Markiss meets Kiss

Amsterdam and Kiss

Well I finally did it. I have met Kiss in the flesh. Only been waiting to do that for the past 31 years since I have been a Kiss fan. Yup, that's me and Gene Simmons above. They were all great people and all willing to sign anything you put in front of them.

Oh and I met Whitesnake backstage too. Here is David Coverdale after he just got off stage.

Water Rat's Itinerary 2008

Uncle Barry has sent me the new Itinerary for the Water Rat's in 2008. Not sure if any of the Jersey crew are going this year but you can download it from the link below if you want to take a look.

Water Rat's Itinerary 2008

I have just been taking a peak at the Rat's website and found something quite amusing. I'm sure Mr P will find it funny too. Here are a few lines pinched from the site. It is part of a diary from the 2007 Tour:

"Day 6:
Of course that night becomes a night to remember, at least for our friend Tony from Jersey. After the session Tony goes back to the Jersey Brats' boat, but in the dark night she falls off a small wall and hurts her left leg very badly. She is brought to a Norwich hospital where the emergency team looks after her leg. Unfortunately, there is no George Clooney on duty at the Norwich ER that night."

and this one:

"Day 7
Friday morning, nice weather, everybody trying to get a mooring space in the tiny harbour of Rockland St Mary. We arrive at a crowded "New Inn". The band plays pretty swingin', and even Tony, our Jersey girl, seems to be well off again after last nights bloody experience. Beer seems to be tasty again, and can there be any better proof of being okay? "

You can read those two and see the pictures here for Day 6 and Day 7.

Well I thought it was funny. Maybe we should call you Mrs P from now on :-)
