Anyone here been to NAMM? What's it like?

I went to NAMM last year in Ananeim, CA. It was great. Anything and everything music. I am a guitarist on the side and was pleasantly surprised to meet people like George Lynch, Vivian Campbell, Jennifer Batton Michael Anthony.., they are their either shopping or promoting produots. I took lotsa photos with my favorite guitar heroes and even got to hear some great live performances up close and personal. You see a lot of musical equipment not normally seen in music stores. It is fun and there are small concerts at the end of eaoh day consisting of many famous artists performing together. If you ever get the chance...GO!

Jennifer Batton? Cool. I was in a guitar clinic with her once, and she was amazing! Very, very talented.

You bring a die-hard lurker out because you asked about NAMM. :)

NAMM is a plenty-geeky rock-and-roll trade show that makes you feel cool for attending. The LA show is a bit larger and somewhat more technology oriented than the TN show. In any case my new passion, www.shoutmedia.com, attended the last LA show. It is as the above poster described - if you can thnk of it and it is related to music, it is probably there - including a vast array of maginficently talented musicians performing regularly.

Hmm... I'm temped now to research all of the various Pocket-PC music production applications. Perhaps there is room for a Pocket PC bundle at Shoutmedia or a site dedicated to the niche...
