Darkest Hour News - minus $12,000[views:13867][posts:10]______________________________________ [Aug 24,2003 1:01am - the_reverend ""] in canada yesterday, darkest hour had $12,000 stolen from them along with all their personal things from their van (cellphones and stuff). this money was for their tour. now, I think they are begging for change to make the rest of the tour. |

They should have been turning that cash into Money Orders or wiring it to a bank account instead of carrying that much on them. It's all easy to say after the fact, you never think that'll happen to you. I wish them the best of luck in their recovery efforts, and hope the rest of their tour goes well. Wicked Pisser! |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2003 10:07am - the_reverend ""] agreed, but think. they have never been in this position before... that's a fuck load of money. |
