Sydney, the boared's bard is calling all Crystal fans to come out to the Huntington center Sunday August 29 to sing Holy Toledo as she walks off the bus. The event will happen at 2pm. Here is an email sent out to fans today.

Holy Toledo Give Back for Mamasox
Ello all my lovely fellow Idiots ~)
We are on a mission to give back to Mamasox at the Toledo show.
One of the "boared" members had the wonderful idea to show Mama how much she means to us ~ instead of challenging her with some interactive event like water soakers. Plus we always like to be original and top our last Idiot feat. We are certain as well that at this point in the tour Crystal is probably ready for a little less action for a change.
This surprise of a sing along will lift her spirits even more ~ if that is possible since she is coming home a second time. But I know you get my Idiot drift ~ let's literally pick her up by singing Holy Toledo to her as she climbs off the bus. If you remember on her homecoming how she cried and mentioned that experience was the most people that had ever clapped for a live performance of one of her original songs, you know how much this will mean to her. Singing a song to someone or dedicating a song let's them know just how you feel about them and in this case considering it is a song she wrote, it is two fold an expression of our love for Mama ~ so it just seems right.
We have a couple of plans in the works for this, but our online part is vital as well. This is where each and everyone of you become very, very important in Twitterland and spreading your Twitterous Idiot love.
The goal is to recruit as many people as is absolutely possible (at least 100). The people that participate and help us out only need be Mamasox fans ~ if they are Idiots great and if they are not Idiots that is great too. We need 100 Crystal Lynn Bowersox fans to show up at the arena at the announced time to sing Holy Toledo as she steps from the bus. Now of course without having the time in advance not everyone we will recruit will attend, but we need as many maybe's and yes's as possible to be sure that at a default at least the 100 show up. Also keep in mind not all our Idiot members tweet regularly or at all, so feel free to contact anyone and everyone you know in Toledo and the surrounding areas by phone or email if you have their info and they don't mind you reaching out to them for such things.
With all that said, here is what I need from each of you:
Please send this tweet out as often as you possibly can ~
#holytoledo It's time to give back to Mamasox. Need 100 people to sing Holy Toledo as Crystal leaves their tour bus. LET'S GIVE BACK TO MAMA
From there I am sure you will be asked questions about the goal and how it came about and you can refer back to this email for those answers. Also please feel free to add to what I have provided in the tweet above ~ as long as it stays within the same guidelines. It is imperative everyone understands; to use the #holytoledo, it is for a group to sing Holy Toledo to CB as she steps off the bus, we are trying to recruit 100 solid responses that they can attend, the exact time will be announced and/or you will be given that info when it is finalized and it is all for giving back to Mama.
For any questions you may be asked or that you may personally have that I have not answered here, please shoot me a DM or email (though if email, please make subject line "GIVE BACK TO MAMA" so it catches my attention. As for the time of the sing along, it will either be announced or I will send another email with that specific info.
I know we can do this and truly thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for helping out. Mama will be very touched by this and she will know just how much she is loved.
Gosh golly how I love me some Idiots ~ sheweet idiots unite
