(posted) August 9th - Thanks to all the congregation members old and new who made it out to the 3rd Annual Charlotte KISS Expo in NC on Sunday the 8th. Die Music Group had one of the most popular booths at the event. All day long Mike Pagan, Wally "The Dog" Parris and The Reverend talked to fans, posed for pictures and signed everything from t-shirts to programs to flyers to photos taken at last years event. This in spite of the fact that at around 10 am, half a dozen Federal Marshalls, accompanied by the personal attorney of Gene Simmons himself, locked the Hilton down and began to search vendor booths, hotel rooms and vehicles on the property for bootleg video and recordings. Literally thousands of VHS and DVDs along with hundreds of cassette tapes were confiscated and court papers were served to several vendors in attendance. ORDAINED would like to thank all the people who were not SINtimidated and who stuck around all day well SINto the evening to show support for the promoter and the vendors, bands and celebrities who were on hand for the event. Note to Gene Simmons: It is really FUCKED UP when you fuck with people who are coming together to celebrate YOUR FUCKING BAND. Fuck the fans, Gene. That's really smart.

July 13th - 19th - The Reverends Promotional Tourture Dates out in Sin City Las Vegas and Hollywood went over killer. Starting off in Sin City, Rev had a suite at the Frontier for three nights, as well as a kick ass room at Ballys (comped of course). $25 a hand blackjack for hours at a time was the norm for the next three days and nights. Thursday night found The Rev front and SINter for the opening night of the American leg of the W.A.S.P. tour at the House Of Blues in the Mandalay Bay Hotel Casino. Mike Duda (bass) and Stet Howland (drums) were glad to see The Rev in attendance, showing his support. Flying out to Burbank to go to Hollywood that Friday, The Reverend was spotted hanging out with none other than Chuck Woolery for about an hour before going to catch his flight. The Hollywood leg of the trip was completely over the top. Never one to stand in line if he can help it, The Reverend was waved through the masses waiting to enter the Whisky, Rainbow and Roxy. No waiting in line at the Viper Room either. Hanging out with Lemmy from Motorhead, John Corabi, Jerry Cantrell, Duff from GnR/Velvet Revolver, Billy Duffy from The Cult, the female wrestler Chyna, Leslie from Pretty Boy Floyd and massive fans was a blast. Thanks goes out to Kwasar and Sick Rick for the hospitality and pictures. Mike & Stet from W.A.S.P. were both once again glad to see The Rev up front for their show Saturday at the L.A. House Of Blues. Flying back SINto Sin City, The Rev was picked up in a private stretch limo and taken to his comped suite at Sams Town Hotel Casino. Free unlimited food and beverages the SINtire time he was on property made him feel right at home, right up to the limo ride back to the airport to catch his flight back east. All in all a killer trip, with lots of contacts made and as usual, yes, he did bring home money.
