PEOPLE WE LIKE

These are people we think highly of, and we will continue to think so for the rest of our lives:

Bindlestiff Studio family- Allan, Joyce, Jesse, Ogie, Marking, Omz, Phil (where is this guy?), Kevin, Raym, Theo, staff/volunteers, creative arts groups... everyone! You guys have always been special to us, and we thank you for all the help & hookups throughout the years, especially letting us borrow your equipment when we needed them. Thank you for all the kind words, plugs, advice, and everything!

Ronald & RMB Productions: we can't thank you enough for including us on your shows... and Ronald, thanks for all the mechanical help on the van! You are definitely the kind of person we need in the local rock scene because you care so much for bands no matter what. You obviously don't do this for the gimmicks, attention and money, and we have the highest respects for you because so. You are straight up rock n' all roll, no BS!

Our families- cousins, brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles... for understanding, the blessing, and the support.... or lack of it! =) Much thanks for being roadies/merchers when we had nobody!

Past/present significant others for understanding what this band ever meant to us and all the help with the stuff.

Lines of Darius for providing our rehearsal space in the last 2 years. Thanks to Mr. Munoz for EVERYTHING and more! We couldn't ask for a better rehearsal space which became a second home to us.

All our friends, co-workers, roommates & schoolmates who came out to the shows.... hope you enjoyed what you saw.... thanks for being there and giving us advice...

Everyone who signed up on our mailing list and came to the shows: thanks for your emails and much appreciated support. Since our early days, we have purposely avoided using the word "fans" because we simply never felt comfortable calling anyone that. We were *always* a group of big kids, not rockstars, who played music because we liked it.. To us, you're just as good as our friends (and we made so many out of you!).


Love,
