NAMM Guitar Convention In Anaheim
January 18th, 2003
As all concerts/adventure start, it was horrible. The place was humongous and you had to have
badges with your name on it. But Angela and Roarmary still had hope, we got INTO the convention
center, just not the place where the actual exhibition which had all the famous people. With our
special skills for sneaking into places like this, Angela pretended to use the pay phone while
Rosemary looked around for guards and stuff. After that we went outside and asked for lil badge
thingys, and finally this really nice viet family gave two of them to us. So we walk all the way back to
inside the convention and just walk through the guards like we're normal people. We walk around
and check out all these really cool guitars, and we see Kerry King from Slayer and Mick from
Slipknot. Kerry left while we were waiting in line to meet Mick, he looked really scary, and both of us
not being big fans we thought he might be mean. But no! He wasn't at all, he knew we were scared
of him and acted really nice. After that we asked people where Kerry went, and while looking, we
saw Blasko from Rob Zombie. Being one of Rosemarys favorite bands, we followed him until he
went to the bathroom. So we wait outside and talk to like this guy that works for him, he was saying
how another dude from Powerman 5000 was there too. But we really didn't care much bout him. So
finally Blasko comes out we meet him and unfortunately the guy that took the picture is like
retarded and put his finger on top of the lens so the picture didn't come out. Blasko was really cool,
as always, and unfortunately he didn't remember Roarmary from Weenie Roast :( .... So then we
walk around more and while looking at guitars, we see the two guitarists from Static-X. They were
both really cool, Tripp was scary b/c he kept asking questions we didn't know answers too, but still
of course was really nice. After that we see a sign that John Tempesta from Rob Zombie is signing at
4. Luckily it was 5 past 4. So we meet him, he was probably the nicest. [Now Rosemary has met the
whole band of Rob Zombie :)] Then we once again....walk around.... and see Wayne Static from ...
Static-X! He was nice too, you can see Angela magnificant camera skills in the photo... >:O ...
Annnyways, while we were still on the look out for bald shiny tattooed heads (Kerry King) we see
the guy from Kiss, Buckethead, the guitarist from Disturbed, Jeremy from Lit (who we have a
picture with), and a bunch of others who probably passed by us but we didn't know who they were.
By the way there were a lot of fareaky people there... and on the way out, we finally see Kerry King!
We got to meet him, he was scary too, haha we took a picture, but the lady behind us was
stupid...Rosemary wasnt in the picture, but at least Kerry King and Angela was! After that we left...
exhausted and tired from meeting famous people~
Buckethead!!! i wonder if he has eyes. . .
Really cool and funky lookin guitar, i bet it was like $5000
or something
He was really nice, this is the guitarist from Static-X.
As predicted. . . Jeremy Popoff (pipoff) from Lit, he was
really cool.
This is John Tempesta, one of the greatest drummers
(according to roarmary)! he was probably the nicest guy
we met today.
Kerry King from SLAYER! really cool, we looked
everywhere for him. . . stupid lady didnt get all of us in it.
but still. very awesome. He looks scary. as was scary but
still nice.
A guy from the legendary band KISS. We're not huge fans,
but atleast we took a pic of him. Roarmary got a KISS
guitar pic.
Mick from Slipknot. He was really scary, but when we met him, he
was real nice.
You can tell angela was a bit afraid. he laughed about our HELLO
stickers we had supplied for everyone to sign.

couldnt stop smiling, his hair is so cool. . .
