| If there's one thing that I want to say right now, it's that you guys are all seeing my dreams come true before my eyes. The past few years have been a crazy rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs, but y'all have stuck with me all the way through! So many people have given me my chance in the spotlight, now I want to give them theirs... Wade - You taught me so much...not just about entertainment, but about who I am as a person. Working with you was such an awesome experience, and I wouldn't trade our lunches for the world. "Where are my keys?!" Thank you for always believing in me, for you're a lot of the reason I'm still doing this. Thank you. You're incredible. Everyone at the Helen Wells Agency - Thank you for letting me by myself, do my own thing, and still have fun doing this...I have the best management team ever! You guys work so hard on my behalf, and I love ya for it! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Vicki / Northside - Working with you guys was one of the most eye-opening experiences I could ask for. Thank you for allowing me to come in, do my thing, and become a part of the team! You guys have completely changed my life..thank you for everything. I love you. Cherie - For being the first major label artist to support me! It was truly my honor sharing the stage with you, and I have to say, I wish I had half your talent. You're an amazing asset to this industry, and we're lucky to have you. Thanks again for everything - can't wait to see you again!!! Everyone on the "Simon DTour Live" Tour - You guys were too cool! Thanks to everyone that made our time on the tour incredible: "Mr. Ryan Cabrera" - you're freakin' hilarious, dude! I love your album, & you're one of the coolest people I've met. Rock on bro.

Ben ("Head of Security & Escorts")- for keepin' us all safe in the ghetto (hahaha)! Greg!!! - for finding my sunglasses! You're the man! I owe you bigtime! "Phez" - for givin' us true VIP treatment, even if we didn't meet your requests...lol. You truly put panic upon us. And if I missed anyone, sorry, y'all are still amazing!!!! Emmis Communications (Especially Mysti & Doc)- My experiences with you guys have been nothing but awesome! I LOVE the fact that you were one of the few major stations to take that chance with me and allow me the amazing opportunities that you've allowed me. Your support and encouragement has been incredible, and to have worked with such an influencial station, especially growing up knowing you guys is INCREDIBLE. Thanks for everything - this is only the beginning! P.S. - Mysti, you get a special shoutout because you're incredible. Thank you so much for doing everything in your power to support me! Your support and friendship means the world to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love ya. AshTack! - I have had the time of my life doing "Chris and Ashley in the Morning" with you, and I just wanted to take time out and say thank you, for being the best co-host a guy could ask for, and just for being you. Rock on. Buzz - I'm so glad I finally got to meet you! Doing my first radio spot was awesome because of you! Thank you so much for backin' me and givin' me so much promotion! I recorded and saved all those promos you played, so I owe you. You were the man that started it all! Tony - To that great producer who first took a chance on me! Thank you for doing just that...taking a chance. I hope I didn't let you down. The gag reel was seriously the funniest thing I've ever had my name on - that's too cool. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement throughout my career. Sally - You taught me so much about performing...working with you was quite an adventure, but I had a blast! I love the fact that I keep running into you at my shows and at random industry events! Thanks for your support over the past few years! Love ya! Disher - To the guy that tried to keep me "camera ready" at all times! Hahaha... thanks a bunch for making sure that we always had bottled water and food in our dressing rooms during the shoots! I am so grateful for that...you treated us like such stars! I hope we can shoot together again soon! Crabtree - Y'all made me feel like a complete rockstar!

You all are some of the most incredible people I've ever met, and I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. I love you guys. Gary - for bein' my partner in crime and the big brother I never had. I wish I was half as cool as you. Thank you, for being my best friend when I needed one most. You rock bro. Angah- Two words: TOUR BUS!!! From two hour conversations on the phone, to "A Night with the Stars", to all of our random undercover spying and lurking on the weekends at Central...amazing times have been had. "Timeless" memories, indeed, and I'm sure there will only be more to come. Donny- Dude, you're one of the most amazing friends a guy could ask for. I'm hopin' now that we're neighbors, we'll see a lot more of each other, but whatever the case, let's keep the good times comin'! It's only the beginning! Heather - Thank you for being my escape from reality. This crazy ride is only beginning, and you were there even before it began. Yours is one lifelong friendship that I will always cherish, and never forget. Tab - You're my backbone. Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today. You hold me together, and keep me sane when my world is going crazy. You're amazing, and most definitely one of the best friends anyone could ask for. :) Courtney - You're amazing to work with, not to mention one of my closest friends. I'm so glad that so many opportunities have opened up for us, and I can't wait to see what's coming up next!!! I love ya! You! - I want to send a special thank you out to everyone who's supported me the past few years, and I hope you continue to in the future, because this is only the beginning. Thank you to all press and radio that has been so awesome to me, and last but least, thank you to the fans! You guys are what this is all about...you're all the reason I want to go out and perform every night. You make it all worthwhile, and I just want to say thank you for it. If there's anyone I forgot, it's not because you're not in my heart, and I may not even know you yet, but thanks anyway! Chris |
