THE CHARITY RUN!
KISSONLINE FAN LETTER
KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Hey Guys!

I recently ran the world's biggest half marathon (the Great North Run in the UK) as The Demon, and I can't tell you how great the experience was! It was like being in The Beatles! (Or KISS!) The crowd response was totally amazing - there's such love for KISS out there! as you probably know! - and I got totally papped too! Interviewed for TV and radio, repeatedly photographed, and even made the BBC's one minute (one minute!) round up of the whole event here - blink and you'll miss me at 14 secs: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/14966843.stm.

It was a little bit tough running 13 miles in the face paint, suit and wig - Hotter Than Hell, in fact, but it was all worth it! Especially as I was doing it for charity, myself and my friend Clare raising over $2000 for Children With Cancer. I hope to do more KISS fundraising soon! Maybe I'll come out and run the New York Marathon in costume! Maybe I can even get four of us to do it, with the whole of KISS running a marathon! (Has that happened before?) Anyway hope to get to meet you guys some day!

Maybe when you play the UK next! In the meantime I'll continue to help spread the word of Kiss as well as raise more money for worthy charities!

MINI-GOLF COURSE TO OPEN IN MARCH
By Delen Goldberg

The holes are being drilled, the artificial turf laid, and the props — most notably a giant, starred boot and oversized Gene Simmons head with gaping mouth — placed.

KISS by Monster Mini Golf, an indoor putt-putt course themed after the iconic glam-rock band, will open March 15 at The Shoppes at Harmon Square, owners announced this week.

The miniature golf course was supposed to debut at the end of this year and then in January, but the project’s Facebook page said the opening was postponed by a series of unspecified construction hitches. The new grand opening date coincides with the anniversary of the band’s “Destroyer” album, released March 15, 1976.

Monster Mini Golf, which runs 25 mini-golf courses nationally, signed a 10-year, $3 million lease with the strip mall at Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road. The indoor course will feature 18 holes with custom glow-in-the-dark KISS props, a video game arcade, a KISS gallery, the “Hotter Than Hell” Wedding Chapel, a private VIP room, the “Rock ’n’ Roll All Nite” Cafe and what’s billed as the largest KISS gift shop in the world. A live DJ will play KISS music and staff will lead customers in KISS trivia contests with prizes.

Mega-fans can even immortalize themselves in the venue’s decor. For a $20 fee, owners will post a business-card sized photo of you or a loved one in KISS gear on a restaurant or party room wall. Forty bucks will buy you a jumbo print. Big spenders can shell out $1,500 to have their photos displayed in digital frames at the start of holes Nos. 2 through 17, while the most dedicated fans can spend $5,000 to be featured at the first hole, dedicated to Paul Stanley, or the last hole, an homage to Simmons.

15 YEARS OF MAS TREE ORNAMENTS


Our family put our Christmas tree up last night and part of it is, of course, a KISSmas tree! We found some of the new ornaments at Walgreens last week and love adding to our collection each year. The oldest one we have on the tree is from the Alive/Worldwide tour in 1996.

-THEMED ELF IN THE OFFICE
KISSONLINE LETTERS
I work in a public library, and we had a lawn gnome elf "watching over" us this year. It moves from office to office, and when it reaches yours, you have to decorate it.

Here's what happened when it reached my office.

BOOTS CONTINUE TOUR OF VEGAS
Frank Marino Featured in "These Boots Are Made For Rockin!" Campaign

Dubbed Ms. Las Vegas, Frank Marino’s role as Joan Rivers made him a widely recognized icon in female impersonation and the perfect DIVA to strut in the KISS boots for “These Boots Are Made For Rockin!” campaign (Photo: © Erik Kabik/ RETNA/ www.erikkabik.com).

FANS '' FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!
KISSONLINE FAN LETTERS
KISS + CFL Champions = AWESOME!

The Hewkarskis attended the Canadian Football League's championship game in Vancouver. We mixed our love of the BC Lions with KISS and here is the rockin' blaze-orange result! The whiskers on Mr. Hewkarski's face are actually his magnificent moustache. We got many high-fives from fellow KISS fans at the Grey Cup - plus, the BC Lions won the game! P.S. We saw Gene and his beautiful wife and kids in the Grey Cup parade - lookin' good!
