Letters

Then and Now,,,,, Back in 1978, I got my first KISS album, Rock and Roll Over. As time passed my friends and I used our allowances and bought every album we could find. In the 1982, KISS announced the "Creatures of the Night" tour and after some begging and pleading my parents got me a ticket. On 30 Jan 1983, I was finally seeing KISS live and it was more than I could have asked for, an awesome display, the stage was frikkin� tank. I mean come on, who does that? As it would have it and through the years I would see KISS numerous more times, but there was always a thought that I had missed out on the original four, and then in 1996 it happen. Oh my god, KISS reunited a true KISS Army member�s dream. I attended 4 shows on that tour and 4 more on the Farewell Tour. I actually thought that was the last time I would see my childhood heroes perform live then��Sonic Boom and Alive 35 were announced. After looking up all the information I could, I discovered a Meet and Greet package was being offered. At the present time, I am full time student on a limited income but with this once in a lifetime deal staring me in the face, I had to buy the package. On 28 Oct 2009, I got to meet KISS�.words were hard to come by as I got to speak to each member, but it was really cool that Gene and I shared a laugh about raising our teenage daughters. As the event staff tried to hustle everyone through quickly, KISS took their time with each fan. We were there to see them and they acted as though they were there to see us. The show was amazing, I sat 2nd row, center stage and enjoyed it just as I did in 1983. Thank you KISS for making this a treasured memory and dream come true.
