My heartfelt thanks:
To Darryl, for your enormous heart & ceaseless encouragement, for being a kindred in always striving to be better (even if we might kill ourselves in the process). Without you I would never have embarked on this crazy endeavour. To Christof for believing in me and making this all possible. To my family, for loving me unconditionally, always. To Nicole for making the world, especially mine, more beautiful. To Brent, for lending me your genius and pushing me to grow. To Fritz, now I know you, I am not sure how I'd do Dear Reader without you. To all my friends who contributed to this album with your hands, hearts, mouths and minds. I am overwhelmed by the talented and wonderful people I am privileged to know. To John for mixing, but also for dancing, in the mixing room. You are as good as it gets. To Steve Rauner for the use of your studio space. and incredible instrument collection. To Dave and Stefan for giving me a home away from home in Portland. To Matt, Dave and Mike, for helping us with the monstertask of editing. To the entire Gang of City Slang, for all your hard work and support.

Mixed by [...] at Scenic Burrows
