I will be there, along with every other Sweetwater employee. There is much stuff to see.

Sweetwater will have a large selection of demo gear, factory refurbs, and even new items for sale at a significant discount beyond our regular advertised pricing. Many manufacturers will be on hand to talk about and sell their products.

Additionally, there will be a tent full of used equipment for sale. Local musicians (including many Sweetwater employees) are bringing their used gear to sell.

I have no clue, what you'll see in the "used" tent, but I can tell you what manufacturers will be represented in the "new" tent: AKG, Alesis, Aphex, Audio Technica, DBX, Digidesign, Glyph, JBL, Korg, Kurzweil, Mackie, MotionSound, MOTU, Rode, Roland, Sabine, Sony, Tascam, TC Electronic, and Yamaha. In the Guitar Gallery, we'll have Fender, Paul Reed Smith, Line 6, and others.

Hope to see you there!

will there be any food?

[JeffBarnett]

Are you kidding? I wouldn't be there if there was no food. There will be a food booth selling traditional carvinal-type concessions, but we have made sure that there will be no carnival-type price gouging. I believe that everything will sell for a dollar, so you can get a decent meal for three or four bucks.

[Justin]

Yes, there will be food!
They're going to have a food kiosk / cart, with sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, and soft drinks. I don't have a menu but we've made sure that things will be very reasonably priced, so don't worry about paying the "Baseball Game Price" of $4 for a hot dog.

I'm looking out the window now guys. The tents are up and I know the lobby is full to the walls with keyboards.

So are we going to see any of you guys tomorrow? Gear-Fest roll-call.

i ll be there, and i am bringing a buddy! (like the m&m commercial)

I am planning on being there. I am interested in more than one of the demos and workshops. And I've got a shopping list I need to get filled too! But now I am a bit worried. The credit card offer that stated no interest or payments until April now says only 90 days. What's up with that?

[JeffBarnett]

Don't worry. Still no payments til April until October 15

[Justin]

Correct, you still get the no payments till April.
We're having terminals set up at the financing booth so you can apply for the card and get an online approval in a few minutes.
Make sure you check the seminar schedule when you get there. We've updated the locations for a few of them since the mailings went out. They'll be at the same times as stated before, but in more suitable locations.

There will also be a lot of educational seminars. You can read more about it all here.
