Kiss alive at 35

On a more pleasant note, my roommate got 2 free tix to see Kiss last Tuesday. The tickets were free, and I must admit a certain amount of curiosity regarding the band that decorated baseball jerseys in my Philly neighborhood in 2nd grade. The music didn't fit in with what my religious family deemed "tasteful" or "edifying" but I did learn to enjoy some Kiss songs while working in bars as an adult.
I actually enjoyed the show, although most of the audience missed the best part which was definitely the footwear (and the fact that the men wearing that insane footwear were doing some amazing footwork). We lucked out and had a broken binocular box behind our seat and were able to get our voyeur on with the binoculars. Amazing.

Unfortunately the camera crew at the FU center were too busy focusing on their wrinkled faces - which still were painted as perfectly as they could have been painted but which paled in comparisons to the youthful moves these guys were rocking.

If you see this show in another city, definitely don't leave before the encore, which was the most intense medley of classic hits and physical feats of the whole show and lasted well over a half hour.
