NAMM Anaheim, CA 2005
Wham, Bam, Thank-you
NAMM!
I've just returned home from attending the Winter
NAMM show in Anaheim, California. It was an intense couple of days of meeting
after meeting and penning job-related emails in-between. I think I walked about
20 miles by the time it was all
over.
The flight out to California happened to fall on my 32nd birthday. It wasn't exactly my idea of a great way to spend a birthday, but things could have been worse.
One of the highlights of the trip for me was verbally abusing the manager of the Best Western Hotel after she refused to give me a package that had been incorrectly delivered to her hotel instead of the one I was staying at. I had spent 45 minutes tracking down this all-important package only to find out that FedEx had delivered it to the wrong hotel. When I went to retrieve the box that had my company's logo on it, she refused to give it to me after I had shown her multiple documents proving that I was with the company. I completely lost it and threatened to call the cops, cussed her out, and cleared the lobby of several asian guests. It's almost scary how much fun I had doing that. It's so not like me.
During the convention I got to meet a lot of great people face-to-face that I had been emailing from all over the world. The size of the NAMM convention has become so huge that it's become impossible to cover the entire thing in only one day. There were a huge amount of celebrities there as well. I got to meet Tommy Shaw from Styx. He's a really cool guy.
Of course I've got pictures from NAMM and MacWorld to share yet. I'm still trying to get them all assembled and will post some of them soon.
It's great to be back home for awhile. Although it's rough coming home to snow and ice after spending a few days in 80 degree sunshine.
It would also suck if you called 714-776-0140 and told the manager of the Best Western to suck a dick. Please DO NOT do that.
