Prepping for the NAMM Show, Jan. 14-17, Anaheim Convention Center

​Miles of exhibits featuring the shiniest new gear plus concerts and ample star power have us all giddy about the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show taking place January 14 through 17 at the Anaheim Convention Center. As most people reading this already know, it's pretty much the most awesome music product and trade shindig in the world. Last year, more than 80,000 people attended the invitation-only event featuring 1,500-plus exhibitors. OC Weekly will be there gawking, asking dumb questions, and, yes, blogging. From now until then, expect plenty of updates on what's scheduled to go down.
