Received an e-mail from Mikel aka Raven of the CR forums. His band, Arminta, named after his wife and lead singer, suffered a great loss. Someone, cut the lock on their equipment trailer and stole the trailer and $20,000+ in sound equipment. The police have no clues at this time.

If you would like to help out, even in a small way, go to CD Baby and purchase a few of the Arminta and Blaq Lily cd's:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/blaqlily2
http://cdbaby.com/cd/blaqlily3

The web page for the band is: http://www.blaqlily.com/Web%20Page/Home.html

There will be a new cd coming out in a few months.

Mikel is in a bit of a foul mood since and hasn't been on the forums lately. I'll try to get some updates from him and hopefully, they can recover the equipment.

sad.gif grrrhhh, this is really awful news! I certainly hope that some, if not all, of their equipment can be recovered and I don't blame Raven for being in a foul mood! I would be as well! Thanks for the heads up A Shrule for ways we can help too! It really is true....Mean People Suck!

So Mike, what's the latest news on the trailer?? Any clues at all?? Besides, a cut off lock!! biggrin.gif

Was it just sound equipment or did you have the guitars and drums and other instruments in there?

It's a long story but we are closing in on the perps.

Let's just say that a criminal genius is no genius at all tongue.gif A poor career choice for anyone.

The Indianapolis Police are no help at all but I have a buddy who works robbery in an out lying area who is quite helpful.

All they got from us was our big out door Sound System that we have used exclusivly for benefit for for the last year and a half.

All of the big shows that we are playing are Sound provided.

We do 3 benefits a year for the Juvinile Diabetes Research Foundation plus just about any charity that asks as long as it really is a charity. wink.gif

We average about 1 benefit a month at this time and are planning to step up our efforts with the JDRF.

I personally think we will recover our gear, but it will be and already has been a lot of work.

Thank you all again so much for your concern and support.

Slainte'

How about the, "I Need To Go Back To Ireland On An Extended Vacation" charity? Does that qualify for you to play?

This is really terrible. I know you guys are alright and you have done alot of fundraisers from what I read in the past. It is a shame that there are people out there that would so blantently steal from somone.

Perhaps you might want to check ebay for your equipment. I have heard people stealing and owners finding their stuff on ebay!

Thanks Paul

I am keeping a closed eye on Ebay, plus we have notified every Music Store in a 5 county area and faxed our equipment list with serial numbers.

Also we have notified every police pawn unit with in a 5 state area and provided them with the same list.

Our insurance will for sure pay for the trailer itself, there may be an issue with the equipment because we are professional musicians, even though we do not use the lion's share of what was in the trailer to earn income.

Had we not just done a benefit with multipul bands that had some special needs all of the equipment would have fit in the category of none income earning.

I've pretty well emotionally let go of the equipment and written off getting anywhere close to the replacement value. (my father always said,"Keep your sights low and you'll never be disappointed." biggrin.gif ) I still have high hopes for recovery of the gear regardless.

We just played at the JDRF walk for the cure at the IUPUI Michael J Carroll Track and Field Stadium and some of our local musician friends stepped up and provided the Sound for this show. No small feat as there were over 6000 people there and it was a lot of work for them.

Also as most of our paid shows and all of our big shows are sound provided, this theft has not crippled us.

Again I thank you all for your support.

God Bless you!!!

Mikel
