fans, right behind Oshawa.
When tickets went on sale, i was in school, so at lunch I grabbed my cell phone and called my mom. When she picked up the phone I asked her "Did we get em? Did we get em?" My mom's voice dropped and said "Sorry bud, they are sold out." I was in so much dissappointment that I couldn't speak. All of a sudden, my mom screams on the phone "WERE IN ROW 2 RIGHT BESIDE GENE SIMMONS!!!" I was screaming my head off because of the excitement I was feeling.
Three months pass and November 9th came. I ran home from school, put on my makeup and wig and was ready for the concert. When we got to parking I was rushing my family and friends to the elevator so we could get to our seats so we didn't miss anything. When the lights turned off and the announcer said"Alright Winnipeg.....You wanted the best, you got the best, the hottest band in the world KISS!!!" I was screaming. I sang to every song in the show. And it was all I thought it would be.
KISS doesn't just put on a great show, they also make dreams come true! So thank you Paul, Gene, Eric and Tommy. You are all truly amazing people.
Your Fan,
Jesse G.

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say you guys put on an AWESOME show at MSG. I really can't find all the words to describe it. It was unbelievable rock and roll and I'm so honored and grateful to have been able to attend your concert. I also wanted to give Doc a big THANK YOU for taking the time to take a picture with me. It was a mad rush at the end of the concert but he took the time for me. He truly is a great man. I was also lucky enough to meet Tony and he stopped for a picture with me as well. Thanks again guys!! See you soon!

Hey KISS.. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for making one of my dreams come true. Finally, after being a die hard, dedicated and loyal fan for the past 35 years, (and will be so until I die and beyond) I met you at the October 10th show at Madison Square Garden. To add to that, I had front row....Autographed picture plus all four signed my ticket, another piece added to my KISS collection. Saw you at the coliseum the night before, and both shows were AWESOME!!!! The set list was amazing, MODERN DAY DELILAH...WOW... Tommy and Eric, thank you for making another era in KISSTORY... Hope when you come back for the SONIC BOOM Tour you do a lot more material from it, and different songs from the 70’s & 80's. GENE, would love to see you spit blood then go into ALMOST HUMAN, now there is a KISS KLASSIC!!!! Also, I am proud to say that I made my contribution to the next generation of KISS fans, with my 15 year old son Eric. Great name huh?
WE LOVE YOU

Dear KISS,
My dad has been a fan of the band since the beginning. I have never seen my dad so excited about a band in my life. When you toured with Aerosmith in 2003, we were lucky enough to get free tickets to the Las Vegas show. At first I was hesitant to go because I had never really known KISS, but I agreed because my dad hyped up your concerts. Making the decision to go see the show with my dad was probably one of the best decisions I have made. From the second you took the stage, I fell in love with everything you guys do. From the music to the performance, I have never experienced something like that before. I am happy to say that my dad and I will be seeing the Alive 35 show in Oakland in a couple weeks and it will be our 3rd show together. I am absolutely thrilled and would have loved to have done a Meet and Greet Package. Unfortunately, my parents are in a tight money spot with the economy, and being a college student, I couldn't afford it either. But I just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do. The shows I have seen are the best yet and I cannot wait to see what Alive 35 has in store. I would love to meet you guys, and I know my dad, who has been a fan since the very beginning, would love to as well. I wish there was a way and hopefully we will get the opportunity one day.
But once again, thank you for some amazing memories with my dad and I cannot wait to see you all in Oakland for Alive 35!
PS I wanna rock and roll all nite!!!!
