The fourth annual Rocky Mountain Audio Fest is taking place this weekend at the Denver Tech Center Marriott. Registration was up 15% this year; snapped in the line in front of the registration desk at 9am was erstwhile Stereophile staffer Jonathan Scull (sensible suit, smart tie, and flashy glasses), these days a successful PR and marketing consultant.

Last year, people attended from 44 states and 12 foreign countries; this year’s statistics are not yet available. Attendees include a host of spouses and significant others, for whom a Saturday “Spouse Outing” complete with tea, art museums, and mall shopping has been arranged.
