Dear KISS, Thank you thank you thank you for coming to Oshawa, Ontario, Canada! I have been a fan since I received a poster from my cousin when I was probably 5 yrs old (yes I still have it, and yes, it's pretty beat up). More importantly I grew up outside a small town called Orono, Ontario, and my best friend Roy (who lived 2 doors away) and I loved KISS from day 1. We both would pretend to be KISS, he was Gene, and I was Ace, and we pretty much made other kids be Paul and Peter. Our town was about 20 minutes from Oshawa, and at that time, if you wanted to do anything or buy anything, Oshawa was the place you had to go (on special occasions, maybe Toronto). We dreamed that one day, KISS would come to rock Oshawa, and hoped that we would be old enough to see that happen when it did. It seems we had to wait nearly 30 years, and experience some life to get to see it, but the wait was worth it. He and I (yes we still chat from time to time) will be there, at GM Centre, ready for KISS. The only question really is if KISS will be ready for Oshawa! I owe the people of Oshawa, and all the surrounding areas thanks above all others. Without all those votes (mine included), Roy's and my dream might never have come true. So thank you, Oshawa Rock City Army members. You/we win!
