Rock and Roll All Nite - Post Op!
Totally rocks that kissonline.com posted my letter and pic to the band about my emergency appendicitis surgery a mere 4 days before seeing KISS in Minnesota. The previous link is no longer pointing to the correct page, but luckily I took a screen capture to preserve the occasion. Rock. On.
