Fifth Hour Hero recently updated their website with their latest happenings and mishaps. It seems like their trip down to appear at The Fest 3 was not without incident:

We got back from THE FEST yesterday. As some of you know our trip started pretty bad. Our friend The Chaman (who was coming with us) needed a little approbation from the doctor before jumping in the plane… after an anxious and long period of waiting (three hours) we learned that everything was ok. One hour and a few minutes after finally leaving for the Burlington airport something else needed to happen. We had the enormous privilege to meet mister " I want to kill myself " the deer. Yes, we hit a deer. The van was now fucking dead and the poor dear was also not so alive. R.I.P. the dear… and the van. We ended up waiting almost two hours and having my father and my cousin driving us to the airport. Obviously luck was with us and we missed our flight. To make a long story shorter it was problems after problems but we finally ended up in Florida in time for THE FEST. THE FEST was a lot of fun. We saw friends we haven't seen in a long time and would like to say a big thank you to Tony for putting on such a great event and to everybody at NO IDEA for helping… Oh! did I mention that the van is a complete loss and that we won't get a dime from the insurance company? Fuck em. If you feel like it, steal money from your local church and send it our way.

The band will hit their practice space in the next few weeks to write and demo for their follow up to Scattered Sentences. It's expected next year on No Idea.
