Acknowledgements

I'd like to make a list of acknowledgements here, as it's been a long while since I've acknowledged anything. The following people, places and things have been influential to the Head Wide Open ethos. They've each played a part in the development of my intellect, wit and pre-pubescent body, and for that deserve a reward. Nothing that comes out of my own pocket, mind you. No, instead it's going to come out of my fingertips with the following list.

Head Wide Open would like to give a shout out to:
