Singing Contest With Tommy Thayer

In conjuction with the second anniversary party for the Kiss Coffeehouse a singing contest has been declared. The idea is to phone in and to sing the song "Forever" over a newly recorded instrumental version that Tommy Thayer has recorded. Tommy will choose the winner and the winner will sing the song together with Tommy at the party September 6th. I'm not really sure what to think of this but at least Kiss aren't running of ideas!
