That's really cool for NAMM to honor Michelle this year. And that Jackson Adrian Smith San Dimas Dinky looks sweet.

How was NAMM so far? Any new developments?

NAMM has been amazing so far! I have walked my ass off up and down the convention center and I still havent seen it all.

Today I bumped into a girl wearing an Iron Maidens shirt. Of course I had to go up to her and talk to her! I found out that she a "new" maiden. Since it hasnt been released yet, I can't reveal any more details. All I can say is that she seemed extremely cool!

Did anyone take any pictures? I always like seeing pictures of NAMM. I would love to go that one day.

Just out of interest, how do you get tickets for this show? Can your average Joe go or do you have be connected to the music industry in some way?

I thought that was the case. I find it strange that they have signings and stuff going on cos won't most of the people there be used to seeing these musicians about?? Thanks for the answer Danny.

Wow! That's awesome that you got to meet her in person. I met her last month and she's such a sweetheart.

It's not just famous musicians but a lot of merchants hense the title "National Association of Music Merchants". A lot of people from retail out lets that sell gear are there and they get their friends in as well as amateur musicians get in as well plus a lot of people find ways to get in.Basically it's who you know.
