madison. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3895	November 25th, 2007 at 08:41pm Also, I know alot of you are probably distressed by the recent death of Hawthorne Height's member Casey Calvert. He was a avid supporter of TWLOHA, as was all of Hawthorne Heights. Jamie put together a special message regarding Casey on his myspace. I thought some of you would probably like to read it. - - - - - - - For Casey Calvert. "Hi Guys. I don't know the words to introduce this. I keep typing and erasing... It is with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that a friend and supporter of ours, Casey Calvert, died last night. Casey played guitar for the band Hawthorne Heights. I was introduced to Casey through a forwarded email. We've had the chance to get know a lot of great guys in a lot of great bands, but it came as a surprise to hear that Casey had sent an email to our info account. He wrote to us out of the blue, just before Warped Tour, reaching out to say that he believed in the work we were doing and he wanted to connect with us. Casey and I exchanged a couple of emails, and i had the chance to meet him this summer on Warped. In those brief moments, Casey was honest about his journey, that our story mattered to him because it was also his story. I've asked Michael (Schneider) from our team, and Danny DelPrincipe (The Almost crew), to write a few words about Casey. But first, I want to share a statement from Hawthorne Heights: "Today is probably the worst day ever. It's with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know." Sincerely, Hawthorne Heights Eron, JT, Micah and Matt. From TWLOHA's Michael Schneider: "I remember the Virginia Beach Warped Tour stop quite vividly. I remember sitting behind Bayside's bus in a folding chair, dropping my drink and awkwardly introducing myself to Eron and Casey, who I soon found out played for Hawthorne Heights and loved to laugh at my misfortune. It didn't take many encounters with Casey to hear his story. He was one of the most joyful, honest people I'd ever met, and an uncontrollable grin covered my face every time he stopped by to say hello. Casey was open with me about his struggles with depression, and so I knew when he asked if he could support To Write Love On Her Arms, he supported it with his heart. Our conversations furthered, and Casey quickly became one of my favorite people to talk to. I remember laughing with him when we both showed up to watch Paramore's last set on the tour, and we were both wearing LOVE hoodies, probably looking quite silly standing next to each other. The last day of Warped Tour, I snuck away from the booth to watch them play. Standing right behind him, I watched what became one of the most impressive performances I'd ever seen. Right before their last song, after changing from his shirt and tie, he looked at me and smiled, "Love Is The Movement" was the message his shirt displayed. I remember the day we took a picture together, both smiling like big goofs... I really think that's why we got along so well. About a week ago, I posted it on my myspace page with the caption "I am a big fan of this guy." That statement remains true, and will always hold true. To one of the most incredible people I've ever met: Casey, I'm so proud to have known you." Casey Calvert (left) with TWLOHA's Michael Schneider (right). Warped Tour 2007 - Scranton, PA From Danny DelPrincipe: "I just wanted to write something here about my friend Casey Calvert. Casey and all the members of HH will always hold a special place in my heart. Basically they took a chance on a completely unexperienced merch guy (that's me) and gave him the opportunity to see the USA from a 15 passenger van and turn it into an absolute dream come true. Casey and i definitely had our fair share of good times and memories. We bonded over our love of music and listened to many amazing (and not so amazing) bands on our countless overnight van drives. One of my fondest memories is the way he would make fun of my accent non-stop. Yes, i am from New York and yeah, i have been told that i have quite the new yorker drawl if you will. Either way i could always rely on Casey to completely blow it out of proportion and make it sound absolutely hilarious and way more rediculous than i actually sound. Another thing i loved about him was that he was so grateful and happy to be on tour, playing music and doing what he loved. He was always the first one to talk to bands that we had just met on tour. We even had matching bayside tattoos in memory of our incredible friend John Beatz Houlihan (which happened to be my first tattoo and i remember casey laughing at me as i was freaking out about the pain). I apologize for being long- winded in this blog, but i have so much on my mind right now. My heart goes out to his family, friends, HH, and his lovely wife Ashley. Casey, you are loved by so many people and you will be missed....Love you my friend." (from TWLOHA's jamie tworkowski) Our hearts and thoughts and prayers are with Hawthorne Heights and all of the friends and family and fans of Casey Calvert. We are committed to you. We believed in your friend, as he believed in us. We say tonight that his story was important, and that he was an encouragement to us. We will remember him, his smile, his honesty, as we continue to do this work that he believed in. To the TWLOHA audience, we will keep you guys posted as we learn more about ways you might be able to help. For now, we would love for you to show your support for Hawthorne Heights by responding to their blog. Thanks for caring. Community is the idea that we're all in this together, that people need other people, especially in moments such as this." Jamie.

