Gene Simmons and Barry Levine's Exclusive party to launch Carnival of Souls

I was at the office on Tuesday afternoon checking my emails as usual when i received an email from Priya saying that her friend from Bloomberg just told her Gene Simmons was at his office...
Like seriously?? What on earth is Gene Simmons doing here? I really really wanted to see him but didn't know how to since i've not heard anything about him making an appearance in Singapore.

An hour later, Ava called me up and asked if i wanted to attend Gene Simmon's private party that very evening at 6.30pm! Like are you serious?? This is not the craziest part... Ava met Gene the night before at the Nine Inch Nails concert and his PA called her up the next day to invite her to his party! So now i get to go too!!
I was so excited i was actually willing to give gym a miss that evening and went for this party instead. I was also going to be on Channel News Asia that night at 8.30pm so i guess i had to choose between watching myself or meeting Gene.. wasn't that an obvious choice since my friends would be recording it for me anyway.


Met up with Ava at 6.30pm and hung around at The Arts House having some food from the buffet spread and drinks. The beer from Archipelago was soooo gooood but the wine unfortunately was not that great.. well what do you expect it's just Corte Viola. After about an hour and half, we were asked to proceed down to the entrance where the red carpet is to welcome the arrival of Gene and Barry.

A hummer turned up after approximately 15 minutes of us waiting in the heat and out came two men... well didn't really know who they were, probably some producer or manager. Shortly after, a stretch limo pulled up and out came Gene and Barry!!! I was gonna faint. He looked so cool... lol ok maybe most of you won't agree with me since he's about 60 ish.


Everyone went back up to where the party was while Gene was being escorted into his private room where cameras had been set up all around and Utt was waiting to interview him. Was pretty upset thinking that maybe that was all i got to see of him when Ava just tapped him on the arms, he turned around, said hi to her and told her to go with him to his room! Happily Kristina and i followed ;)


Gene was really nice and asked us our names, chat for a little and took some pictures. We hung out in that room for a bit until it was time for him to head off to the theater for an introduction about the Carnival of Souls.

The party went on for a little more after with some pole dancing and acrobatic performances then they ran out of beer....
When it was time to leave, Kris, Ava, Rob and i went off to the after party at New Asia Bar, had a round of drinks then stumbled off to Pump Room where i got a wee bit wasted but it was all good... :)
