The NAMM Show (National Association
of Music Merchants) happens twice a year. All the biggest names in music retail
get together to show off their new product lines for the coming year. Some of
the biggest names in music come out to get mingle with the fans, get lots of
free stuff, check out the freaks, and sign autographs. This past saturday (1.20.2001)

Limp Biskit...
