NAMM access is tightly controlled, so you really do need industry contacts to get a pass. Specifically, you need to get a guest pass from a NAMM member (usually an exhibitor) or else have press credentials and obtain your own pass that way. Actually there are a couple of maneuvers that might work. One thing I did successfully last year was to use a NAMM pass from a previous year's show. The security guards don't look that closely so you can breeze past them if you have something that at least looks like a legitimate pass. Once you're inside you can hit on any exhibitors you might know, to get a real pass. Another thing I've heard of, but haven't tried, is the old men's room back door entry route. There actually is a men's room accessible from the ground floor lobby and also accessible from the show floor. I can't give a specific location, but I remember confirming this a few years back. Good luck! -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
