i live here in LA and go most of the time. last year was the one time i didnt go and missed seein' roger linn ( last time i met him was when the tempest launched)... :(

they are not as fun as they used to be. you see a lot of YouTube influencers and Tikki TOK people and they kind of water down the experience. now i just go on fridays and see some of the product specialists ive befriended over the years and then bounce. Everything is "leaked" online now so you go into the show with low expectations.. my opinion..

I need THAT Retro colored XL to get my juices flowing. I'm not feeling the look of the new flagship now that I saw the XL SE look. I'm emailing him to see if I can get my hands on one.

I never got the X SE and I miss my REN's look so I will wait to buy the beige bezeled touchscreen beat king.

You put you screen all the way up don’t you?

Wuddup man!
