HAPPY 2006 KIDS, TO A ZILLION MORE AWESOME ONES.

I raise this bottle of Andre to you, awesome friends, who have made this one hell of a fucking rad year. It was my first full year out of college, and I feel like I've happily and completely snuggled up to Brooklyn. I have lots of nice people to thank; Callie, Ed, Sammy and Tod are standouts. Leah Paulos, Katharine, Pammy, Leah B, Mina, Kevin, Ariston, Leslie, Allison, Alina, Jeff Stark, Brother Bear (Noah), Ashira, Nuckel, Orien, Paula Z, Brad, Leon, Daryl, Jake, Bezer, Andy, Ian R., Ian V., Tommy, Krozier, Fletcher, J, Joey & Nina, Jacob, Mike Dibenedetto, Matthew S & Matthew W, Jennifer Baumgardner, Jenny Egan, Gillian Aldrich, Robyn and Asad too. My ears have been filled with Japanther, O'Death, Poorboy Johnson & The Goddamn Rattlesnake & Krozier, Matt & Kim, Aa and The Bell Orchestre. Also thanks to Black Label Bicycle Club, Wooster Collective, Madagascar Institute, Toyshop Collective, the Amateurs, Plan D Projects (Garrison & Ray), Visual Resistance, GRUB (and everyone who cooks it and the Rubulad) and the Levy family. Each one of you has made 2005 a fucking unbeatable year filled with happiness and brooklyn, and bikes and spectacle and new things. Thanks.
