Namm 2009
First all to get in to the 2009 Namm Convention I had to give my first born. After getting in I was overwhelmed walking into the four main halls, lower level, and two floors at the Anaheim Convention Center where it all took place. Namm featured more then 1500 exhibits as well as well as over 85,000 visitors, several band members who endorsed equipment, products, signed autographs and musical performances by the likes of Brian Wilson, Markey Ramone, Dave Mustaine, Kerry King and a special impromptu performance by Grammy Award Winning Yamaha artists Alicia Keys who showed off her new signature piano. Being there to cover was great but there was the fan side of me that wanted the picture with the band i.e. Markey Ramone, and Kerry King of Slayer
As I walked around the mass of equipment from kazoos to guitar pick anything and everything to do with music. I checked out some of the booths and the guitars that filled the walls. As I was walking the drum section I checked out LTD Drums where I ran into Danny, the drummer form The Uprising. Danny is part owner in LTD. Danny was a busy man this weekend playing Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday with The Uprising opening for the Dwarves and attending Namm all four day.
Well after two days of convention its time to head to San Diego for the Dwarves show at Brick by Brick
