lonesomexloveus Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 So, here's the story, straight from the band: The Story.... So this morning we woke up at our delightful Marriot Courtyard hotel (priceline, get into it) and walked outside to get in the van to head to Chicago for our second show of the tour. Only problem, it isn't there. Either someone is pulling some Merlin crap on us and just waiting for the perfect moment to unveil it and calm our shot nerves, or a talented scumbag stole our van and trailer with literally everything we own inside. Needless to say, we're crushed. Our most beloved instruments are gone, and trust me, we're gear nerds. After a great deal of scrambling and deliberation, we found a way to stay on tour, after a few days off to get some gear and a rental van together. Having something like this happen is the worst thing that can happen to any band short of someone dying, and we're incredibly stoked to finish this tour with Billy Talent and play every night doing what we love. Our most sincere thanks to everyone who offered to help us in any way, our friends mean the world to us and everyone who has reached out today is absolutely mind blowing. So here it is our limited edition Misfortune in the Motor City T-shirt. All proceeds from this will go to wiping away our tears and some new tumbleweeds for the insides of our wallets. Love, PTW They're selling a benefit tshirt to raise money to buy their gear back, so if you're interested, they have pre-orders up now! http://www.indiemerchstore.com/poisonthewell/item/7080/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idlehero Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 i hope they called the tow truck companies in the area. a van with a trailer taking up more than 1 parking space, could feasibly have gotten towed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kouka Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 a Courtyard Marriot should have cameras in the parking lot too, so hopefully they saw something there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
