<div>The van has been like our fourth band member since our first tour run in 2022. I moved to Nashville in the Odyssey, got career-changing news in the backseat, endured COVID and some gnarly migraines on the way home from tour, and even wrote the first verse to "Perpetual Motion Machine" on a trip from South Carolina. We have ridden 65K miles together and survived many scrapes, a flat tire, a flat spare, a parking violation/tow in Toronto, an array of electrical issues, a smashed door in Ann Arbor, and now a broken A/C system, and at 236,000 miles (and counting), it is time for an upgrade.

<div>Any repairs would cost more than the value of this already once-totaled vehicle. It gets anxiety whenever it rains and we have a check engine light that flickers, seemingly related to the transmission. Most importantly, I'm not confident the airbags would work in a crash because there is water damage and leakage on the interior's airbag indicators and evidence of electrical shorts in other areas.
</div>

</div>
<div>We are also in need of some new PA speakers, as we have been asked to provide our own sound for a few community concerts and house shows this year, and the two speakers we do have are very worn and produce a muffled sound. Between $500 and $1,000 of our goal will be put toward upgrading our live sound.

</div>
<div>With each donor's consent, I will send a thank you via a handwritten postcard from a tour stop this summer. If an individual donates $1,000 or more I will add their name to a stick figure family decal on the rear window, with their permission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything beyond our goal will go toward helping us secure a better, more reliable vehicle.
