SpazyArt @ IE Punk Flea 2020
EXCITING NEWS! I will be vending this year at the first IE Punk Flea hosted by Rad Coffee and Mystic Museum! This is my first official time vending and selling my SpazyArt works which I am really excited about. Currently I am working on creating my inventory which is both stressful and fun!
I will have patches, stickers, mugs, jackets, pillows and a few other goodies. Not sure if I will keep updated with my progress as I am not very good at that, but you know what I just might try and make it happen. 2020 is definitely a new time for setting out and making things happen… no excuses, right?
Anyways, if you’re around the area please make sure to drop in and check out my booth along with the other 100+ vendors. There will be a ton of things to look at, buy, eat, drink and enjoy so be sure to make your way there. I know I’d appreciate it and I sure all of the other small businesses will too!

NAMM 2018
NAMM recently took place at the Anaheim Convention Center and oh my is it amazing! First off, parking for NAMM you would think it'd be difficult, luckily it's not at all what you'd think. Since it's right by California Adventure and Disneyland, there is parking everywhere. Getting your badges was a super easy process as well. They scan your ticket then a badge with your name gets printed and wham bam, you're in!
Now you have access to over a thousand... yes, I said a THOUSAND exhibits spread across 3 floors filled with guitars, drums, basically any and all instruments you could think of. Oh, but it's not just limited to instruments, there are businesses there that show off lighting, sound, stage equipment, DJ systems... to be honest, that's still only touching the surface. There are so many things to come across, it's quite heavenly.
There are also adjoining hotels, which add five extra levels of fun, that include the NAMM U Education Centers. The Education Centers are available to help with training opportunities in the industries. It's amazing to see what goes on and everywhere you look something is happening. They've got jam sessions, seminars, live performances and again, So. Much. More.
Outside, they have food trucks and a big stage where special guests will perform once the night starts coming to a close, which is about 6 PM. I'm not sure who performed on the stage every day, but I know OK GO and Lindsey Stirling did. How great right?
The Hilton Hotel even hosts some entertainment that takes place in the lobby all day long. So basically wherever you are or go, you're going to hear or see something exciting going on. While there, we even got to see Monte Pittman, who also plays guitar for Madonna, showing off his skills for Kemper Amps. If you're interested in Guitar, Bass, or Vocal lessons check out MontePittman.com. He does online lessons, so no matter where you are in the world, you can learn from a pro!
While running around, we also got to chat a bit with Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men. They've got a new album out and are currently on tour in support of it. It's called "DEFY" and you can check out all of the details HERE.
NAMM is a really great place to learn new things, meet new people, and have the chance for music to surround you in every way. If this interests you in any way and you have the opportunity to go... please do not miss out. It's pretty great!
NAMM is done here in California, but you still have a chance to attend if you're in or around Nashville. The convention will be making it's way the 28th through the 30th of June, so make sure to check it out!
