Hi Kiss Army! When I showed up at the famous Centre St-Ambroise in Montreal, Canada last Thursday, I thought he was just meeting friends for a drink. What a surprise I got when I realized the entire hall had been rented for my 40th birthday party. But it wasn't just any birthday, my wife knew me better than that, it was a KISS THEME PARTY. KISS ME... I'M 40 birthday. What happens when a bunch of friends get together to celebrate a birthday party with a kiss theme... MADNESS. A make-up artist was hired to encourage people to go all out and get the KISS make-up they've always wanted. Some of Montreal's best singer/songwriters were invited to play a few songs (Rob Lutes, David Martel, Max Comeau) but there was one condition: They had to play a kiss song. Fantastic versions of See you tonite, Everytime I look at you, I was made for Lovin' you and Beth were sang with personal twists that will be remembered forever. Then came the cake... and of course, a KISS cake was presented. There was one slight change, the cake sported a recent shot of Tommy, Eric, Paul and Gene but Gene's face had been photoshop'ed out and replaced with my face. A night to remember. I've seen Kiss play shows in 4 different countries. I always want to be in the first five rows of every show (THE BEST WAY TO INTERACT WITH THE BAND) and am a proud member of the Kiss army since 1979. I will remember my 40th birthday party forever! Rock on Kiss. Rock on!
