Kiss,
AS a lifelong fan, when I heard about the opportunity to open for you in Houston in September I had to take a plunge and enter my band Evil Diesel. Our singer has MS and is a huge fan too. I approached a local newspaper to do a story on us and our battle of both the music and MS fronts and they did!

A week later I got a call from ABC news in Houston. They got a hold of the story and came out last Friday to my home and did a full story.

I sure hope we do get the opportunity to share the stage with our heroes in September

wounded warrior band

From: SSG(ret) Paul Delacerda on 07/11/2010
i wanted to take the time to let you know how inspiring you are that you spend time with our wounded veterans. As a combat disabled veteran myself i know how something like that can have a positive impact on a solider as he/she goes through the healing process. I too want to be able to do just that and help my fellow soldiers heal through the power of music. So I started the first ever all combat wounded disabled band named Warrior Spirit, every member will be disabled and combat wounded and overcame a disability to play music. I have one member that has a prosthetic arm and plays guitar amazingly well .I'm currently in the process of trying to find the next member of this very unique band and help others experience the power of healing through music. We want to show the true spirit of our nations wounded warriors by showcasing their talents. As we search for the next warrior spirit member we also will take the time to tell our stories and what it took to overcome our disability and push forward with life and music. During our nationwide search and tour we would love to spend time with those that just began their journey at the hospitals and Warrior Transition Units around the services. We can take that time to display our talents and give the gift of music and show how we can be inspiring for others. The road starts the day the soldier gets injured and Warrior Spirit wants to walk that road beside those that gave so much as we did for our country. Through sponsors we can give much needed comfort items and maybe an instrument or two to help start the healing through the power of music! Thanks for the inspiration and support of our troops!!! ROCK ON!!

MY DAUGHTER'S
GAME
Subject: MY DAUGHTER'S KISS GAME
From: Mitch Alexander on 07/11/2010
Dear KISS, staff, and fans:
My daughter Elizabeth created a KISS game for a third grade project. It includes a pop-up musical KISS stage, KISS concert cards, and KISS trivia cards. It uses the figurines of the four band members from the 2009 stage set (Toys R Us). The object is to be the first player to reach the STAGE. The first player to press the button on the stage that plays "Rock and Roll All Nite" wins. The concert cards include all sorts of rock n roll mishaps like the opening act leaves the tour - lose 1 turn. The Trivia cards are based on basic KISS trivia, such as, "True or False - KISS has a comic book that was printed with their own blood?" There is even an "In the Studio" trap that causes the unfortunate player to miss 2 turns unless they roll the correct number to get out. I thought you might enjoy pictures of a fan created game. We've played it many times and always enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Mitch Alexander

I have been a Kiss fan since I bought my first 45 in the last 70's. I have been to many concerts over the years but this is the first one with my 8 year old son. The last time you played MoOntage, Wilkes-Barre, Pa ,I was in row 3 and ended up in the first row. I am trying to get seats as close to you guys in Hersey or Montage so he can experience what I did. Thanks for all the years of great music and letting a father enjoy it with his son....Priceless...
