Special Thanks: Ill try to keep this short but Im not promising that it will be.
*First of all, Kim. I know this has been hard for you and you don't really understand. I know you think I am crazy (but come on, we already knew that!) but I really really thank you for your support. Thanks for cutting me slack when I dissapear for awhile cuz Julia and I get in our "working moods", or go to a thousand shows in a row. You are my best friend and you ALWAYS will be. Dont worry, no one can replace you!
*Jason for putting up with our craziness and always going to the shows with us when no one else will.
*Karen, I wish we could have been friends sooner. Thanks for the trips out to Ruby Tuesdays and getting caught in that freaking tsunami! Flipside will forever be mine and yours!
*Fall Out Boy and Mest for being the catalyst for this whole thing.
*Every single one of our bands, you all are amazing and I am so glad to be working with you. You guys don’t even know how much it means to us that you are on the company. You all have become my friends and every single one of you is amazing. THanks for putting up with our craziness! Without you this wouldn’t be happening so thank you times infinity and beyond.
*Dan (Stillglow), I really don't know how you can still put up with us. Whenever we have a question or need a favor or whatever you are always there, ready to help, no questions asked. Thank you for not killing us when we get excited and distract you during shows...I think it makes things more entertaining.
*Noah and Alex (Stillglow) thanks for the night at the Towson Diner. It made me feel like we were all friends and I really really liked those french fries and gravy!
*Trey (Dissidence) you have been there from the begining. Your respect for us means more than you know.
*Doug and Mike (Fly Or Die)thanks for always giving me hugs and thanks for playing our shows. You guys are amazing!
*Hence Reverie, in the short time that we have known each other you guys have impressed me as musicians as well as people. I hope that you guys had as much fun down here as I did, come back soon!
*Bill (HR) thanks for the chats...SMILE
*CJ (HR) thanks for the freezing talk in the pool and for the post it notes at the show at the grange
*Calls From Bethany thanks for the bread war, do I really need to say more? That was the funniest thing I have seen for awhile!
*Alex and Kenny (generation next), I truely hope that you know how much we love you guys for everything you have done for us. Without you we wouldnt have been able to have the shows, and without you I would have had to be involved in the bread war!
*The Hourglass Demo- thanks for putting up with my non-stop chatter. I know I can be hyper, thanks for not punching me or something like that! :)
*My friends for putting up with me going to concerts 24/7 and never making fun of me (too much) for it.
*Anyone and everyone who has shown and interest in POPR or talked to us about it or helped us in anyway. Anyone who took a flyer and didn't throw it on the floor. Anyone who came to a show. Anyone we harassed in the mall or at the movies or anywhere, we appreceiate you not running in terror from us! :)
*And of course, Julia. Thank you for becoming one of my best friends. This wouldn’t be possible if I was doing it with anyone else. You are amazing person and we have had so many crazy adventures in the past few months that it is almost impossible to mention them all. I love you and I love Passed Out Promotions. Everything will work out, POPR will thrive and so will we. The internet and the telephone are amazing creations, we will definitly have to take advantage of them during school!
*I cant even begin to imagine what my life would be like with out this, so thank you all.
