The Demon & The Spaceman

We really aren't huge KISS fans, but we know an opportunity to have a great time when we see it--and we pounce on those opportunities when we can! Especially when it involves loud rock 'n' roll and no kids! (Well, not our kids, anyway!)

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we scored pretty good tickets for the KISS concert, and I promised pictures of our painted faces. At first, Bryan didn't want to do it due to potential run-ins with drunk, pumped up KISS Army people (we've had some bad run-ins with extreme drunks at big concerts like this in the past.) But after my Facebook friends hounded me, I just had to do it--how many opportunities would we have to do something like this?

So here we are, after much frustration and cussing:


We were worried that we might be the only people painted up for the night--turns out we were actually one of many, and it was obvious that we took more time on our faces that most everyone else. A few people actually had us pose for pictures, even though we weren't in full costume regalia like several other couples!

We did learn a few things about painting our faces like this:
1. It took 3 times longer than I thought it would.
2. White cream makeup is much better than non-smudge makeup, even though after having a few beers, one itch will result in scratching it off.
3. The white makeup highlights my yellow coffee teeth. YUCK.

So, about the show itself--IT.WAS.AWESOME!!!!! I was not a huge fan of their music, but they really know how to entertain--flying and swinging over the crowd, and of course, tons of pyrotechnics! It was the loudest concert I've ever been to--and we forgot our earplugs (my ears are still ringing.) We were surprised that a bunch of people brought their younger kids. This is NOT a concert to take your kids to--many expletives and lots of sexual talking. But for those of us who are going to hell anyway, it was a great time!
