If anyone else has pictures send them to nehw@newenglandhorror.org. I apologize to anyone who was at Rock and Shock that I met and forgot to mention. If you were there, leave a comment.
I want to clarify the entry “A Great Weekend.” My wife, Stacey Longo, was with me at Rock and Shock this past weekend. She is a member of NEHW so I should have mentioned her. My thoughts for excluding her was that I didn’t want to be accused of favoritism since she is my wife. I have corrected my mistake of leaving her out of the entry.
