May 13, 2006 - Hollywood, CA

Somewhere at Sea ~~ "Sailing to Home Theater Perfection" is the tag-line for the Home Theater Cruise, brainchild of David Bott and Gary Reber, and this week-long adventure on the high seas combines home theater enthusiasts seminars, corporate sponsored cocktail parties, and fun-filled days at various exotic destinations, bringing together enthusiasts, manufacturers, and industry notables to discuss current events and trends within the industry. The 2006 HTC departed out of Long Beach, California on May 7th and headed for the Mexican Rivera, where big fun was had by all. In addition to the ports of call and informative home theater seminars, David and Gary arranged for a surprise performance by renowned jazz singer, Nicole Henry.

And to wrap up a sun-filled week, Home Theater Cruise and Yamaha Electronics presented the annual Elf Foundation Live Auction to support the foundation's Rooms of Magic theater program. On Saturday night, May 13, with the support of Elf's corporate sponsors and some incredibly generous enthusiasts, the evening was a huge success as the Live Auction raised over $38,000.
