Where else would you get to hang out with Lenise Bent (engineer on Steely Dan's Aja, Blondie's Parallel Lines, and Supertramp's Breakfast in America), John Hart (musician and former CEO of Neve), Rick Allen (sound designer extraordinaire), Julie Tan (AEA Ribbon Mics), Jan Glasband (Equi=tech and theater impresario), and I even got to take Mr. Bonzai's picture!
