On November 2nd, 2008 our bass player and brother Chi Ling Cheng was involved in a horrific car accident which has left him in a semi-conscious state. In his journey to recovery, the Cheng family has accumulated an overwhelming amount of medical bills that insurance does not entirely cover.

As a result, we will begin our mission to raise significant funds to help ensure Chi's recovery by playing a benefit show at the Avalon in Hollywood, CA on 11/19. Tickets will go on-sale for our fans this Wednesday, 10/28 with a general on-sale to follow on Friday, 10/30. All proceeds will go to the Chi Ling Cheng Special Needs Trust that has been set up by the Cheng family to help pay for the growing medical costs required for Chi's survival and recovery.

In the event that you do not live in Los Angeles, or you don't end up getting a ticket for the show, we will be launching a series of online auctions, an online store and making available other opportunities for you to make a donation to the Trust. More details will come soon.

We have the best fans in the world and Chi values all of you greatly. Please continue to show your unwavering support by helping with this very important cause.

More details on this coming tomorrow.

This is heart warming. The auctions sound interesting!

[Vesanic]

Damn... It's been more than a year, now...

Not that it matters much...  but the accident happened on the 3rd of November not the 2nd. It was a monday and a terribly stormy day.  It was also the day before the election.

I thought it was the 4th...today.

that's awesome... hoping for those vids soon.

he was sure trying to tell me something on the phone the other night.. his mom was holding up the phone to his ear so i could talk to him... and he was so talking about something.. i just couldn't make it out.

so he is back to trying to verbalize which is great.

By the way, you should really film the two upcoming shows and release them into DVD's to raise more money for Chi.
