From Dave: I just came back from my two 5-night KISS Kruises last Thursday. Had a great time. Too many stories to tell. I got a free pair of Gene Simmons Moneybag Sneakers. It was actually Sophie Simmons who handed them to me. The pics are posted on my FB page.
I also got to meet Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and Gene Simmons on the ship after a friend of mine bought each of their instruments. Plus he bought one of Paul's guitars. He was allowed to bring a guest to the meet & greet. That's how I was able to meet them. He must have spent at least $15,000 (if not more) on 3 guitars, a drum and I think he also bought another one of Paul's paintings.
Some guy bought a petrified piece of sh*t from Mexico. I was right there near the stage when Gene signed it for him. The pics are on my FB page. Too funny!
