Thanks to: Tim and Jack for letting me play with in the band, Brett-for making these last 9 years funny, Mary-for years of friendship and letting me pull her pants down in front of company, Jake-for making me believe in the power of dance when you're broke, Erica-for being an awesome and very understanding sister (and to Isis for being a little munchkin and wise beyond your years), James-for all of the cheap chicken and for making funny with your shows, Uncle Kevin and Uncle Robert-for your wit and abilities to put life into perspective, all of the shitty bands that give me inspiration to be better then you are, Mom and Dad-for giving me life and for being my first influences as a kid growing up (with the exception of pain), and to all of my family and all of my friends, thanks for being around for me.

Sicerely, Alex
