Members UstadKhanAli Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 I love NAMM get-togethers, but I'm always going to the Winter NAMM since I live near there. Please hoist a cold drink or chow down on a delicious Italian dish for me. For those who are going to NAMM, the people that I've met on this forum have always been very friendly, interesting people that I'm proud to have as friends. Go hang out if you can!

Go hang out if you can! Agreed 1000%. As I've always said, if I was rich I'd fly every regular in this forum out to a party. I really enjoy meeting "the person behind the screen name." I've got to meet Elsongs at Winter NAMM, and that was very cool. He smiles as much as you think he would By all means, let's do a get-together. We've tried this in the past at Summer NAMM and not had too many people show up, but maybe with "public day" we'll do better. But it would be worth it just to meet sventvkg. So let's see how many people will show up, then pick a date and time that works for all concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 While I won't be attending this show, I will second Ken's and Craig's experiences with get-togethers of forumites. I've become close friends with a number of people I first ran into on music/audio forums over the years, and many of these friendships really kicked off as a result of hang-outs at trade shows. Hell, my entire last album was created along with people who first got to know each other on SSS, and then strengthened our friendships through meet-ups. If you can get one rolling, I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members realtrance Posted June 24, 2011 Members Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'd love to go some year, and just got my first invite to NAMM, probably the public day thing? in Nashville. Where is winter NAMM? LA? Anyways, at this point, the flights are too painful, and expensive, from where I'm at. But thanks for the invite this time around, in any event!

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted June 24, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Where is winter NAMM? LA? Anyways, at this point, the flights are too painful, and expensive, from where I'm at. Winter NAMM is in Anaheim, which is near Los Angeles, about equally accessible from LAX, ONT (Ontario), LGB (long Beach) and SNA (John Wayne, Irvine, Orange County) airports. Unless they've had a change in heart, I don't think they're going to have an "open" day at the Winter show. They never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members techristian Posted June 29, 2011 Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 I bought my 2 Saturday passes today. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sventvkg Posted June 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 I thought it was free? Where to buy and how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author MikeRivers Posted June 29, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Click on the Buy Tickets Now button for a ticket to the "Wanna Play" day, Saturday, July 23. It's $15 in advance or you can pay $20 at the door. The NAMM show is never really free. A certain number of admissions come with a NAMM membership which can be offered at the discretion of the member. Approved members of the press can get free admission, and there are some guest passes for members of The Recording Academy (Grammys) and famous artists and endorsers get free passes, probably from NAMM itself. The NAMM show is, in general, a show that tries harder at keeping out than bringing people in. They want to keep it a place where manufacturers can meet dealers, distributors, and developers, not a preview for the musicians of what's to come (they depend on the press for that).

Members sventvkg Posted June 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks Mike!! We all need to figure out when/where we're going to get together.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author MikeRivers Posted June 30, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'd recommend dinner upstairs at Jack's Barbecue. Food's good, it's not very expensive, you can hang out for a while, and you're right downtown so you can check out all the bars and street singers. Since I'm not going, I haven't scoped out the NAMM-related show scene, but Shubb usually sponsors an acoustic guitar oriented concert, often as not featuring John Jorgensen. I'd give my right hand to play like him. Hey, somebody check out the Harrison Consoles booth. It's the first show I'm not attending that Harrison has exhibited at for a long time, probably because it's local for them and it's about #%&!@ time. Give me a progress report on MixBus, the Mac and Linux version of (sort of) a Harrison mixing console. I'm sure they'll be demonstrating it there.

Members techristian Posted June 30, 2011 Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 I usually go to the Hard Rock Cafe at least once when I'm in Nashville. I used to go to the Shoneys near Music Row, but I don't think it is still there anymore. Just me thinking out loud. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
