Lion of Ido

I think we may have freaked everyone out with our frantic twitters so I thought it appropriate to clear up what’s been happening. It all began when our windshield wipers broke in the rain on the way to the Rhode Island show. Tension grew as we raced to solve our problem. Finally, the incredible Flannery family in Chelmsford MA lent us two cars and we made the show on time despite the odds. The next day Crista woke up feeling sick and we ended up having to drop her at the ER mere hours before our Connecticut show. After the show we lost our host Jenn and struggled to find a pharmacy for Crista’s medication. We finally found Jenn early in the morning and slept for a few hours before heading back to NY state to get Crista’s medication. On the way through CT a state trooper stopped us, gave out 2 tickets and threatened to impound our trailer if we didn’t register immediately. We pulled into a Target parking lot and spent the day on the phone registering the trailer while Crista and Zach sped off to get medicine. After finally re-convening, changing a tire, registering a trailer and getting medication from NY state, we were finally on our way to NH and with time to spare. We thought our problems were all behind us… and unfortunately they were. As we got up to speed on the highway our trunk sprung open and bags began spilling out under our trailer and onto the roadway. While we were attempting to save our belongings, we watched a semi pulverize Zach’s bag spreading chemistry papers and video camera all over the road. As cars tried to avoid the debris, ido, zach, and crista watched helplessly as a car lost control heading right for our jeep with adam and steve still inside… It regained control inches before hitting our vehicle.
Shaken up, we headed up to the next show only to find that it was cancelled long before we even left. At that point Taco Bell and Jack Daniels came to the rescue, as well as our good friend Haley.
Even still, our tour has been an amazing bonding experience. I personally feel closer to everyone in this band than ever before. Despite all the setbacks we are still in it to win it.
