Location: SoCal | For anybody coming in for the NAMM show, this year, we won't be having a party on Thursday evening at out house. Logistically, it just isn't going to work.
Perhaps Friday or Saturday evening we can get together for dinner somewhere by the convention center? |

Location: Huntington Beach | Had a great time last year Paul. I'll be at NAMM again this year shooting video reports of new gear. The spot I shot last lear for Paul at WIA Music has had over 6,000 views. If anyone hasn't seen it yet go to www.mikesgig.com and search wia. Anyway, if anyone has any hot tips of product I should cover, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I'll definitely cover Ovation. Maybe we could meet up for lunch one day during the show. The days are long and exhausting to go out at night - guess I'm gettin' old. |

Location: Scotland | I'm getting in to Anaheim Wednesday afternoon and will be there for the duration. I guess whichever usuals are around will hook up for dinner Wednesday evening.
Bobbo, let's see if we can come up with something for Thursday. Otis Taylor is at the Marriott around 9:00pm which should be a cool show, but I'm open to suggestions. The midnight Dread Zeppelin show at the Hilton is a must-see. When are you getting in? I have appointments every day, but I've made sure they're all early mornings, just so my business associates get to experience me at my finely-tuned best |

Or, do you have to qualify as R-R to get in??? |

Location: Tennessee | We missed you. The show was great. Not too crowded this year. The weather is about perfect in Anaheim. Jukebox Joe's JT Special was the "Adamas in the Plexiglass" this year. Nice job spec'ing it out to his liking. Mick Thompson had the line wrapped around the perimeter on Friday. So did Glen Campbell on Saturday. No earthshattering news from Ovation but some nice new Adamas models you've already seen. |

Few items to buy over the next several months but not much outlay of cash at all! |
