It brings me great sadness to announce that Caldecott Tunnel is being put on an indefinite hiatus.

I feel terrible doing this because it hardly seems fair that everyone gets punished for the hatred of a few, but I don’t know what else to do.  I started this blog with the purpose of meeting other fans who share the same love of Andrew McMahon that I do and to have fun.  Recent comments and accusations made by a few people have destroyed that, and I feel that running this blog is not the right thing for me to do at this time.

This blog has been open for nearly fourteen months, and in the past few, I have received a disheartening amount of hate mail calling me rude, mean, a bitch, creepy, a bad person, etc.  It’s not fair to me to sit here and wonder as I’m posting something if this will be something that will cause someone to get me at me, or when my next piece of hate mail will come, nor is it fair for anyone else to have to read such comments.  I put enough time and effort into running this blog and making it interesting that having people sit there and tell me what a bad job I’m doing and how rude I’m being makes me feel like I’m just wasting my time.

As much as I appreciate the love and support I get from most of you, it’s the negative comments that hit me the hardest.  For every 100 positive comments I get, it’s the one comment saying that I’m rude that really resonates.  It’s been fun while it lasted, but now I just need to take some time to evaluate if I think it is worth continuing.

I hope you all can understand and support this decision.

Thank you for the memories.

In other news, I am excited to share with you that you all have helped me to raise $1,885 for Team Jack’s Mannequin at this year’s Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk.  I feel honored to have been able to raise so much money for the cause.  Thank you for your help.

Also, Jack’s Mannequin intends to make their much-anticipated return to Europe next year.
