Annual Orlando International Guitar and Music Expo, Feb 1 - 2, 2025

[gearJunkie]

Going to try and make it out to the event this weekend. Thinking about taking some extraneous pedals and maybe a guitar for trade in case I find something interesting.

Damnit, I never know when this is happening! I’d love to go to one of these!

The only reason I remembered the event is because Google Photos popped up a "memory" slide show from a couple years ago. I did a quick search and discovered it's going down this weekend.

I’ve got a concert tomorrow night and I know there’s no way I’m going to want to drive to Orlando and back, that’s a 5-7 hour round trip for me depending on traffic and I shouldn’t be buying stuff right now!

Maybe we can try to organize a TGF member meet & greet for next year's event. I think there are a handful of TGF Floridians.

Absolutely!! That can be the precursor to TGFest!

Me either. I have made it to a total of one of these. If I had actually seen this on Friday, I probably would have driven up to it. I was just wondering when this was coming recently. I thought it was later in February or early March.

Never even heard of this.

They have these (different company) here in CA. I remember going with my pops when I was young. I need to take the boy to one.

Found a video walk through from this event on YouTube.

I'm going to visit on Sunday.

 

[JasonE]

Damnit. I found this on the first day again. I wish I had known this last weekend. I need to plan a little for it. I have to get up pretty early to get up there. I am sure Drew would too since he is a decent ways south of me. I don't like going up on a Sunday because I never know what time I will actually make it back home.

I used to live in Orlando. Several lifetimes ago.

Used to go to Abney's Music religiously.

It’s always the last weekend in January. This is the first year we haven’t gone in a while. Prices are too crazy right now if you are a dealer but it’s usually a fun show.

 

[Frankencat]

There is the Sarasota show in June and a new one in Tampa in October. I will probably be at one or both of those.

 

[JasonE]

Sarasota and Tampa are both about 3 hours away from me. Heck, it takes me almost that long to get to the Orlando show.

I couldn't go this year

 

[Frankencat]

Why, were you banned?
