Photographed last night by a cooperative waiter at the chosen hole-in-the-wall, HE2006's event was attended by JA, Mikey Fremer, Eveanna Manley, AudioQuest's Joe Harley, Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal, Telarc's Amanda Sweet, Paul Seydor of TAS, and many more. The check came to an outrageously expensve $15/head!
