My daughter Jade and I at the Baron Dealership in Merriam, Kansas! THIS CAR ROCKS!

Gene, I recently had the opportunity of a lifetime to get to meet you and the rest of the band at the auto show, at the Javits center, NYC. I was working at the Javits that week setting up for the show when I got word that Kiss would be doing an appearance for a charity cause. I was coming off a 12 hour shift ,and stayed an extra 4 hours just to get a chance to see the band face to face. I stood there, the lone fan amongst a small group of of 3 or 4 photographers in the small vestibule by the elevator ,waiting for the doors to open , As Tommy walked by, he shook my hand , said what's up, and as you were whisked by, I said " what's up Gene?", and you replied "just another day above ground". After the presentation, I was hanging out back stage to hopefully get a picture with the band, but to my disappointment , I didn't get the chance, being it was such a small , intimate venue,and it was tightly scheduled, it was kind of choatic. But my disappointment quickly faded, when i heard a voice of one of my co-workers ask from within the choas if you would take a photo with his little boy. You literally stopped in your tracks , and said "of course I will ! " Then proceeded to take a photo with the boy and his father. I gained a whole new respect for you that day. Ive come across alot of celebrities over the years , and more times than not , they will walk right by you , and not give you a second glance. The fact that you stopped to take the time for that man and his boy, amongst all the confusion, to me, was impressive. I've always respected you as a musician , but now I respect you as a person as well. I figured I would share a good Kiss story with the fans . Even though I didnt get a picture with you , and will probably never get the chance to meet you face to face again, My experience was a positive one , as you showed that you can be famous , and still be human. Just wanted let you know it didnt go unnoticed. God bless. Chris G.

I cannot tell you or anyone how cancer affects your life. These people in Georgia should get a very big pat on the back for doing what thery are doing. I have tried to keep mine low keyed for the past two years, but word got out and I have been working with CWC (Children with Cancer, before I got diagnosed. ) No pat on the back for me, don't need it, the kids do. I have been friends with the band for almost 40 years, Yes Debbie and myself are still married, do the math, keep up the good work and the belief, And I Love you all for your drive for this cause.... Shayne Harris, Drummer for "Luger"

Hey KISS - My name is Rustin Klein and in honor of one of my KISS friends, I made a screen grab of both of us from a 24 year-old video shoot for Crazy, Crazy Nights. In the red circle is Guy Young and I am in front of him in a blurred frenzy! Happy Birthday Guy!!

Hi guys. Just wanted to share with you a poster we made for an upcoming show. I wish they had REALLY let me wear Kiss make up in my 3rd grade school picture! I was already a full fledged member of the Kiss Army by that point, and have been ever since. Play more from Creatures! Joe Philly

At a recent photo session we were asked to do a theme. What better theme than KISS? Chrissy
