Meetin' & Greetin' at NAMM (the name-dropping thread)

[RacerX]

Hey Guys,
I have to say I really enjoy moving in different circles in the music industry. Between living here in LA, being involved in the local metal scene, going to NAMM every year, working at GC, and last but not least, hanging here with all you crazy fuggers, I usually have friends/acquaintances/enemies/actress/model/whatevers/occasionally even enemies come up to greet me (or I go up to them [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) at all kinds of concerts/conventions/events I attend.
And now, here's a list of all the people I met and had nice conversations with over the last few days at NAMM. You may have heard of some of them.

Hey Brooks, I did say "besides JCFers..." [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Seriously though, it was nice hanging out at the Jackson booth with you for while. Hope to see you there again next year.
