If we're not bankrupt by the end of the year I'll be amazed. Yes.

But I've said that 4 years in a row, and here I still am.

When business gets slow, The Mudcat is vulnerable. To run the Mudcat without any equipment/bandwidth/software from Onstage I estimate modestly that it would cost about $400 per month. If we want to separate the fate of Mudcat with the fate of Onstage, that is what we need. In the meantime, Onstage is glad to continue to do what it does.

The best way to support the Mudcat is to find work for Onstage. That keeps the bills paid. Any money we get from contributions, calendar sales, auctions, etc. I'll put in the Mudcat bank account in preparation for the always-possible sale or fold of Onstage. I would like to raise $400 per month from the Mudcat, that's a goal and a challenge for you and for me.

I'm an entrepreneur. I take chances. That is what I do for a living, and I love it. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, that's OK with me, that's the game. Onstage is the chips with which I gamble. Onstage happens to currently support about 90% of the Mudcat, which ties them together. The Mudcat has become something that I am unwilling to throw into the pot. $400 per month will set it free. In the meantime, its in the mix.
