Yesterday something awful happened. Our van was robbed as it sat in a heavily trafficked parking lot in the middle of a hot, bright, San Antonio day. The lock on our rear passenger door was pried open, and our gear and personal items tossed into a Grey Chevy Suburban that drove away only minutes before we discovered that the following items were missing: - Rickenbacker 4003 bass - Reverend Charger 290 guitar - Pedaltrain Pedalboard (pedals, too) - Sunn Coliseum head - Traynor YBA-1 head (baffle missing) - iPads - iPods - GPS - Passports - Luggage We feel confused, violated, and absolutely defeated. Were crossing our fingers that something will turn up and our gear (and my retainers) will be returned, but we know how unlikely that is. Regardless, whether its a matter of pride or principle, the last thing we want to do is ask for help, but none of us really know what else to do. If you feel so inclined, we will be accepting donations through PayPal (youblewitfl@gmail). If you feel odd donating, we have some shirts for sale on our merch store (merchnow/catalogs/you-blew-it). The kind people at MerchNOW will be running a sale of sorts where they will be waiving the typical processing fees that usually come out of what the band sees and donating it to us which is very awesome and very generous. If clothing isnt your thing, you can purchase ANY of our records via BandCamp with all proceeds being donated directly to the band by our lovely label, Topshelf Records (topshelfrecords.bandcamp/album/keep-doing-what-youre-doing). They will also be posting some rare items for sale in the next few days so keep an eye out for that. By no means do we feel entitled to your assistance, but I can say that absolutely anything helps. Were not the only band that feels that way, either. Have Mercy and Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) just suffered similar pitfalls, and Im sure they too would be very grateful for anything you could spare. Most importantly, though, I want to issue a very heartfelt thank you for everyones support since the robbery. My retainers are gone, so I cant speak for its attractiveness, but Im still smiling. We all are. - Tanner & You Blew It P.S. Here are some photos of the gear that was stolen, either in the foreground or background. If you see anything listed on the internet, please come forward. In addition, photos of the van door they broke into and the location of the robbery.
