Website headaches, but we're BAAACK...

Ugh. All I wanted to do was move the dang website over to my own server I have staked out over at GoDaddy. Geez...it was like trying to pull a car out of a ditch with a puppy on a chain. The problem began when the domain name expired and the registrar failed to notify me (as they are supposed to do). When I discovered that the domain name had lapsed, I immediately went to the registrar's site (enom.com) to see about transferring the domain to my own registrar (bulkregister.com). Enom wanted $30 to renew, but I can get it renewed for $12 at BR, so I simply initiated a transfer request (normally takes a couple of days). TWO damn WEEKS later, we finally have a visible website on the Internet. Enom did not respond in a timely manner to the transfer requests (three of them), and then failed to UNLOCK the domain--all this is taking geologic time to get them to do. They just wanted to see me sweat because I was leaving them, I'm sure...

Anywho, we're back, and I sincerely apologize to all the club owners and especially the summer event people who tried to download pictures and sound files, or to just verify that the band actually existed!

So, this weekend we're at Finnegan's Mill in Newberg on Friday (I played there in a country band back in the mid-80's when it was called something else), and at the brand new Coach's in Cedar Hills on Saturday (check the Appearances page for maps). We so rarely get a chance to play the West Portland burbs, we hope that all of you who have been waiting for that will drop by! Eddy'll buy you a beer--just mention you heard about it on the Kid Lopez Blog...
