My 16th birthday was on August 13th, 2016!! My dad dressed up as Paul Stanley (My favorite band member) at my party AND got me 6th row tickets to the KISS concert in West Virginia on September 10th, 2016 which is his birthday!! We are going to the concert together and I know it will be amazing!! I can't wait to see what's in store for me!! Also, it will be my first KISS concert ever!!
My 3 month old kitten,Rescue,wants the world to know who his favorite musician is.
This is something don't normally take time to do but felt I needed to. I attended your concert in State College, PA with my husband and our family to celebrate his 50th birthday. Wanted to thank you for the best concert ever!! It was about 20 years ago the last time you were here and we didn't go. My husband has always regretted that so when I seen you were gonna be here the day b-4 his b-day I surprised him with tickets!! After seeing you last night now I regret we waited so long. Wanted to thank you for such an amazing show!! I'm telling everyone I know that you are a must see! We all had a blast was the best gift I could have given him, thank you!!!
I can say honestly that it seems like I've been a KISS fan since I was born, and that was 1982. My dad was a collector and seller of all things KISS back in those days, so I was surrounded by everything imaginable. From the mego dolls, to Halloween costumes, lunchboxes, trash cans...literally every item that KISS marketed. Come on, how many kids can say that they had a 1978 KISS Bally Pinball machine in their bedroom! Well, as time has progressed, my love for KISS has progressed as well. No, I can't say that I have nearly as much stuff as my dad once did, but my passion for the band is greater than ever. I'm not so much into collecting all of the merchandise as I am more meaningful items, such as autographs and pictures with each surviving member. I have had the honor of meeting Gene, which is the picture attached, as well as meeting Ace, have obtained the autographs of seven members of KISS, and been to two KISS shows in the past six years. It is now 2016 and my dream is coming true of doing a Meet and Greet with the band in Richmond, VA. As an ARMY Guard Veteran of Iraq, the only thing that would have been better than that is to be a roadie for a day. Unfortunately, I never found out how to apply for that through the Hiring Heroes website...but either way, I will take the opportunity to meet KISS any way I can get it.
I was going through some old polaroids and found some great shots of me as a young KISS fan. I was 6 in 1976 and been a KISS fan ever since the age of 5. I'm now 45. The 1977 shot is of me celebrating my birthday with a Gene Simmons cake. The 1978 shots are of course the now famous vintage halloween costumes. I still have mine! As a kid you were super heroes to me. That magic can never be duplicated again. As an adult that magic is still there and will continue. Thank you for all the past memories and new ones I'm making following the hottest band in the world! Great memories that I'd thought I'd share.
GENE, I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for time spent with my family at our meet and great in Rochester NY August 29th. You took time listen when I explained about being sick last year and how I wondered if I would ever see KISS again. The best was when I took the single photo with you in makeup, you squeezed me tight to you and said �glad you�re here and doing good�. Good stuff. One more reason I have been a devoted fan for 40 years. Thanks Again OOOOO YEAH
