letters for chi/ fundraiser/ update and prayers

Hell_Tanner · Feb 02, 2009, 02:06 AM

At least that will putt those "He's been awake, but they didn't tell cos'..." blabla rumors to rest, that's wishful thinking and it's understandable but we got to face the facts and be realistic, Chi is still in a coma and he still needs our help and prayers.

Can someone please copy and paste the quote from Chino then!!!?

I'm friends with his g/f Risa and Chino has no myspace page. Please prove me wrong.

If it's really that important to you, I will forward you the message if you have a myspace.

I don't know why I need to prove myself really to be honest, it was a reply to a personal message about Chi that I sent to him so you won't even grasp what his response is anyway..

I think that Chino's username is ~MASTERMIND~. He's on the top friends list of Deftones and Team Sleep

Don't you mean "don't", and ya - "you". Kind of stupid to point out a typo when... Ah, nevermind.

With the announcement of our appearance on Bamboozle, we felt like its time to address some things.

First, Chi.
Our fallen comrade has not made significant progress as of late, but continues to fight on from his accident. Doctors are working feverishly to return our brother to us, and we continue to hold out hope and faith that Chi returns to the life he has waiting for him and can join us on stage once again.

For everyone that knows Chi, knows that he never wanted down time. Chialways wanted to keep working and never slow down, which is why we feel confident in returning to the stage at Bamboozle in April. Chi would want it, and we want to make sure we're keeping his legacy alive.

Back in 1999, Chi had to leave the band for a brief moment and our closefriend Sergio Vega filled in to keep the train moving. 10 years later, Sergio is going to step in once again while Chi is down. Sergio is family to us, and had received Chi's blessing before, so without a doubt we know that if Chi could tell us now, he would give us his blessing again.

In the meantime, we continue work on our record, and as for Bamboozle, we felt like we needed to poke our heads up for a quick breath before we buckle down and get this record finished... So we'll see you all in Irvine.

thank god for some kind of update. while it's not necessarily good news regarding Chi, I'm glad they keep going and try to get the record done. who knows, maybe they need to keep playing to get their minds off of this shit...

13hourstoparadise · Feb 05, 2009, 11:24 PM

Well, at least I will get to see most of the 'tones again. I still wish he would WAKE UP!

defTHE1s · Feb 06, 2009, 12:00 AM

yeah, maybe if they keep busy, time will pass fast and when they least expect it, Chi will be with them all healthy!

TheWatcher · Feb 06, 2009, 01:16 AM

mono · Feb 06, 2009, 04:34 PM

A sandwich walks into a bar, the bartender says, "get out! We don't serve food here!"

A termite walks into a bar, looks at the guy behind the counter and says "Is the bar tender here?"

Hahah, funny.

Goddam!!! Cheer up guys and gals! Chi is coming back!!!

Is this for real? Because 2 days ago he was still in a coma.
