ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

Firstly, my parents, Bobby and Debbie, who always encouraged me to pursue happiness and never told me I was stupid, deserve more thanks than I could ever give. They did a great job raising me, and I am eternally grateful that they kept the pregnancy instead of aborting me- that was super cool of them. My grandmother, Jean, and my brother, Ryan, I thank for always being patient with my artsiness even when they did not fully understand what I was doing.

Will Simpson, Phillip Klapp, Justin Gibson, Joey Bennett, and Dane Bradford have seen me transition from the awkward hooligan I was into the awkward man I am, and still like to be around me... I cherish our adventures over the 15+ years we have been friends and I am sorry you had the shame of seeing me naked, playing with gasoline and fire on more than one occasion.

Alec Seagrave, Eric Kaufman, John Ranalli, Evan Void, Jason Verdone, Fred Grabosky, Mike Lore, Alyssa Maucere, Ashley Reese, Catherine Upperman, Evona Barna, Dan Marchini, Carolyn Lapps, Megan Craig Miller, Alan Remache, Traci-Leigh Campbell and the Seagrave family are the best things I experienced about New Jersey and I thank God that they took care of me for 4 years of struggle and occasional destitution. Thank you for being a friend and more when I needed you.

Billy Hagood, who was the cool older kid when I was a lad, I thank for always being a brother, even after I grew up and realized he was, in fact, just as lame as I am.

There are several artists in Valdosta, Georgia, that make up a network & community that grows in skill and size every year, and I would be a fool not to recognize their merit and dedication to community when others would not give a shit: SiN, #holygrail, Custard Pie, Red Door & Cinema, Valdosta Wake Compound, West Virginia Slims, Divorce Ring, F***ing Time Vampires,Dying Whale, End Of the World Party, Me & My M80, Smiler, Beware the Neverending, the Bleu Pub and all of its staff, Teddy Schubert, all of the artists at: the Brass Quill Gallery, Firehouse Tattoo, Hollywood Twisted Needle, Diabolik Ink, & Ink Addiction Tattoo, the Dredges, Nate Slayton, Cyclops, everyone who contributed this record, and every member of Avow- especially Eric Herndon.

To Ryan Fitton and Christopher Mark G Grant II, who both died before this came out, I hope to one day shake your hands again.

Lastly, this album is dedicated to Evan Petersen, a.k.a. Slab Hamilton, for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than he is an asshole and I love him.
