ManhattanNCS president to speak at New England chapter function

Thus begins the steady decline of the great and powerful New England chapter of the NCS.


 Seriously, I'm flattered that they asked me to come out and speak.  The New England chapter is one of the NCS groups that really has it together, as far as events for their members.  Mark and Lynn Parisi have monthly happy hours, and once a year throw a big bash where they (up until now) get big time celebrities and famous artists to come by and talk.  I've been to a few, and it's always a great time with a great turnout (again, up until now).

If your'e interested in going, here's all the info:
