I just talked to Max. He's in between moving everything from hsi office to the apt. and in the shuffle didn't get the mail which said his Domain Name bill was due for mudcat.org, so the problem has been that Network Solutions shut it down. He quickly got on the phone and paid it and it should be back up and running in its usual fashion, I think he said, in 12-24 hours, maybe longer, but I don't think it will take that long. Network Solutions knows it was important, as it was Onstafe, too, so it should be soon!

He said it's been so crazy, doing major cleaning out, trying to get everything moved and the DSL installed in his apt. etc. that it reminds him of finals week at college! Ten more days and then he said his life will be mucho better and much more normal, Mudcat, too, as long as everything does what it is supposed to when he gets it up and running in the apt.

IF there is any downtime for Mudcat, it could be between this coming Friday through next Tuesday and could be for a few days, so I would encourge you all to check out Jon's Annexe at www.jonbanjo.com/forum/forumlist.asp

Max has booked his first professional gig on the 15th of the month and is really excited about that; says it's his first time since college. I told him he'd been doing great on Mudcat radio and would knock 'em dead.

Anyhow, that's the news from what I hear. Pretty soon we'll all have our own cookies, again, and the PM's'll fly!**BG**
