Marcel said Miller knows he is also a musician and they香蕉视频直播檝e grown to become friends over the years, which is why he decided to pass on the signed book to someone who would appreciate it.

香蕉视频直播淚 went to the KISS concert in Vancouver in January, and I was just talking to him telling him I went and had a great time, it was super cool. My family loves KISS, I香蕉视频直播檝e had their postes on my wall since I was a baby,香蕉视频直播� said Marcel. 香蕉视频直播淪o he told me, 香蕉视频直播業 think I have something you might like.香蕉视频直播� and then on March 21 he came in and I was kind of busy so he just hands it to me.

香蕉视频直播淚 didn香蕉视频直播檛 know it had all of the signatures in it, I kind of just thought he had just two of them香蕉视频直播� I opened it up on my lunch break and realized every signature is in it, it香蕉视频直播檚 so cool.香蕉视频直播�
