- Firstly, I want to thank my business partner, Errol Ryan. Although we haven't had MUCH to do leaving you a little bit bored, I want to thank you for all the help you have offered me, all the advice you've given me, all the times you came with me to shows and other events. Watch out though... 2011, we'll be super fucking busy! I HOPE YOU ARE READY!
- Secondly, I want to thank my family, for being family, haha. For believing in my when you called me a moron, when you told me my ideas were stupid but you believed in them any ways. For being there when I needed you the most and for listening to me excitedly yell about bands you neither know nor care about.
- I want to thank Versa Manos, for publicly humiliating me in class, to prove a point. Thanks for that, if you hadn't done that, I probably would still continue using my myspace, instead of getting a real website.
- Jeremy Saffer. I want to thank you for being a big mean teddy bear. For showing me the ropes, the rights and wrongs of the business. For getting me one of my first interviews, that happened to turn out amazingly. For letting me bother you with redundant questions about stuff that you always seem to answer, sarcasm included. Thank you!
- George , for getting me into Mayhem Fest, for being my internship "boss", for showing me how embarrassing things can be, but so rewarding in the end (but still rather embarrassing). Thanks for giving me a head start and showing me how the PR in a record label works!
- Dave Shapiro, for being my new best friend for life, having an amazing line up of artists, and helping me out with getting press passes. Honestly, it's probably one of the nicest things anyone has done for me, I appreciate it and you so much!
- Jonnie Rosen, for giving me a chance to be a writer for his awesome website, and being our very first sponsor, clothing wise and company wise!
- Mario Rubio, my lil bro. For showing me the do's and don'ts of the music world. For giving me something to laugh at, for giving me hope once in a while and helping me as much as you can when you can. Oh, and for keeping Zo company!
- All the venues I've shot at, including HOB Sunset, HOB Anaheim, Key Club, mostly for putting up with me in the photo pit, you guys rock! \m/
- My teachers at M.I., for giving me the insight of how the music world works, on what I should avoid doing and how to come up with solutions to problems, and for giving me hope I can do what I want to do, if I put my mind to it.
- All of the haters, who said I couldn't do it, for hoping I'd fail, waiting to see me fall... because of you, I will continue to raise, just to piss you all off!
I feel like I've missed some people... If I have, I am truly VERY sorry... I can always go back in and add your name!
2010 was a good year for L.A.S.S., but, 2011, will be even better! Thank you to EVERYONE who has helped me/us along the way, for anyone who believed in me/us, for anyone who's done nothing be encourage me/us. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. I truly, means the world to me.
I wouldn't be this far, without you guys:)
Until next time kiddies, hugs&kisses, Hanna.
