Being a Male KISS Groupie: My Life as a KISS Fanzine Publisher (CHAPTER III)

When I was 20 years old Gene Simmons called me at my house. OK, it was actually my grandparents’ house (I was living there during college) and it was KISS‘ tour manager Tommy Thayer who called, with Gene next to him. “Hi Cyrus, this is Tommy Thayer, KISS’ tour manager. I also have Gene here…

Baked White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cookies for work tomorrow. [#baking#whitechocolate#chocolate#cookie] I found a local restaurant that has Smithwick's on-tap. Very happy. [#smithwicks#irish#ale#beer] Looking forward to Pacific Rim 2. ("Uprising"). This image was from a "make your own Jaeger" feature they had on the website for the first film. I did a Jaeger for Iran. [#PacificRim#Jaeger#Iran#PersepolisPunisher#PacificRim2#PacificRimUprising#mech#scifi#kaiju#guilermodeltoro#iran#persepolis] We got Chewie a raised dish bowl so he'd be more comfortable eating (and also to stop Fluffy from stealing his food). Fluffy isn't happy with the new set up. [#aww#cute#cutie#dog#baby#canine#k9#shihtzu#cyrusmattdogs#cyrusmattfluffy@seattlehumane#rescuedog#petrescue#pet#rescue#cyrusmattchewie#tacomapiercecountyhumanesociety#humanesociety#dogs#doggies#babies#pups#puppies#pup#tibetanterrier] I've been binge watching all of the Bond films so Matt got me a figure of Solitaire. Even came with a tarot card. [ @janeseymour #LiveAndLetDie#007#BondGirl#JamesBond#1973#actionfigure#doll#janeseymour#tarot] Found today while cleaning out a box of childhood memorabilia. I was a member of Elvira's FC before her show was nationally syndicated (early '80s, KHJ-TV Channel 9, Los Angeles). [#flashbackfriday #Elvira's#MovieMacabre#MistressOfTheDark#KHJTV#losangeles#LA#horror#horrormovies @elvira.mistressofthedark ] Spent a wonderful afternoon with the beautiful Walker ladies. [ @roxysodapop #friends#lunch#tacoma] Stay-cations give me time to clean more than laundry. [#record#cleaning#vinylvac#LPs#records#vinyl#recordcollector] Had a wonderful time with friends this evening. Mrs. Naini made her signature dessert: Sholeh Zard (Persian Rice Pudding). [#friends#dinner#dessert#pudding#sholeh#zard#iranian#persian#ricepudding] Try the Teavana Pineapple Black Tea Infusion at Starbucks. Had my first one today and loved it. [#tobeapartner#Teavana#starbucks @teavanatea @starbucks #pineapple#icedtea#tea#infusion] Made Orange Creamsicle Cookies for work tomorrow. [#baking#cookies#orange#creamsicle#bake#cookie#sweet#treat] Did a tasting of "Tacoma Summer Chiller," Tacoma Mall Teavana's custom store blend. It's a 50/50 ratio of Summer Lemonade (herbal tea) and Watermelon Mint Chiller (naturally flavored white tea). [#tobeapartner#Teavana#tea @teavana #herbaltea#tealife#summer#icedtea] Grilled peaches. [#grilllife#grilling#grilled#peach#peaches#summer#cooking#dinner#fruit#dessert#grill] A perk of having a friend from Japan is that you get gifts from Japan. 🇯🇵😊Thanks @hiromicaffe ! 👍[#starwars#stormtrooper#cup#ninja#toothbrush#japan#japanese#gift#thoughtful#friend] #GrillLife. [#propane#grill#burger#dinner#foodporn#summer#patio] Our first grill. Did steaks and hot dogs today. Looking forward to the rest of my propane journey. [#grill#barbecue#steaks#summer#propane] Made myself one of Teavana's cocktail-inspired teas: Strawberry Daiquiri. [#Teavana#icedtea#strawberry#daiquiri @teavanatea #strawberrydaiquiri] Did a Teavana iced tea tasting today of "MKE Peachy-Keen," a custom blend available at our Bayshore Town Center store in Glendale, Wisconsin. It's equal parts Rev Up, Beach Bellini and Peach Tranquillity. [#tobeapartner#Teavana @teavanatea #tea#tasting#icedtea] Revisiting Cold Stone, after many years apart, left me disappointed.
