Kiss ruled! One of the highlights of the night was that the band played a song that they had never performed live in the U.S. before, "Love Her All I Can" from "Dressed to Kill," the third Kiss album, released in the mid-seventies. Wow! And this was only the second night they had done that on this tour, the first time being two nights earlier in Concord, California, where a couple of my friends were treated to the first-time-played-live-in-the-U.S. version of "All the Way." By the way, for those who complain that Kiss without Ace Frehley and Peter Criss doesn't cut it, you should see Eric Singer rawk the drum kit harder than any person has a right to, and Tommy Thayer more than fills Ace's platform boots in the lead guitar department.

I played a ComedySportz remote on Thursday night in front of more than 200 middle-school and high-school 4H kids, and the show went really well. The kids were responsive and enthusiastic, and the players fed off of that and gave it right back to 'em. It was a lot of fun. Plus, I was a Shakesperean anaconda.
