On July 16th 1995 I had one of my greatest KISS experiences by attending the Official KISS Convention held that day in Bloomington Minnesota. On that day I was able to obtain autographs from Gene, Bruce and Eric but due to long lines and a very full bladder (mine) I missed out on Paul Stanley. Since that day I had always hoped that the situation would present itself that would allow me to get my pictures signed by him to complete my set and my band photo. Unfortunately it never really did. Living in a small town in southern Minnesota probably didn't really enhance my chances. Fast forward 25 plus years, through making connections through Facebook I was finally able to connect with someone with connections to Paul. I sent my pictures to him and he got them to Paul who was kind enough to sign them. Thought I would share them here and say thanks again to Paul for signing these and to all current and former members of my favorite band for providing years and years of great music and memories. - Mike Shupe
