Summer NAMM

Jul 17, 2006 09:18 am typical trade show, floors full of music gear with scantily clad women trying to sell it to you.

Jul 17, 2006 05:12 pm Its just like a car show only with musical gear instead. It gets really loud and annoying at times with all the manufacturers competing for sound space.
But yes, you get to see a ton of new goodies that are being released, upgraded or whatever.

Jul 17, 2006 09:59 pm Definately. I havent gone in a good long time either. Although, indeed as well the invites have been there, just no time. We should try and plan for possible winter NAMM.

Jul 18, 2006 01:59 am And the gears start grinding...
Jul 18, 2006 05:19 am I'll keep you in mind if I get one againb Loki, you can go as an HRC Rep as long as you promise not to get drunk and do something stupid :-)
Jul 18, 2006 11:48 am Earnie Ball had a bunch of liquor in their booth, me and my friend got drunk right there! and i fell in love with the Bongo Bass....cool show indeed, i walked out with tons of free crap like gold cd-r's, Waves plugin bundles, about 15 Peavy shot glasses, and a ton of various neck straps for the badge....the highlight was the Dean booth's tribute to Dimebag, i think i remember sheding a tear (ofcourse this was after the Earnie Ball both visit).
