UPDATE! Within several hours of posting our dilemma, we had received a generous amount of donations, enough in fact that we were able to pool together the last bit of our own savings along with what we had received and pay for the van. Even with the van payed off though, we were still wiped clean of all our savings to keep continuing the tour with any financial safety. With an 11 hour drive still ahead we werent sure what to do, BUT you guys still kept sending money! We filled up the van with gas and started driving. More and more generous donations kept coming in! We drove all night and found when we arrived in Ohio this morning THAT THE ENTIRE $1100 HAD BEEN REACHED! We are beyond words We had no idea what would happen but apparently we have some people who are not ready for us to call this tour quits! We wish we could give all of you giant big hugs right now, but unfortunately thats not possible. WE WILL take the time though to personally contact each person and send them some TOC goodies to say thanks. Its really the least we can do to show you our appreciation. This has certainly been a stressful 24 hours but things are starting to look up. We will be playing AliveFest today and we will be continuing all the tour dates on the War of Ages tour, so if you were planning on coming to see us, expect to see us there and make sure to come say hi at our merch table! AGAIN, thank you guys so much! -Dawson, Kyle, Tj, Parker
