Kim aka Christine16

I was first introduced to KISS by a friends older brother, I was 8, I think he was 16. My friend, Katie, showed me her brothers albums (it was the first one - KISS) and when I saw that cover I thought WOW! I had to hear it. So for my 9th birthday I asked my mom to buy me a KISS album or David Bowie, I did like the song "Fame". I put on my newly opened Destoyer record and, out went the disco, David Bowie was forgotten. I was hooked. I had parties in the backyard, dragging 2x4's for a dance floor division, and the only stipulation was you had to like KISS! As for my first concert well, Creatures of the Night came out and that's all I listened to. I was in grade 7, I beg my stepfather to get tickets, he surprised me after school one day. Only thing they wouldn't let me go downtown by myself so the whole family was going! My stepfather, mom, sister, stepbrother, and myself. The Headpins opened up for KISS, the stage was a giant tank. Into KISS's first set a kid was hit with a bottle and was taken out, that did my mom in. So my stepfather, mom and sister sat in the lobby trying to calm my mom down. My brother and I had the best experience ever, nothing, no live concert has ever matched what we experienced and never will. My sister has never seen a KISS concert because she was comforting my mom. She is a big KISS fan and is infatuated with Paul Stanley. I had the pleasure of seeing KISS again in 96 with my husband, he's a big Van Halen fan, but is amazed with the KISS shows, but who wouldn't be!!! It's the best experiences of my life seeing them live they are one of a kind, I'd love for my kids to see them and also my sister who deserves to see them finally!
