NAMM has no public day and I doubt it ever will. It's strictly for dealers and those with buyer's credentials are going to get attention first. Nevertheless, there's plenty of non-industry folks around although this year's new barcodes, badgeholder with ID only, and checkpoints may change things a bit. But I doubt it.

I just double checked on the NAMM site, and you're right no public day !! I suspect security will be more stringent than previous years.

Course, if you were looking for volunteers to man the Booth, I'd be more than happy to volunteer !!!

They need extra security at NAMM to protect the identity of the Color of the Year!

Just for the sake of mentioning it, I was just visiting the Rickenbacker site and noticed that the "2005 color of the year" teaser is now BBR*

Whatya think? Could be a real clue seeing how we are pretty much in the ninth hour.

I'm still hoping that it's Blue Burst Reverse. I'm probably wrong, but I'm still hoping for it.

Well, some folks seem to be convinced the 2005 color is blue, so maybe you're on to something there.

Kenmore refrigerator Coppertone could be interesting too.
