The Trash Bar Festival was an amazing success. Everyone who was there felt it. The sense of spirit and unity and purpose was undeniable. You could tell you were at something that was a little bit special. And I'll never forget it as long as I live. Clearly, the biggest achievement of my life so far.

I can't thank the bands and all the people who came out and shared in that vibe enough.

But I'll try. Here's my Trash Bar fest thank you list.

The bands, of course:

Girls like Cigarettes, Cathy, Soft Black, Ex Humans, Electric Shadows, The New Professionals, The Rats, Kissy Kamikaze, The Bullys, The Everyothers, Bruno Wizard and The Homosexuals, One Last Shot, Chumley, Super Potent Death Baby, The Naked Heroes.

My assistant recording engineer Chris Peck and 2nd assistant Matt. (Big Round of applause to those guys.)

Alex Dementia for his help and work on the video production. (another big round of applause), and the people who all volunteered to pick up a camera and shoot some footage for us (Sarah, Erin, Christian, etc etc)

And the others who made it possible behind the scenes and contributed to it's success:

Aaron Pierce, Walter Stack, DJ Mojo, Dave Brooks, Dean Rispler, Steven Blush, Owen McCarthy, Mark Fisher, Brooklyn Vegan for pushing it, Andy Shaw at Shaw Promotion, Mike Norbega at Volcom, Bebe, Tony, Maurice, Bonnie, Janine, Sherri, Eric, Zach, and the rest of the staff at Trash Bar.

Special personal thanks to my drummer Danny who promised to upstage me, and pushed me to my A game. We slayed 'em, brother.

Sorry we couldn't accomodate "The Legacy". Maybe next time.

Lots o' love,
Nick
