Pete Doell’s Effing Birthday Bash!!!

Renowned mastering engineer Pete Doell, who for years has organized the popular weekly lunchtime meet-up of producers and engineers in Burbank, CA, was honored with a surprise birthday bash recently. An estimated 150 of Doell’s colleagues turned up to celebrate with the popular audio pro. Attendees enjoyed a delicious Mexican buffet on the restaurant’s outdoor patio, before digging into—what else—an awesome birthday cake. Happy Birthday, Pete! And many more!
