If you had the courage to listen to "Funny Face" last week, then you know it's been a rough week for Ian. We are taking the week off in respect for Stan.

Ian's unfiltered, heartbreaking poem for Stanley, "Funny Face". ( 12/1/2008 - 10/28/2021 ). I will always love you. We will always be together. I am living in the day I feared the most. The day you weren't at my feet, looking up at me. Our love for each other was infinite and total. I am inconsolable with grief. Thank you for being my friend, Bubba. I'll be there soon.
