Our varsity crew of staff writers and reporters are heading out to Anaheim, California to cover the 2009 Winter NAMM show next week (1/15-17). This means leaving just the kids left to handle shipping product in the JazzMando Merchandise Center, so we figure we might as well shut it down for our annual physical inventory. While the cat's away, the mice will play, and it's hard enough to get these rascals to count picks while the boss is in the room, let alone unsupervised. They'll probably be on the computers checking out their MySpace pages (can't put a block on that since we have our own) or messing with the owner's new Wii Bowling. Anything but actually working. (That's why the site owner usually does all the shipping himself.)

We won't be able to ship from Tuesday through Sunday, so Monday morning 1/12/09 will be the latest we can process an order. We'll be back in business again Monday, 1/19 to get your supply of JM picks, strings, and books, but until then, we'll be covering the latest and greatest mando toys at the NAMM exhibits. Hope to also catch up with the usual suspects there, Michael Lampert, Jeff Looker, Michael Lewis, and meet some new friends for the first time as well.

Stay tuned...
