Hey Gene,

I'm 11 years old and just wanted to say that I enjoy your music and hoping to meet you some day!! I play guitar and want to play in a band one day soon. This is me on Halloween (2004) and let me tell you, all the parents were giving me double the candy for such a great costume and a job well done!! I hope you enjoy the picture!!

I hope you come to Canada soon because I would love to meet you!! My parents love you too!!

I have been a KISS ARMY member since 1978. When I was five years old I had open heart surgery and KISS helped me make it through the rough times! Your first solo album is very sentimental to me. In 1995 I had a pace maker put in and had the opportunity to meet you at the Convention in Phoenix, AZ. You were everything I imagined you to be. I actually wrote to you in 1998 and sent you a letter. You called me, but I did not have call waiting and I actually have the recording you left me! The message you left was really from the heart and touched me deeply. I am now married with a three year old daughter. She is a KISS fan already! Here is a photo of her on Halloween dressed up as her favorite super hero "Gene Simmons". It brings me joy to see the positive influence you had on me is now transfering to her. To this day I have not been high or drunk and hope to teach my daughter to live the same way. Thanks for being a great influence on my family! In the words of J! imminy Cricket, "Dreams do come true".

God Bless,

We`re writing from Mexico City. I`m 33 years old, and I grew up with Kiss. I really got the best those years, and when you visited Mexico in `97 and `99 you took me to the greatest experience I`ve ever lived. Some other reasons didn`t allow me to be in the concert in August, but I really hope that you can visit this city again!

I send you a photo of Ana Julia, my 7 years old daughter, taken just yesterday. She saw some of the records and books I have form Kiss, and asked me who were you. I told her everything I know, and played the Alive II CD to her. She got most excited when she saw a video of the Reunion Tour, and when she saw you flying, she said, "I want to join Kiss to do that!!". When I asked about her costume for Halloween, she didn`t doubt " As Gene Simmons". Be sure you have in her another big fan!!

I really want to thank you for all you have given to us. Thank You Again!!

Overheard as part of the audience participation at the Halloween weekend showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Orpheum theater in Wichita, KS:

Scene - The Floor Show: The main curtain opens to Brad, Janet, Columbia, and Rocky who've been petrified by Dr. Franken-n-Furter's machine. Before the back curtain rises on Franken-n-Furter himself, this was heard in the audience:

"You wanted the best. You got the best -- The hottest band in the world: KISS !!"

It fit so well and got a few chuckles from the KISS fans in the audience.

Happy Halloween!
