Gearing Up For NAMM

Welcome to an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at real live Mackoids getting ready for Mackie's biggest trade show in history. Consummate professionals? Maybe not. But we can sure put together a darn good show!

		How many Mackoids does it take to put up a beam? Behold the first skeletal pieces of the Mackie booth.
Wait... did anybody remember to bring the signs? What about the gear? Anyone?! It's Monday (the same day we flew in from Woodinville). The truss is going up. Time to bug out for the day and tackle it again Tuesday.
		Welcome to Tuesday. Mackoids at the booth take their turn in high-octane production - a time better suited for back support than tech support.  Meanwhile, Mackoids at home crank out the last-minute stuff that always seems to slip through the proverbial cracks.
Two and a half days of back-breaking, sweat-drenching, callous-causing work. As the last-minute touches get applied to the booth, the excitement for Thursday, the first day of NAMM, is building.
		And now for some props to the team back home. Martin loves an impossible deadline. Here he demonstrates the proper ergonomic posture for 18-hour stretches of video editing.
Throw in reams of product info sheets and hours of post-processing, you have James' typical day in the pre-NAMM life.
		Ken's sleeping on the job! You would too after 12 straight days at work and a strange habit of avoiding coffee... which is practically a crime in Washington state.
