Zachary "steals the show" at Kiss Expo this weekend

Part #1

The last few days were wonderful for Zachary and I. Well, especially Zachary seemingly it was HIS day. Long story, so I will try to be on target. Ok no use to ponder...here goes.

On Friday morning, we spent most of the day in the KISS Coffee House, shopping, and walking along the boardwalk. It was a pretty laid back day and Zachary, myself, and all of our new friends, in which seem like family, had a pretty fun time just being able to do whatever they wanted to . Later that evening, there was a VIP party to welcome Bruce Kulick and Lydia Criss back. Considering I had a pass, I was able to go and enjoy myself and mingle as well with them. I was very discreet with them both because I hold them in the most respect and admiration. There, I had the honor of meeting Bruce personally and speaking with him about Zachary. Amazingly enough, he remembered me and I was impressed regarding everything that occurred. We spoke for what seemed like a while to me; but I'm sure it wasn't. As the night progressed, I played it cool and mellow. I felt like even though Bruce walked over and said hello to me, not only proved that is a to have a huge heart, but he is a true and realistic person who remembers names, faces, and what matters most...in other words how you're connected and became friends.

Today was a new day, though. Well to begin with, we had a late start. Zachary's boots were ready to go and he was ready to metamorphize into Paul Stanley for the extra HUGE DAY. Our new friend, Leigh was happy to help turn him into the Paul Stanley we all know and love. Well, that was alot of fun. Zachary was perfectly still while receiving his professional make up application from THE DEMON GODDESS of BLACK DIAMOND GIRLS. Honestly, I knew he would be; but I think she was pretty amazed. After pics with THE BELLES, it was off to the EXPO. We arrived before Bruce, Keith, and Lydia and were able to walk around and give it a once over before all the excitement began.

Fantastic! Way ta go Zach! You never know... you might have a future as a rock muscian! Glad to hear you had fun at the expo... just wish we could have one up here in Alberta... lots of KISS fans up here... we just don't get to see them enough!

BTW... Lydia's book has a picture of the band on their first trip to Canada in 1974... their very first show was in Edmonton, with the second show in Calgary. I am always hoping that when he guys take off their boots for the last time... the show's are in Calgary and Edmonton... where else to finish the story where it started!!

Great job on the costume contest too! You got me envious!!! :)

Cheers!
