NAMM PHOTO EXTRAVAGANZA!

Keiko Gutierrez, Thunder Row's reporter in the field, has turned in her picture collection for all of us to enjoy. The Thunder Row forum itself only permits five pictures per feature, so I thought it would be better to post the collection here, where they can all be enjoyed at once!

Ready? Then let us begin!
