Mean Creek would never have existed if not for my friendship with Aurore. We grew up together, and have played music together in one form or another for the past 8 years. She is my closest friend. Over the years I have watched her transform into the most kick ass lead guitarist and the most unique and interesting harmony singer in the rock n roll business. As a band mate, she continually surprises me with her talent, knowledge, and ideas. As a friend, she’s always there for me no matter what. She knows and understands me better than I know and understand myself, and I would be completely lost without her friendship. So this is for you, Aurore, my best friend. Or as John put it, “The other half of the sky…”

Happy Birthday & Love Always,

Chris
