MR

To those that went on any basis - official or otherwise - give me your thoughts.

I'm just wondering out loud if I shouldn't be there in 2008 hocking this site to all and sundry....God knows I could use some fresh business contacts

Plus I'm working on something else that might be of relevance.

I sent you a PM suggesting just that.

There were only 5,000 people walking the place at any one time. Think about it. Throw in the malcontent derailed rock stars who need some PR, and your trip is more than paid for.

Make it work Andrew, I bet you would be suprised at how many thousands KNOW about your site!!!

I am so jealous of you guys and gals on the left coast that get all the neat trade shows!!

Rick

well, I didn't go but, I'm surprised YOU didn't, Andrew. Do it next year & maybe, there will be another Loffler's show, too.

It's something to think about. You-know-who lives out there...I could kill two birds with one stone.

Just do it Andrew. You'll never know until you try it for yourself.

Do It Andrew!!!
And hire me on as your personal Bitch!!!
I'll drive you around, get your meals and sneak
sluts up to your room!!!

I was just telling the wife that, someday before I get too old, I'm gonna catch
a NAMM week. What better way to do it

There ya go, the offer has been made!

I WILL NOT miss it next year!!!
NAMM 2008 or bust!!!

You people insisting on going next year. You DO know that you need to be invited, ie, have a badge. You have better luck having brunch at the White House than getting into NAMM.

Mmmm....looks like I have to contemplate this big time.

Never been before, but certainly have wanted too. Only that freeking airfare thing again. Living in the ass end of the world is expensive at times

Uh, yeah, we know! Actually Melissa is the one who told me that days ago when I asked about it! I think they're just kidding around with wishful thinking! Don't have to rub it in

You should move to the U.S., most of your MR business is here isn't it? Bring the family, they'll love it.

I wish I can plan out that far.. but everything is highly unlikely.
At this point I really shouldnt be doing the FL shows but I already bought tickets.

Considered many times. I'd live there tomorrow, but we have all our family here and Nicholas (my eldest) starts school 2 days a week next month. Hard to disrupt that...

But, I need to fugure out a cheaper way of getting over there more often!

Invest in a canoe?
(sorry.. my attitude sucks tonight)

just kidding around, I do know you have to be invited & my hubby & I actually have been before (close friend in a band for Capitol Records, but can't say who ) just haven't taken him up on the offer yet.

Deano is hijacking your name again, Lula?

Oh! That explains the "rubbing it in" Thanks Lula! We are really glad we get to meet you in Florida! We were actually hoping to in California, but this trip will be more fun anyway

He's only 4
Kindergarden...full time school next year!

Dean,

I had access to tickets for NAMM, just had to decide between the two trips, ARF or NAMM. Wished I could have stayed out there for the whole two weeks in between! Next year will be a different story!!

NAMM always sounds so fun, but i'm neither a musician nor a music merchant, so i feel i would have no business being there.

anyone remember the foundations forum (a hard rock/metal conference) back in the 90's? i've gone to a few of those. 3 days worth of partying & trashed hotel rooms!

i'll be going to the pollstar thing next month. i have no idea what to expect there.

In the States they go 5 days a week in kindergarden...but start when they're 5....preschool before that.
