NEW YORK, NY (December 5th, 2005): Preaching hope and redemption, Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir travel the country on a pilgrimage, urging consumers to celebrate the holidays by rejecting over-consumption, by avoiding Big-box Mega Stores, and by supporting local proprietors and community economies.

"When 7 of 10 Americans wish Christmas were less commercial; when, as a nation, we owe $600 Billion in credit card debt; when the average American family spends four months paying off bills from Christmas," exclaimed Reverend Billy (a.k.a. Bill Talen). "We are witnessing the Shopocalypse!

The tours continues in spite of a horrible accident involving (1) of the two biodiesel buses transporting folks. You can read the blog here (http://www.revbilly.com/blog/ ) for more detailed information but the basics are, Tuesday the 7th, one of the buses carrying (30) of the tour members was outside Bryan, Ohio and hit from behind by a sleeping, speeding trucker and his big rig. Several people were hospitalized, most with minor injuries, but my friend and Director of a current documentary on Rev. Billy, Rob VanAlkemade was crushed by a table inside the bus breaking two ribs that lacerated his liver! He remains hospitalized in Toledo, OH. The tour continues and will be in Dallas; just a little more bruised than normal but even more thankful than ever.
