Finally there is a KISS Day!!!!

Pictured below is the actual Governor's Proclamation that he presented to KISS in Sturgis, South Dakota on Monday, August 4. It reads as follows:

"Whereas, The legendary rock band KISS has sold more than more than 80 million albums, charted 34 gold records and inspired countless bands with their trademark face paint, costumes and sound; and,

"Whereas, KISS, whose classic hit 'Rock And Roll All Nite' became a rock anthem for an entire generation of fans; and,

"Whereas, KISS has tirelessly supported the brave men and women who wear the uniform of the United States of America with performances, base visits, and video tributes; and,

"Whereas, KISS is kicking off the Sturgis Rally with a concert that includes all the incredible pyrotechnics and fireworks display for which the band is famous; and,

"Whereas, The Mount Rushmore State, home of the four great faces carved from rock, welcomes four more great faces who made rock history:

"Now, Therefore, I, M. Michael Rounds, Governor of the state of South Dakota, do hereby proclaim August 4, 2008, as KISS ROCK & ROLL DAY in South Dakota, and I join their families, fans and friends in wishing KISS a memorable day.

"In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of South Dakota, in Pierre, the Capital City, this Fourth Day of August in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Eight."

The document was signed by Governor Michael Rounds and Secretary of State Chris Nelson.

Wooohooo! Do we get the day off from work?

By this time next year, expect Mr. Simmon$ to have a full line of KISS Day greeting cards available at a Hallmark store near you.

Speaking of KISS days... according to today's paper, it's Gene Simmons' 59th (!) birthday today. Happy Birthday, you big ole demon you.

this forum wouldn't be this forum without a Kiss thread on the first page.

Party on

You know, just the other day I was telling the guys at work that there's nothing to look forward to in August- and, BAM!! Now there is!

you would never tell he was 59 the way they still rock out on stage
