I love you so much right now.

I found out they toured england in october (it's awesome because they are blue october) and I nearly killed myself over not seeing them D:

When Justin gets out of hospital and comes to England again, I'm so totally going.

On October 22, 2009, Blue October announced that the rest of the tour had been canceled due to Justin Furstenfield suffering a severe mental anxiety attack

as many of you know, the pick up the phone tour with blue october was canceled just before it was scheduled to begin. While en route to the press conference on capitol hill in dc, justin furstenfeld of blue october had to seek medical attention due to an anxiety attack. A lot went through our heads in those first few moments, but above everything else, our hearts and sympathies went with justin in the weight of his decision to seek help. We could not have been more proud of his vulnerability and we reflected on how this was a "teachable moment;" driving home the fact that you simply can't choose when and how mental health issues will affect you. That being said, justin was brave enough to ask for help and seek the attention that he needed.

Now, a few weeks later, we have exciting news: Blue october has decided to perform on the last two dates of the tour...again, a "teachable moment" that help is real and the human spirit is resilient. On november 20th and 21st, the pick up the phone tour will be at stubb's in austin, texas and we would love to see you there! Tickets are on sale at putp.org and shirts are still available at our online store. Thank you again to everyone who has helped support the tour and spread hope in your communities.

See you in austin,
chad
