thanks to michael mcquilken, thor harris, chad raines, jherek bischoff, our producer john congleton, my whole home-team office crew in the states (especially eric, sean, hayley, superkate, and the famehouse folks), all our magnificent opening bands, all the volunteer members of the grand theft orchestra, thanks to all who came to our shows large and small, our booking agents for making the shows exists, our publicists and distributors, the people who worked in all the venues to create rock realities, thanks to those who housed us, drove us, lit us, amplified us, tour managed us, filmed and photographed us, sang with us, cranced with us, rubbed us, crowdsurfed us, twittered with us, took us to local museums and squats and bars, thanks to those who held us tightly in the night when we needed to mourn and cry…

…GOOD NIGHT & THANK YOU.
