Redhook Brewery has a long history of making some of the finest full-bodied, hand-crafted beer in the Northwest. And it just so happens that they are just down the road from Mackie world headquarters in Woodinville, WA. Every summer, Redhook holds a series of outdoor movies nights called Redhook Moonlight Cinema. Basically, just combine one part giant inflatable screen, two parts Mackie powered loudspeakers and 20 billion parts beer and there you go. It is really fun and a great way to spend a summer evening. This summer, Mackie and Redhook partnered to show some really cool flicks. The lineup included Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, 300, Kingpin, The Shining and Knocked Up. Like I said…fun for all…ever watched The Shining outdoors? It is an odd experience. One night, in particular, was Military Appreciation Night and anyone with a Military ID was granted free admission, although there are no weapons permitted on Redhook’s campus. The movie shown was…Top Gun. Needless to say, the audience was sympathetic to the epic tale of friendship and intense competition so effectively conveyed by such characters as “Maverick” and “Iceman”. In fact there was hardly a dry eye in the place when “Goose” met his untimely end, foolhardily engaging the airplanes canopy during an emergency ejection. However, Top Gun fans will remember that good always triumphs evil and “Maverick” learns a valuable lesson. It turns out that Mackie learned a lesson also. Movies + Redhook + Mackie = Good times.

Introducing The World’s Most Comfortable Guitar Strap!
I was talking to a friend at NAMM last year about how his heavy Les Paul was hurting his neck and shoulder during his performances; playing 3 hours a night for 4 nights a week. He described it as bearable but the thing that really annoyed him was the fact that his vinyl strap was seriously uncomfortable. This wasn’t the first time we’ve heard a complaint or two about comfort during a 20 minute rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Moby Dick so we decided to create a superior and ultra comfortable guitar strap. Introducing the Merino Wool Guitar Strap from Reunion Blues. This delightful companion is made of Merino Wool, one of the softest materials we could find just short of having your roadie (Francis) encapsulate you in pillows while you play! It’s also natural fiber, biodegradable and is trimmed with full grain leather. The straps are selling very well (will we sell out of inventory? who knows!) Anyway, we saved a special reserve for you, talented reader, just by leaving a comment below of why you might want one of these straps for yourself. So go for it! Free straps to the first 40 commenters! Best, John Maher

From Mackie e-News, mackie.com
One day earlier this year, avid race fan and dedicated Mackie Tech Support Rep Nick Kristoffersen came by the graphic design department looking to get a load of Mackie vinyl decals for his rally car. Now, all Mackie employees are loyal fans of the brand, but not all are willing to blanket their rides with Mackie decals (although you can see more than a few “running man” decals in the parking lot). Anyway, Lead Graphic Designer Jayme Delma was quick to ask why he wanted so many decals. It turns out that Nick was scheduled to race his Subaru WRX in Cle Elum, WA for the Under The Wires Rally X event and when it came time for him to choose his race car number, he could think of no better number than 450. You know, like SRM450, the world’s best-selling portable powered loudspeaker…or SRM450v2, boasting more power, clarity and punch than ever before. But I digress, Jayme not only fulfilled his request, but had some custom vinyls created for the sweet rally car. The day of the event came and not only did Nick roll up in the best looking car in the competition, he also brought along a pair of SRM450v2 loudspeakers for exciting turn-by-turn announcements. SRM450v2 Rally Car Check out a little bit of footage from the event and join us in congratulating Nick on a job well done. Also, be sure to check out some unedited footage on Nick's YouTube page.
