The producers would like to thank our engineers Emily Bernard, Willow Williamson, Henry Benjamin, Matthias Brueckner, Nate LaPointe + Ryan Staples for all of their free time, hard work, and positive attitudes--you all kick ass! Additional thanks go to our faculty advisor Tom Erbe for saving us several times when we got stuck in the studio; to faculty advisor Vinny Golia for his wise words and advice; to Kevin Bartley, Ron McMaster + Pete Papageorges at Capitol; and to Adrianna Day, Steve Gunther, Karen Beardsley, David Rosenboom, Lynn R. Rosenfeld, Anita Bonnell + David Roitstein. None of this could be possible without any of you.
