Based on feedback from the recent survey and a few personal emails I am adding a "Donate" option to the site. In a few days this will move down to the sidebar. All donations will go to my shell company musicMOJO with offices in the Cayman Islands so don't worry if Paypal shows you that information.

Philosophically, here's where I am. The site costs some money to run - hosting, some software etc. It isn't that much but it's something. Mostly though it's a question of the value of time. I've spent time creating, updating and maintaining everything here. If you value that - thanks for your contribution. If you don't - that's fine as well. After all it's about a band and not about me.

I will NOT be restricting access to donors only. The site will be roughly the same as it ever was - your best fan source for GPN information. What I WILL be doing is adding some extra stuff over time for those folks who donate. I expect to release a membership system in the near future that will allow this to happen so be on the lookout. The extra stuff will mostly be tangential to what goes on here. I'm not promising anything ground-breaking and I want to make sure you don't feel like you're entering into some sort of bargain or deal. I have absolutely no expectations (hey, isn't that a GPN song?). If you do choose to donate, thanks in advance - I may not respond personally but know that I appreciate it. 

p.s. - If you believed the "Cayman Islands" bit perhaps you should hold onto your money?
