Great to see all the pictures and once again, I would have been there if remotely possible … in my full “assing out” fashion. Happy B day buddy. Love you much.

Dude. You are the man, thank you for your messages and good vibes. I know it was probably a little painful that you couldn’t be there considering the amount of costume parties we have shared in the past. You could have just re-purposed the 300 costume. Love you bro!

That track is nothing short of incredible. It is to be expected coming from Mr. Tulip Julian, job well done.

So happy to be there celebrating with you Darsha Bradys.
