PiercingMetal Thoughts: Okay so let’s go through the list and let everyone know what we are going to be participating in. Now before I get into that information please know that I am NOT currently attending either of the final KISS performances at Madison Square Garden next weekend. I did request both of them with a photo credential for Night One and only a ticket for review for Night Two. My fingers are crossed for sure. Right off the bat I am going to hit the Pop-Up Store and do the kind of video that I did for the recent Metallica and Rolling Stones Pop-Up Stores and if you didn’t see those just click the hyperlinked text to watch them on our Official YouTube Channel. I’ll definitely be grabbing one of the KISS emblazoned Metrocards and how nice of the MTA to finally offer riders a positive experience. Since I am not a Rangers ticket holder its unlikely that I will be at the game unless someone out there reading this feels like treating their favorite scribe. I think the Prince Street Pizza is a fun idea but I will not be adding a pizza box to any of my KISS Collectibles but that said I sure do want to know what a KISS Pizza is all about. Though I don’t think I can swing the time for it, I like the idea of the temporary tattoos from Inked NYC. I wonder if they will be reminiscent of the ones from the classic “Alive II” album. If you have that one you know what I mean. Wrapping this up I wonder what interests you the most. Chime in down below and let me know what is on your mind. Let’s celebrate the KISSteria together 🙂
