Acknowledgments

We’d like to give a lotta love and gratitude to the people

that helped make this book happen. First off, thanks to

our parents for dreaming us into existence. To all our wonderful

Kickstarter backers, who took a leap of faith with their check-

books. Without them this book would still be an idea. Thanks to

the team at Kickstarter, specifically Yancey Strickler and Kendel

Ratley, for helping bring our project to life. Lots of gratitude to

Bruce Tracy at Workman for guiding us with wit, wisdom, and the

occasional pinch of cheekiness. Our lovely agent, Andrea Somberg,

for finding us in a sea of New York writers—we’re grateful for your

unlimited patience and confidence. Our buddies, Kyle O’Tain and
