By all accounts, the first installment of the Colorado Music Gear Swap Meet at Cervantes' yesterday was a success. The two-level venue was buzzing with activity through most of the afternoon as vendors and gearheads alike made conversation, purchases and trades of everything from keytars to sitars. Vendors included well known local music shops like Rupp's Drums and Kolacny Music, as well as specialized shops like Broken String Guitars -- whose owner, Chris Nasca, came up from Salida to display his vintage wares. We stopped by the event yesterday, which our own Dutch Seyfarth helped organized, and took some pictures. Read the full rundown on our Show and Tell blog.
