Extension. The three-hour course, titled "There's No People Like Show People: Communicating With Creative Professionals In The Entertainment Business," took place Thursday (October 25), and featured Simmons explaining to the class how art and commerce are not mutually exclusive, and how important marketing and promotion are to any successful venture. Simmons releases his autobiography, Kiss And Make-Up, on December 11. With Simmons's entertainment industry deal-making (TV shows, movies, comic books, and merchandising, among other things), and singer-guitarist Paul Stanley's hip surgery, there's no word on where or when the next Kiss shows will take place.
