A sneak peek (below) at what I'm thinking of bringing. Can you tell I just have too much? Come and say "hi" at the Expo, and please pick up a copy of my book - I still have enough - I'll be glad to sign it... check out my little display, I'm looking forward to it. An ALL NEW - NEW GUYS, NEW KISS DAY... see ya!"

According to a press release, "there will be wall to wall KISS stuff for sale. More tables than any other KISS Expo on the planet. We have made sure there will be a good mix of dealers offering classic '70's KISS merchandise along with dealers specializing in the new, current memorabilia. Every dealer will be a KISS dealer - no filler! Family-friendly event. Bring the whole family, we will be offering many activities for the kids! Deluxe Hotel Accommodations - Discount rooms, restaurants, pool and plenty of space to comfortably hang out with your friends and family."

KISSAsylum.com reports that late KISS drummer, Eric Carr's official website has released a video commercial for the public release of the new Eric Carr Rockheads Comic at the upcoming NJ/NY KISS Expo.

"As we know, Eric Carr had begun a cartoon project called Rockheads, which were based on caricatures of himself and his other big-haired rock and roll friends of the time, (none bigger than Eric's of course). Eric's family, along with the help of his good friend and bandmate BRUCE KULICK, his project has finally come to life for all of us to see. Although recently released through mail-order, this will be the first time the public can see them for sale."
