Info On The 'Friends of FrankBlack.net Club'
The 'Friends of FrankBlack.net Club' was
started in December 2003, to help raise funds for
our friend
Pete, the owner of the server that hosts FrankBlack.net.
He had asked me if it would be possible to help
pay
for the usage -- since the site went live in September
2002, we’ve been lucky to have totally free
hosting, and this is by far the busiest site on
his
server (with over 4000 visitors a day thru March
and more than 300MB in the SQL database for the
Forum.
Beefcake!)
Very simply put, this is a way for fans of the
site to help out! Folks who wish to contribute
can now sign up for a small donation of $5(USD)!
I want to emphasize that this is completely
voluntary, and all will still have complete access
to the site
and Forum.
Benefits
There are benefits to membership, though! We’re
holding monthly draws for various Frank Black-related
items, from CD’s (like the Nadine single,
mentioned at the bottom) to merchandise, to other
completely random surprises. (It’s possible
we’ll find some rare items in the archives of
Frank Black’s manager...)
Other bonuses will be revealed as they come up! (Details
on the draw here.)
Cost
A year’s membership to the 'Friends of
FrankBlack.net Club' is $5(USD), and will
carry through for a full year (we'll remind you
when it's up!) A lifetime
membership is $50(USD) and you’ll be a member
of the Club as long as I have anything to say
about it! (The reason i say this is who
knows if i'll still be running the site 20yrs from
now, and what will happen.)
The easiest way to make a donation would through
Paypal.
We
will
also
accept
International
Money Orders.
(Note to our international friends, please pay
in US dollars, unless you are Canadian.) We
have also set up a button which should allow you
to donate directly with your Credit Card, please
click on the button after you fill out the form.
Currently, we're saving to upgrade the server, it
is a Pentium Pro, if you can believe it! We'd
also like to buy automated photo-gallery software
for
the site,
so people can quickly and easily post their concert
photos, Donations will will also help with maintenance
fees (domain renewal and postage for prizes),
and flying me to Portland, Oregon every few weeks
to hang out with Frank. =)
Thank you for your support, and enjoy the site!

show last spring:

Canada.
