-JALAN Prod.-
To Jen, Artheta, Anna, Liza, & Nat. What would we do without yall? You give us so much that sometimes I think we don’t thank yall enough. So here it goes… “THANK YOU gals infinity X 2” W/O JALAN we’d be doing the same ol gigs, not our own. When I retire from this game, JALAN is turning into JALAND! Hehee
-Culture Shock San Diego 02’-
I ‘m so proud of everyone this year. Everyone is so talented and their bringing their ideas to the table. No matter how late it gets, no matter how tired we are, no matter how broke we get, we do it because we’re down and it’s worth it. Comes to show…. You put in love you get back love. You guys are Amazing! ….You’re the reason I “spank” dance.
*Special thanks to Aldryn for his hard work and dedication on creating this dope site.
