I guesds that after a while it got old like everything does. Austin should be a great place, a real music city. stonebobbo Posted 2007-01-23 12:39 AM (#119464 - in reply to #119460) Subject: Re: Summer NAMM Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee I've been to Nashville. I've been to Austin. If I was going to live in one of them, it would be Austin. Temp ... do you need booth crew at summer NAMM? ;) Speaking of Austin, I've got a couple of DVDs from this site: Live From Austin Texas . You can scroll through and see a preview from each of the artists. There are a lot of good shows to see ... I'm a John Hiatt fan and he does a great show. Jeff, check out the Richard Thompson click. Susan Tedeschi is pretty good, too. alpep Posted 2007-01-23 1:00 AM (#119465 - in reply to #119460) Subject: Re: Summer NAMM Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10582 Location: NJ no direct flights to austin and it ia hot as hell in the summer. my understanding is that there was a small showing of manufacturers last summer Steve Posted 2007-01-23 10:22 AM (#119466 - in reply to #119460) Subject: Re: Summer NAMM Joined: July 2002 Posts: 1900 Well, now I have my doubts Ovation will even show up for the summer NAMM...I had a friend in the industry who'd facilitate my attendance but if it's such a small show it might not be worth the effort... wilblee Posted 2007-01-23 11:28 AM (#119467 - in reply to #119460) Subject: Re: Summer NAMM Joined: June 2005 Posts: 1320 Location: Round Rock, TX I know at least one local who would be very interested in helping out at the show (or just getting in), pointing out the better watering holes, and providing infallible guidance to the finest barbeque, tex-mex, cajun, steak, vietnamese and thai establishments in the area. As to the heat - Barton Springs is the perfect cure. cliff Posted 2007-01-23 11:41 AM (#119468 - in reply to #119460) Subject: Re: Summer NAMM Joined: March 2002 Posts: 14842 Location: NJ When I first started working in the tradeshow bidness (15 years ago), they held SummerNAMM in AtlanticCity for the one & only time, and I didn't go. As much as I hate AtlanticCity, it'd be cool if they brought it back here one more time.
