Gene Simmons at the Oxford Valley Mall...photos.

KISS ARMY - 
I was digging through some boxes in my KISS room this weekend and came across these photos, buried away because they represent one of the very few "bad" experiences that I have had with KISS.

2006, Gene Simmons was appearing at the Oxford Valley Mall to promote the  new KISS cologne.  

I was fourth or fifth in line, having waited all day.  After Gene appreared on stage, moments before the line started to move, an announcement was made that Gene would "only sign the cologne bottles"... nothing else!  
Everyone had cool things for Gene to sign:  vintage photos, tour books, posters, and more, but we were told that we couldn't even bring those items on stage with us or we would be thrown out of the line.

As you can see in the photos, I was so angry that I argued with Gene about it.  Not my finest moment. And yes, if you were there, you were probably one of the people boooo-ing me for holding up the line.
I tried, KISS ARMY.  I tried.

But you still settled for the lousy cologne! Heard the story on The KISS Room, and the pictures live up to the legend of the tale.

Oh man, I got home at 4:00 a.m. after my shift on New Year's, and noticed there was a new KST online. With the title 'New Year's Rockin' Eve,' I was scared it would be commentary on an old Dick Clark Program.

I cracked one, (I mean a beer,) and perked up when I realized this was a 2014 recap episode.... But when Matt Porter strolled in later in the show, that really made my night! I could have sworn you were on there before, but my head mixes and matches the KISS podcasts and voices.

Anyway, it was a GREAT episode, and the quiz was hilarious, especially when you asked "Is this the remedial quiz?" I was laughing so hard!
