Well it's time for the Namm update.

Today was our last day to actually attend the show but it has been an incredible day. We started out at shooting Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue/ Sixx A.M., Brides of Destruction) for the folks at Basson sound. We later ran into Billy Blair and Gen again as well as Bobzilla (Hell Yeah/ Damage Plan), Vinnie paul (Pantera/ Damage Plan/ Hell Yeah), Tim (Soil), Kerry King (Slayer), Peppermint Creeps and the Guitar manufacturing god Grover Jackson. We also saw Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, Bruce and Bob Kulick (All from Kiss), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Whitesnake), Billy Sheehan, Kinney (Type O Negative), and Wayne Static (Static X). At dinner we had had strange encounter of the bass kind. We were sitting at Outback waiting for our food and right across the bar is bobby from Soulfly, it seems like today was all about the Bass player of which I have been one for years. We then finished the night off shooting our friends from Vains of Jenna at the world famous Roxy in Hollywood. The suprise for me and highlight of the evening was when I turned around to check out the crowd rocking out to VOJ and found Kat Von D standing right behind me. Very cool chic and just as good looking in person. Well I hope you have enjoyed reading about our NAMM escapades as we haved living them. See you back in D/FW on tuesday. We would also like to extend a great big thank you to Mike Murphy at Murphy's Music for helping to make all this possible.
