Hi, SRS -
I'm sure Max could use a little financial aid to assist in moving Mudcat and setting up a temporary site. Mudcat's mailing address is a post office box, so that won't be moving (at least not just now):

The Mudcat Café
PO Box 3006
West Chester, PA 19381


Max and Jeff are trying to set up a temporary Mudcat Website. I don't know if they will be able to use the usual Mudcat address, www.mudcat.org - or it it will be another one. If there is a temporary address, I'll make sure it gets posted at rec.music.folk. I'm sure Jon Freeman will post information about a temporary Mudcat site, if there is one. Jon runs two sites, http://www.folkinfo.org/, and The Annexe, http://www.jonbanjo.com/forum.

You may want to check out rec.music.folk while Mudcat is down. Go to www.google.com and select "groups." Then enter rec.music.folk. To post, you have to register with Google.

Oh, and I doubt that it will take Max ten days to move himself and his family - but it will take at least that much time to set Mudcat up in a new location, with a new Internet line and all that. Think about the challenge of moving Mudcat, PLUS all the effort and time it takes to move a family. I hope it all goes smoothly, Max.
