the stories
So today i waited for Gene Simmons, formerly of Kiss, for seven hours with my friend Edward. We were able to get front row position backstage @ the venue were he would be playing this evening. We both already had his signature but both wanted a selfie. When he finally arrived his dutch tourmanager was very unfriendly and rude. Simmons both signed us a photo, which we are thankfull for but rejected our request for a selfie. He also said that we could make a lot of money with that signed picture.
That kinda threw me off. I don't need to make $20 on a non certified photo. If i had worked the hours i would have made a little bit more then that. Too bad he thinks we did this for the money.
So in conclusion: a very small reward for a very big effort.
Such is the life of an autograph collector. It's like fishing: you prepare all your gear, make plans, do everything you can and then at the end of the day you go home with an empty bucket.
That evening's roll call
Waited for 7 hours to get railed off by a very grumpy and arrogant tour manager
Didn't do the show...i was angry
