Members Jeff da Weasel Posted December 27, 2006 Members Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi Folks, An audio industry magazine needs someone to stand around at NAMM and mind their small booth. If you live in the LA area and are interested, here's the deal: - Pays $10/hour.- Lunch paid.- You get a NAMM badge (duh).- Must be available all day (10:00 - 6:00) at the Anaheim Convention Center Thursday 1/18, Friday 1/19, Saturday 1/20, and Sunday 1/21.- No specific magazine knowledge required... just a friendly and cheerful demeanor (and ability to hand out swag, take messages, and sign people up for subscriptions if they want). If you're going to ask for compensation for airfare, hotel, or anything like that, don't bother... it's not that kind of gig. But if you want to get into NAMM, have a little while to peruse the show each day, and make a little money, let me know immediately (before the end of this week, anyway). - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted December 27, 2006 Members Share Posted December 27, 2006 Does this mean I'm being replaced at EQ?!? I'm always the last to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted December 27, 2006 Members Share Posted December 27, 2006 But seriously...worth noting that Hall E opens earlier than the rest of the show, so anyone going for that gig can have at least a couple hours total of unadulterated show time. And Hall E always has some interesting weird stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens, let me know. You'd make a very attractive booth babe. By the way, this is an equal opportunity opportunity. Your degree of maleness, lack of outer beauty, or ability to play a Dorian scale will have no effect on your chances of getting the gig. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Hall E always has some interesting weird stuff True, and I hadn't thought of that. Good point. Also (to be clear): the folks said that they're fine with the person taking a short while to cruise around the show, being relieved of booth duty for an hour or so each day to get some play time in. Just respond here if you're interested, or email me if you're too shy to post ( "jeff at klopmeyer dot com" is a fine way to reach me). - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, this gives me just under a month for stomach crunches. I'll wear something fetching but still legal, not to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted December 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'll bump this once, but I'm honestly surpised that despite the amount of people that hit me up for a NAMM badge every year, no one wants to work the show to get a badge legitimately. Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philbo Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Wellll... I'd have to dig out the Speedos.... That'd guarantee nobody'd want to stop & talk. But the drive from Iowa - - That would be the killer part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what you were wearing, I'd stop by your NAMM booth. You'd be the one with the guitar, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd be the one with the guitar. You didn't have a guitar in that photo on Manley's web site. Now how could I read your badge without looking too suspicious? I was going to post a link to that photo, but the JPG file seems to be missing. How'd you do that? Mine still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted December 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2006 Speaking of the Manley site, is there still a naked photo of Mike Rivers on there? I'd look myself, but I'm far too busy to chance going hysterically blind, even on a temporary basis. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
