"Best Coffee Shop Of The Grand Strand"

As officially announced by NBC earlier this morning, I am very proud and honored to announce that for the 2nd time in 2 years, the KISS Coffeehouse has been voted "Best Coffee Shop Of The Grand Strand" by NBC's Myrtle Beach (& surrounding area) viewers over a 60 mile stretch along the North & South Carolina shoreline/beaches; winning, once again, over the likes of Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, The Donut Man, and many, many other local coffee shops & cafes!

This is only the 2nd year of NBC's annual competition, and the KISS Coffeehouse has won "Best Coffee Shop" both consecutive years! And this year, nearly 3X the number of viewers/voters (over 32,000) turned out to cast their votes for the city's best businesses in over 65 categories!

Here's to a great 2010, and to an even better 2011!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Hello KISS!

The Spanish version of Classic Rock Magazine, the biggest and best-selling rock magazine In Spain, asked us about writing an article to commemorate the 30 year of the first Aussie Tour, and we did it!

Here is a scan of our six-page KISS Aussie tour article. This is a great success for us! Text and memorabilia pictures were contributed by Fernando Martinez and Javier Rueda of www.kissarmyspain.com for This Is Rock Magazine. KISS pictures provided by Getty Images.

Hope you like it. The issue, January 2011 #79, also includes a Tommy Thayer 4-page interview.

Hi KISS!

I took this picture in Guayaquil, Ecuador.This is an "ano viejo".... every year the poor people make special sculptures to give thanks to the past year. They burn it at midnight the first of January! The experience is incredible!

Enjoy it!
