KISS 30 YEARS PARTY IN
BRAZIL
(from Ana Rebello)
Some people have been looking for us in my website, Cat Planet (http://www.catplanet.com.br) asking if we did
put the news about our party in the site. We hadn't, actually... so please, if you guys
could put it, so maybe people would stop mistaking both parties...
The first brazilian 30 years party will take place in São Paulo - SP, Feb the 2nd,
starting at 4:30 pm. We will have four bands playing, including three tributes, KIZZ,
Last KISS and Dr Love Tribute Band. The fourth band is an independent band inspired
in KISS. Aside from the bands, we will have merchandise to tell, videos, DVDs,
gear in display and many other surprises. The party will take place at
Hole Club, Rua Augusta, 2203 - São Paulo. Again, the date is February 2... in
one week!!!

Excitement is building in the lead up to February 28 in

over Melbourne's Docklands precinct. Near this vicinity, you can see the Telstra Dome in
the background. It looks awesome. Also, a big screen on at the front of The
Dome, plays Kiss and MSO footage during the day & evening.

TOKYO SHOWS SOLD OUT

Maybe you'd like to know that the official website of
promoter UDO announce the three March KISS shows in Tokyo as SOLD OUT. Click on www.udo.co.jp/app/ticket/entry.jsp?c=466

On the other hand, according to Downunder KISS fans, it seems
that the Australian newspaper Herald Sun has told about rather bad tickets sales for the
KISS Symphony event in Melbourne. "Only" 15000 tickets sold for a 48'000
seater. But there are still 50 days to go before the concert.

THE FIRST MILLION!
The one millionth visitor has visited
KISS NEWS/THE FAN SHOP since March 2000. The increasing heavy traffic on this website has
also negative sides. Maintaining the website has become a very costly factor. There have
been no additions to the Fan- and Tattoo-pages lately. There will be changes in the coming
weeks. This website will then continue to grow and there will also be a big update on all
the Fan- and Tattoo-pages as soon as possible. If you notice any problems (photo or page
not showing up or broken links) please send an e-mail to webmaster@kissfanshop.de to make sure the
problem gets solved! Thank you!
