...With Kiss. There's a damn fine fly on the wall documentary to be made of this...
Are you ready to invade the seas on the first ever KISS Kruise?
On this outrageous ship, you’ll get to party with fist pounding hard rock all night, and live like a rock star all day. You’ll see two legendary shows with KISS, along with more electric performances by other artists. The music doesn’t stop there; we’ll have krazy on board activities, rowdy theme nights, major Halloween party, badass costume contests and more!
Crank it up a few notches on the Carnival Destiny! It’s the perfect place to kick back and rock out. Live large in any of the bars and nightclubs, be a high roller in the casino, and treat yourself to the rock star lifestyle with fine dining, buffets, and 24-hour room service. Bring your groupies and hang out by the resort style pool before a night of partying! We love it loud!
When we get off the ship, we’ll be stopping in not one but TWO ports in the Bahamas. Half Moon Cay is our own private island where we can get wild on the beach, and then we’re heading to Nassau Rock City! God gave rock & roll to you-take over the Atlantic KISS-style, and have the journey of a lifetime with other fans.
This is only for supreme KISS fans. Are you ready to rock & roll all night and party every day? Turn it up, turn it out, and ROCK!
The greatest comic creation of the 21st century.
Is Ron 'F***ing' Swanson.
He's in the brilliant U.S. sitcom Parks and recreation. A spot on micky take of local government. (Including the cutbacks) Amazingly the show hasn't been picked up by any of the 100's of stations showing U.S. imports over here.
So whilst i don't condone any illegal downloading the show really needs to be watched.
Fleet Foxes are back
Albums out 3rd May and there's a free download on their website.
