Spliff, Jill, Robbie & Brandon in Serious Car Accident

(transcribed from Suspension.org written by Allen Falkner)

July 15th, 2010 – While in route from Houston to LA, four members of our community were involved in a very serious car accident. Here are the details we have at the moment.

While on the freeway their SUV had a blowout, the driver lost control and the car rolled into a ditch. Jill Coudray and Brandon have been treated and released from the hospital. They are doing well and thankfully Jill’s baby is OK. Arwen(Spliff) Rosa and Robby(Ribble) have sustained serious injuries and have been transported to Odessa Medical Center in Odessa, Texas. Both Arwen and Robby have undergone surgery and are heavily sedated. Hopefully they are through the worst of it, but as of yet they are not sure.

Here is what is needed: First, donations. Arwen and Robby’s relatives are flying to Midland/Odessa to be with them and they will be incurring costs of travel, car rentals, lodging, etc. If you can donate anything at all the money is needed for immediate expenses and for future bills that are presently piling up.

For the Paypal’s donation account, please visit Suspension.org or Disgraceland Entertainment

Second, people are needed to help transport people and belongings back to Houston. This situation appears to be under control, but more help is always appreciated. If you want to help, please send your contact information to help@suspension.org

Finally and most importantly, we need your love and support. Kind words and positive energy help more than you know. The people helping right now are hurt, physically tired, and emotionally drained. Please support our family by contacting them directly or leaving positive messages online. Below are links to their Facebook pages:

Arwen(Spliff) / Robby(Ribble) / Jill / Brandon

From Neil, “I just watched 4 of my best friends roll their car over at 85 mph in front of me. If you are in CoRE, please call Matt or Steve, if you are in AGRO, call Angela, if you are in DHS call Razortongue or Orbie. I will be updating them periodically. Please do not call Spliff, Jill, Ribble, or Brandon as they do not have their phones. Send all your prayers and love their way.”

Neil, Sara, Noman, Vivian and everyone else that is there, be strong. We love you all.

Pend premiere @ The Ritz (Warren, MI)

It is going to be a very casual night this time, folks! Some sexy ladies’ flesh tugs, a Jap, and perhaps hanging from hooks even!

I say blood shall be flowing rather well by 10 pm, and perhaps few loud screams of terror by midnight.

So come one, come all! It is a family show for the dysfunctional!
