Special Thanks: To all the lovely ladies who provided me with inspiration during the late late nights/early early morning hermit periods. I said we'd kick it after this release is done and we will ;) Rest In Peace Markus Manley. I never got to say good bye my friend. Thank you for everything you taught me about building community in the arts/music scene. Long Beach misses you. We'll do our absolute best to continue the growth and momentum of what you've built. I'll see you in the dream state and/or the next reincarnation.
