Over 1,000 KISS fans celebrated KISS on Sunday at the annual Indianapolis KISS Fan Expo! Fan's spent the day catching up with old friends, shopping for KISS merchandise & collectibles, and meeting KISS drummer Eric Singer!

Eric Singer is a true professional! He spent over nine hours signing autographs and visiting with the fans at the KISSOnline booth! He did not leave until he met the last person in line at 9:15 PM! Eric also thrilled the crowd by performing "Beth" for a great cause, the Red Cross fund for Japan! The Expo fan's helped KISSOnline raise over $2200.00 for the Red Cross!



Here are some photos taken by Eric McKenna for KISSOnline.

We'll have another report with more photos on the INDY KISS EXPO soon.

Over the past week, KISSonline's Facebook page has exploded with feedback about the band's recent shows in Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida! Here's a sampling:

The Houston Chronicle reports, "It was obvious that the KISS Army took over the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Tuesday. Even bullfighter Cory Wall decided to sport the famous makeup during his routine prior to the bull-riding competition."

KISS at RODEOHOUSTON - Tuesday, March 15 at Reliant Stadium.

A condom maker is taking the truism "sex sells" very literally.

A new line of the contraceptives puts advertising not just on the wrapper, but the latex itself.

Graphic Armor Inc.'s new Picture Condoms meet all FDA requirements and it claims they're the first to feature full-color images on the latex. They're starting with a condom branded with the rock band Kiss that shows Gene Simmons' tongue unfurled. Another Kiss version featuring bandmate Paul Stanley is slated for June.

Adam Glickman, CEO of condom retailer Condomania, says the creators are in talks with entertainment companies, energy drinks and designers to put logos and messages on the condoms.

They come in a 3-pack for $7.99.

KISS,

My girlfriend Katrina and I competed in a local Iron Chef competition in Redding California. “Country” attire was suggested but we decided to add a big dose of ROCK by dressing as Gene and Paul!

KISS truly is everywhere! I went to see the new movie "Rango" with my 10 year old son last night, and there is a part where the main character (Rango) is describing the Spirit of the West. He is drawing wildly against the dark sky with a smoldering stick (you'd have to see the movie...), and when he is finished you see what he has made. I thought that it was SO COOL that there was a KISS logo in the drawing! Look for it to the left of the "carriage"!

Keep rockin' guys, and we can't wait to see you again here in Washington DC! Looking forward to the new album! I've been a loyal fan for over 30 years!!!
