Basics... I hate to tell you, but from the way it sounds, that guitar may have taken it's last shot! depending on how bad your "bridge part" is warped and how deep that crack goes, it will never play the same again - best advice, take it to an experienced luthier. Depending on the cost / emotional value the guitar holds, it may be cheaper to replace it with something with a good CASE :D
good luck!
btw - what ever happened with the chick?
