I would like to thank Mum, Paul Hughes, Anthony Kiedis, Gram Ruby, Larry Slezak, Bobby Carlton, Travis Andreas, Jay T, Brian Virtue, Peter Katsis, and my other two f****** bad ass bandmates Matt and Tomo. And to my bro Jared, without his vision, perseverance, dedication, and support none of this would have been remotely possible.

And to everyone else who has chosen to believe ... my gratitude
LOL. That was Jared, if you didn't guess. I started to groan when I first got to "Jesus the Christ". It feels so cliche when people thank God for their accomplishments, but then he went on to thank ... everyone. *g* That's our Jared.
Hey, I was just looking at the two sets of initials - C.D., S.J. They would fit two of the ladies Jared has been known to date. *g* Oh, my. There's another set of initials - A.O. Can't wrap my mind around that one. I'm the same age as Jared and I still think of her as the little baby she played in "Full House". What's the deal with the barely legal blonds? (Edit: The A.O. seems to be attached to My Odelisks, so my original interpretation is probably wrong.)
EDIT: OK, enough with the initials. I assume that... CD =
Cameron Diaz; SJ =
Scarlett Johansson; AO =
Ashley Olsen. Cameron (08/30/1972) and Jared (12/26/1971) are only about 8 months apart, but the other two ....
I am eternally beholden to the following: My family for all your infinite patience guidance, love, and support... I love you all! Libby, for being my everything. Izzy, The Lawsons, Brian Virtue, Greg Lapidus and Jonathan Haft. My friends who I am so fortunate to have in my life...thank you all. Finally to my band who has made all my dreams a reality.
-- Matt Wachter
So who is Libby? *g* Edit: As of August 2006, she's Matt's wife.
My parents, Damir and Tonka Milicevic. my brother Filip and my sister Ivana... You all supported me in so many ways and I won't forget it ever. Everyone in my family, thank you for always supporting me in the quest for my dreams.
I want to thank Vicki Bosanko for being part of my life, I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for you.
I have to thank the Bannerton family for letting me learn to ROCK in their basement.
Thanks to all the other bands I've played in, you guys helped me get here and I'm grateful for it.
All my friends: Scott Blaszyk, Sona Sood, Erika Alfredson, Christine and Todd Miller, Wes Alfonsi and Jenniver Hiop, Rick Zoellner, Karl Wurm, Mat Morocco, Josh Devries, John Webb, Greg Lapidus and Jonathan Haft.
And a very special thank you to Brent Bolthouse, you made all the doors appear and gave me the opportunity to walk through them. I am forever grateful for your belief in me as a musician.
-- Tomo Milicevic
Tsk tsk, Tomo didn't thank the rest of the band. Nice bio info on Tomo; I hadn't seen much on him.