I wanted to go so bad, but unfortunately I live in California, on the freaking opposite side of the U.S from Florida.

madison. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3895	February 15th, 2008 at 02:29pm I'm going to see Jamie speak on March Eleventh. I couldn't be more excited, I'm sure that it will be life changing.
Sally Stitches. Awake and Unafraid Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11740	February 29th, 2008 at 06:38am TWLOHA seems like an amazing organization. Methinks I shall order one of their shirts. :]
never coming home. Bleeding on the Floor Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1526	March 4th, 2008 at 10:13pm You can go to Hawthorne Height's site and if you go to their latest entry, there's a link to a TWLOHA store. It's there because Casey really liked this organization. I learned about it from his death and I think that it's great.
madison. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3895	March 5th, 2008 at 11:28am LoveIsTheMovement: I learned about it from his death and I think that it's great. That's good to hear. That's what was so great about Jamie designing the memorial shirt for Casey. So many kids everywhere bought the shirt as fans, and then consequently found out more about to write love on her arms and its message.
To The End; Salute You in Your Grave Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 2039	March 13th, 2008 at 06:56pm i love twloha! my friends think it's creepy, but it's not! i wanna buy a shirt but i broke. =[ i love it that bands support them, it's crazyawesome.
madison. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3895	April 2nd, 2008 at 09:45pm So I saw Jamie speak a few weeks ago, and it was probably the most inspiring thing that I've witnessed. If you ever get the chance to hear him talk, its no question that you should. I was having a few really bad days, and just hearing what he had to say made me feel so much better.
anna's just a kid. In The Murder Scene Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 21770	April 5th, 2008 at 09:46am jamie is coming to indianapolis in three days and i want to go so badly but i think it's too late for me to try and get a ticket. D:

Always Born a Crime Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 6726	April 5th, 2008 at 07:51pm i love this organization. i have three of their shirts, and i love telling the story every time someone asks what it's about. they gave me hope when i needed it the most, and everything about it just seems so amazing.
yelyahwilliams Tragic With a Capital T Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 45633	April 6th, 2008 at 08:39pm I ordered a t-shirt off the official website on the 12th march and it still hasn't come D: man, i think this organization is such a good and inspiring thing
lacey;; Always Born a Crime Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 5698	May 7th, 2008 at 12:41am omg i love-love this site so much! more people should go visit this site! <3
Black Presicion Killjoy Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 93	May 20th, 2008 at 05:23pm This made me cry. And the Craig person from that band - Oh my god, that was so sad. I really want to get a t-shirt from them. This means so much to me and my best friend and I support it all the way. I know that Hayley Williams has a t-shirt from them! But still, this is so sad and I also encourage everyone to get a t-shirt from them. It means so much. It just...it hits me so hard reading about this and it makes me cry (only a couple songs make me cry and that's it) and this just means so much to me. Well, it's indescribable how much this cause means to me... 17 million...that's a big big number...Please buy a t-shirt! I definitely will. No matter what.
ATTACK Bleeding on the Floor Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 1512	June 12th, 2008 at 03:12pm i remember somebody mentioning the site to a girl in this chat room. She was talking about her problems and stuff. A couple of months later, I was having a fit of depression and terrible thoughts. I literally dragged myself off the ground, got on the computer, and looked it up. For the remainder of the day, I read the story a couple of times over and cried. I took the message, rescue is possible. I believe that it's possible now, because TWLOHA changed my way of thinking, and opened my heart to help. I can't thank them enough for what they've done for me and so many other people. I had one of their bracelets a while back. I kept it on my left arm so I'd look down at it covering those scars, and I'd smile, knowing that I'd never make any new ones. Even though the words on the bracelet are long gone, I still know what it means to me.
WW108 In The Murder Scene Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 24511	June 24th, 2008 at 09:23pm I came across TWLOHA maybe 6 months ago and I thought: Wow. Jamie must be an amazing person. Haven't got any merch. YET.
