Keep your eyes peeled on ebay and craigslist over the next months.  I am positive that whoever has them knows they are valuable and unique.  They are probably hoping for the hype to die down.  There is a reward, FYI.
And whoever has them definitely cannot even begin to contain the power that the Gretsch white falcon holds...

Alberta Cross is definitely opening for PTM. That is PTM's tour for their new album that you just listed.

Haha sorry Wiz meant no disrespect, was referring to their loss of equipment not their live skills, never seen'em...would love to!

Also just getting into P.TM and am psyched to dig deeper forgot they have quite a few releases! Glad they have Alberta Cross on board, certainly a criminally underrated band!

Oh man, no worries!  Didn't realize you meant equipped with gear  ;D
side note: Yes, I am seriously protective of these boys (same level of love and protection I have for MMJ).

Good lord lets hope they get those guitars back soon!
crossing fingers that they show up in time for our party

I saw on WGN here in Chicago the other day that their equipment has been recovered from a South Side apartment here and that there was one person arrested in the theft.

PtM sent the Chicago police dept. 5 dozen doughnuts as thanks for recovering the equipment. hehe...

They are still missing some pretty fly guitars and keyboards.  HOWEVER, per their twitter page, it looks like Gretsch and Gibson kicked them down some nice replacements.

So...umm...so we had this little party on Saturday with PTM and...well...not to rub it in, but it was off-the-motherfucking-hook!  Truly an epic experience! 

They sounded great (first "public" appearance with the new gear).  Jason needed a new drum kick after the party, cuz' they rock that hard.  It went so well, they loved our space (our friend's glass studio) that maybe...perhaps someday...we will do it again.  Oh and to top it off, we had enough flow to get AgesandAges to open for PTM.  They are just super too!
