Winter NAMM 2009 Official Thread.

I'll be there every day demoing at the Wizard Amplification booth. Drop by and say hi.

Cool Steve, I will come by and say hello and check out the amps

Just saw this Brad... looking forward to it. I think the last time I saw you was at the Dallas show in 94 ..... or was it Philly??

Hey Steve,

Could of been either one. I will come by the Wizard booth and say hello!

Look at that, finally a NAMM show that has something I'm interested in...

 

[Telephant]

Well I thought ED and I were playing the Vigier bash this year but I guess not. Ed, do you know if Vigier is even showing up? He emailed me and asked me to play but never responded to my reply.

Im trying to work out a show in Orange County for one of the nights of NAMM but Im not sure if its going to happen. If it does, it will be epic.

He's gonna be showing but bash was canceled due to no distributor to organize stuff. It won't be easy to book something now...to say the least.
Me...I'm actually stoked I get a break...first time in 5 years I get to fuck off in all evenings...

 

[Frolid]

I wish i could go to NAMM

I'll be at the Indie booth and hanging with Brad as much as possible...and sneaking off to the Suhr booth for sure.


Mark

Hey Mark. Apparently the Indie booth is just a few rows down from the Wizard booth and the Suhr booth is right across from Wizard. It's gonna be fun!

I'm a NAMM virgin so I am as excited as a 3 peckered puppy!
When are you flying in?

[RockStarNick]

I'll be there with Matt. Chillin' at the Hilton Bar, eating Jack in the Box for dinner, shmoozing into shows... god, I love NAMM.

Do they still have the big gathering the last night at the Hilton bar? Last time I was there was 97 and the Hilton was hopping the last night of the show. The chicks were unbelieveable. John Entwhistle was hanging.... all kinds of people.

The hilton bar is bumpin' every night man!

Me and Matt were sharing a table with some dude and his GF. Chattin it up. He got up to get some drinks, and she's like, "yeah, my boyfriend plays drums in a band." We were like "What band?" and she said "Oh, this band called Disturbed..."

Hahahaa. Saw Nuno there last time and his band, and Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater was hanging out too, wearin' a Muse T-shirt. It's cool, you see all kinds of artists hanging there.

The ratio of chicks to dudes at NAMM ain't good though. NAMM is, I'd say, 97% male-music-gear-geek, and the 3% that are female are mainly the girls hired by Shecter, coffin cases, and Rockstar Energy Drink. hahaha

I'm talking about the chicks hangin out at the Hilton bar. Last time I was there there it was crawling with them.

 

[StevieRaveOn]

Ok... long shot, didn't plan ahead, didn't ask around 6 months ago... Anyone know of an extra bed? I'm pretty sure most the rooms are booked up.

Peace fellas.

 

[wtdpblake]

New guy here... hey, everyone! I'll be out there covering pedal news for my site. Went to Nashville earlier this year, but I understand the LA show is in a different league. Need to track down some comfortable shoes.

Peace!

what's the best airport to fly into for being close?


what's the best hotel, or more like where are most of you'll staying? either the Hyatt or Hilton seems really close, but double the money of the Marriot which i guess is kindda close?


who's ass would best be kissed for a pass?

 

[King Guitar]

I am flying into LAX, staying at the Hyatt Newport Beach and kissed Josh Sages ass (Rebel Amps) for the pass months ago

 

[Duolos]

I will be there and look forward to meeting everybody I do not already know and hanging again with those I do know.

i don't know what i'm gonna do untill i do it usually, and back when i maybe could have snagged a pass i wasn't too interested in going.


the Tone Merchant shows is what perked my interest as much as anything.

[metalowns101]
