The picnic was awesome! My husband and I got to meet members of the Living Dead Festival family in person that we'd only previously met online. We also went with Gary and Russ on both cemetery tours to get footage for the documentary- THAT was an awesome experience! Here are some pictures from our adventures:
John Russo was in rare form! hahaa! He just kept telling joke after joke.

Ella Mae is one of the most awesome people you could ever meet! I love her! She has a sarcastic sense of humor that I have to admire...haha! Here she is answering a question about the movie that Gary asked.

Justin Streiner (Russ's son and Gary's nephew) provided sound for the picnic. Here, my husband Gordon (the bald guy) and I are helping Justin (the guy behind the bald guy...) move the sound equipment to the shelter so we could all watch NOTLD on 16mm later that night.

Gary had a hell of a time finding a usable print of NOTLD. So he called Russ, who rummaged through his basement and found one! He was as surprised as anyone that he still had a print! hahaa!

This one was taken by our friend Ryan Fenton. Gordon, me, and Gary in front of the chapel the day after the picnic. Gary took us to where the farmhouse used to stand after our visit to the cemetery.

Here, Dick Heckard (The Black Hatted Posse member) is telling us the story of where the truck came from and the night they filmed the explosion. He was a really cool guy- and funny!

Russ talking about the scene where he and Bill Hinzman fought and he hit his head on the tombstone...which was actually him hitting his shoulder. Our friend Joel is in the background photographing it all.

We'd just come back from the first cemetery tour and Russ was asking if John Russo had been telling jokes...he had...haha!
