Just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you I love your new show. My two sons are also big KISS fans. Travis is eight and Eric is five. Here is a picture of them dress up on Halloween 2006. Can you tell who Travis is?

I know you love being yourself, but do you ever look at yourself and see something you don't like, or are you different from all other Human Beings? Wait, I already know the answer to this one. Its not so much just wanting to find a negative in every situation, but people are curious as to what you have that few others do.

Response from Gene:
Everyone should have 'self love." Period. How anybody else feels about that is besides the point.
I just saw on a local Louisville TV station that you will be coming to the Kentucky Derby. They had a picture from your Asshole cd on the tv....too bad the other people mentioned in the announcement are not cool like you.

Response from Gene:
Yes. I will.
Gene --
Today someone wrote about the band Apologetix doing a parody of "Rock and Roll All Nite." Did you know that they're a "Christian band" and they take secular songs, re-write the lyrics to be "christianese" and record and perform them? Cheezy, cheezy, cheezy. Doesn't that bother you at all?

Response from Gene:
No. Each to their own. Just don't knock on my door and tell me your belief is real and mine is not.
Gene,
Just a money making idea for you. Casting material (for setting broken bones) with the KISS logo. Or maybe a brand of band-aids with the KISS logo on them. You know, "KISS your booboo's.
Best regards,
Gary Hammon
Response from Gene:
Ok. Let's assume no one else has thought of your ideas. I have a few questions.
Who is going to put up an advance (money paid to the rights holder = us)
Recoupable against royalties earned.
What is the royalty.
Who is manufacturing.
Who is distributing/promoting/advertising.
What is the price of goods.
You want me to go on????
Until you can answer these and other questions, ideas mean next to nothing.
The World's Shortest Fairytale
Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy, "Will you marry me? The guy saidn "No" and the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank martinis with friends, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and handbags, stayed skinny, and was never farted on.
The End
Response from Gene:
Even shorter fairy tale:
Guy asks a girl to marry him. She says no.
He lives happily ever after.
Hi Gene,
I was working on my website and thought you might enjoy this Halloween scrapbook page of my kids:
---Renee and the Mini Fans
I was just wondering what the recipe is for Gene's breakfast that has oatmeal, cottage cheese and splenda? He said it was healthy.
Thanks,

Response from Gene:
That IS the recipe. Maybe a little Lite Whipped Cream. Now mix and eat (add cinnamon on top).
Gene,
A friend of mine said about you:
"High, who knows. Does he drink, abslutely. Liar. When I met him he was drinking champange. Was he straight, probably. Slightly buzzed? Possibly."
And you say....?

Response from Gene:
Beware of your friend. He has an ulterior motive. Translation: He lies.
There simply is no reason for me to say I'm straight, when society thinks it's so much cooler if I drink. There is an entire culture of beer drinking on campuses, high class people go on wine tasting trips to Napa Valley. All nonsense.
I don't drink and have never been drunk in my life.
Let's make this interesting. I will put any amount of money into escrow -- your friend has to do likewise. We pick a city and time convenient for both of us. I show up and a lie detector asks me the question "Have you ever been drunk." I answer. "No."
Result? I walk away with his money.
Let's see your friend put his money where my mouth is.
Hey Gene,
Was that really you on the cover of Night Ranger's second album? If so, why did you do it?

Response from Gene:
No.
Hi Gene
I read the write up and GENE SIMMONS HOUSE OF HORRORS looks great! 'The basement' sounds cool, with Aleister Crowley and the alien.
It is agreed within occult circles that Crowley intentionally opened a portal of entry via magick ritual which allowed an extraterrestrial entity named Lam passageway onto the earth-world. (I can hear Gene say, 'flake.') LOL Anywho...
Cheers,
Peter
Response from Gene:
"Flake". Don't believe that stuff. Aliens on other planets laugh their heads off watching human beings who believe God looks human, and ghosts look human, and demons only want human souls. The Aliens look at each other and shrug. "What fools these mortals be." Shakespeare.
Gene,
Thought you might get a laugh out of this photo.
Thanks,
Brian Schroeder
