Just got back to work today, after the NAMM extravaganza. What a great time, with so many great people!
Got a chance to meet mrpinter, and play his great ergonomic guitars. Plus....I was just walking down an isle and got recognized by MikeW, which was pretty cool. Totally cool dude, who plays in a surf band...which is also totally cool. :icon_thumright:
I saw Jeff Loomis there too, and he recognized me! I was walking up to introduce myself to him, and he said "Hey....you're the guy from Warmoth that does the videos!"
So ya....I guess I'm famous enough now that I'm going to have to start turning my NAMM badge around backwards so people can't read my name. :toothy12:
Going to NAMM is like going to the Grand Canyon. People tell you it's big, but you just can't really understand how big until you're there, gazing into the chasm. I wore my fitness tracker the whole time. Total miles walked each day: between 10 and 12. Also, famous people are everywhere! You just have to keep your eyes open as you walk around. People I met/saw:
Eric Gales
Greg Koch
George Benson
Greg Howe
James Valentine
Jeff Loomis
Michael Angelo Battio
Steve Vai
Alex Skolnek
Phil X
Steve Lukather
Tony McApline
Lita Ford
Seymour Duncan
Larry Mitchell
Michael Anthony
Dug Pinnik
