This January I’m packin’ up the family and we’re jetting over to California for NAMM as well as general Californian sightseeing. I’ve wanted to go to NAMM ever since I was in my teens and Guitar Player magazine ran this awesome NAMM report, written in the style of Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas. In addition to the coolness that was the new gear on show, that article made a huge impression on me as a writer. So I’m going to get to have my own little NAMM adventure soon, after all these years. Woohoo!

So here’s where you come in:

* If you’re a reader, what would you like to see covered?

* If you’re an artist, are you doing a NAMM-related gig?

* If you’re from a guitar-related company, would you like me to make sure I stop by your booth?

I plan to blog like crazy while I’m in the states, and I’ll no doubt be using Twitter to its full advantage too, so if you’re not following me on Twitter yet and you’d like live updates as I drool over new guitars, amps, pedals, gadgets, gizmos and doodads, here’s my Twitter.

Also, what should we do while we’re in California for 3 weeks? It’ll be me, Mrs I Heart Guitar and our 3-year-old, so only family-friendly suggestions please (although I hope the hotel offers babysitting so we can catch a taping of Conan while we’re out there!). We’re visiting Hollywood, Anaheim, San Diego and San Francisco.
