After months of waiting, the Cincinnati KISS Expo finally became a reality on March 20, 2004. However,
we celebrated it's arrival with mixed emotions. Tony's mother passed away early in the morning the day before the
expo. Urged on by our family, we spent the day with our second family, the KISS Army.
The night before the expo, we partied with friends from around the country at the hotel. Joined
by Fredi Handshoe (formerly of "SSG") and Leigh (the "Goddess of Thunder"), we got the weekend off to a great start. We
owe Fredi and crew a tremendous Thank You! for taking care of Tony that night ...
The next day at the expo, Leigh and the girls of the KISS tribute band "Black Diamond" and the Fredi
Handshoe band put on awesome performances.
We were blessed to be able to spend the weekend with you guys! Let's do it again soon !
