This past weekend, I attended Gearfest to help my friend at his company's booth. It was my first time and it was really cool. There were huge tents filled with the best gear from all the great musical instrument and pro audio companies. I got to hang out and talk to some cool people and attended a demo session on recording drums with Nick D'Virgilio. It was hard, but I managed to resist the urge to splurge! They had a flea market, an open box tent and lots of great show-only prices. All in all a great experience and I would do it again.
