Mesa have anything new ?

iirc Mesa hasn't been at NAMM for a number of years.

Less companies are making the trip - it just isn't worth the expense. In a 24/7 interconnected world, trade shows have decreasing importance. Used to be that most of the deals for the year were written at NAMM. Now it is mostly just to meet people F2F and maintain relationships.

Curious how much the show has shrunk. I haven't gone in a few years (with my ears thanking me), but it was contracting from when I first started attending in the late 80's. Namthrax likely is still strong though :D
