Dec 25th Draw Results
Are In!
Our first three Lifetime
members are "Cookie", Yann Mege, and
Diana Richard and as such will receive a copy
of the Nadine single.
The five lucky winners
of the draw are "Snoop_Haiku", "BrendanT",
"Gauth17", "Cold Heart of Stone"
and Chris Keenan, and they have also won copies
of the CD Single.
Up to today, we've had
almost 60 people join the Club, and have raised
over $525!! Way to go!
UPDATE: Snoop
already had a copy, the new winner is 'KingPhilbert'!

Hello everyone! Here's a breakdown of how all this
works..
First, when people sign up, they're assigned a number.
I'm #1, as an example. (haw haw)
Next, i created a page to generate a random number
between 1 and however many people have signed up (currently
64.) You can check out the page i use here.
From there, i refreshed the page five times, and
jotted down the numbers.
The first five numbers were: 14, 20, 58, 42 and 61.
Of those, three were 'unverified' submissions. (IE,
i haven't received their Paypal contributions, or
something like that.)
From there, i refreshed three more times. Got 52,
31 and 50. Of those, another was unverified, and with
the final refresh, i pulled a 33.
UPDATE: Snoop passed on his copy, so i
refreshed and 42 came up again, refreshed again, and
pulled a 47 - congrats KingPhilbert!
Not too much to it, but it works. =)
We'll be holding monthly draws (and who knows what
else!), so be sure to sign up if you haven't!
Thank for you helping out,

ORIGINAL 'Friends Club' LETTER:
- - - - -
Dear fans and supporters,
Our friend Pete, the owner of the server that hosts
FrankBlack.net, has 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 2000 visitors a day
and more than 300MB in the SQL database for the Forum.
Beefcake!) I find this request to be completely reasonable,
and I have agreed to try and raise $500 (USD) for
this.
Thus, enter the ‘Friends of FrankBlack.net
Club’!
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)! If 100 people
sign-up, I’ve hit my goal, and all is great!
Again, I want to emphasize that this is completely
voluntary, and all will still have complete access
to the site and Forum. Coming short of the goal will
in no way affect the normal operation of the site.
There will be some benefits to membership, though!
First, everyone (and we mean everyone!) who signs-up
before December 24th at midnight, Forum time (PST),
will be entered into a draw to win one of five Nadine
singles (spinART, 5 song editions, see below.)
Names will be drawn at random on December 25th, and
the winners will be posted here. In addition to the
drawing, there will be three Nadine singles awarded
to the first three ‘Lifetime’ membership
signups (a member who donates $50 (USD)).
As well, we’ll have monthly draws for various
Frank Black-related items, from CD’s to merchandise,
to other completely random surprises. (It’s
possible we’ll find some rare items in the archives
of Frank Black’s manager.)
A year’s membership to the Friends of FrankBlack.net
Club is $5 (USD), and will carry through for a
full year. 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 easiest way
to make a donation would through Paypal. We will also
accept money orders. (Note to our international friends,
please pay in US dollars, unless you are Canadian.)
If donations exceed our goal, we will be put these
funds aside for other potential uses, such as server
upgrades (I’d really like to buy automated photo-gallery
software for the site, so people can quickly and easily
post their concert photos), maintenance fees (domain
renewal and postage), 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:
1.Nadine
2. Hermaphroditos (live)
3. Los Angeles (live)
4. Jane The Queen of Love (live)
5. Gouge Away (live)
Tracks 2-4 were recorded live for CBC Radio 3
on April 4, 2003 at The State in Regina, Saskatchewan,
Canada.
