Admittedly, this is a freaking GREAT place to be stranded. Some of our best friends live here and have no problem putting us up for a couple days. But unfortunately, the cost of getting us back on the road is going to be crazy expensive. <br/><br/> In order to raise the money we need to fix the van and get caught up with the tour, we are performing live on the Internet tonight! At 8 PM EST, our show will be live at <a href="http://www.stageit.com/the_winter_sounds/the_winter_sounds_play_tracks_from_their_new_album_runner_to_help_raise_money_to_fix_their_van/9265">this link</a> and anyone around the world can donate what they want to tune in. More info can be found at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/236712486436457/">Facebook event.</a><br/><br/> Finally, our amazing friends and abandoned tour buddies <a href="http://theseedyseeds.com/">The Seedy Seeds</a> are recording a new song. They will have it for sale on <a href="http://theseedyseeds.bandcamp.com/">their Bandcamp page</a> shortly and will be donating the proceeds to us, which is amazing. We’re deeply grateful for their friendship.<br/><br/>Thanks as always for your generosity. We wouldn’t be able to do this without the support of our friends and family.
