The messageboard that was slightly busted when I flushed the site is now fixed and upgraded to the latest version. I also updated all the plugins. You should be able to check out some of the new features like adding members from the "member list" to your own buddy list, selecting members to ignore, the ability to save IM's, just to name a few. I've also added the ability to comment to the news stories by clicking the link below each story. The link will take you to the duplicate news story on the message board where you can post your comments. I haven't programmed in the comment counter yet but it's 3am here so it'll have to wait till tomorrow!

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. Made up my mind to make a new start,...

and the answer is......"GOING TO CALIFORNIA"

The contact page is back up and I've deleted the "Upcoming Show" listing for The Natural due to the show's cancellation.

  The booking agency that we go through from time to time just contacted me to let us know that our upcoming show at The Natural has been cancelled by the venue.   This in no way has anything to do with us.  The booking agent told us that The Natural completely cancelled all of there live bands for the next couple months due to declining business.  While this is a little dissapointing, not getting to ROCK OUT as we do , we are working on an acoustic set for the Sam Ash music store in Burbank for the very near future.  So keep an eye out.

  For anyone that didn't hear.... One week after starting to record a couple new songs for all you FOKers Jeff, being the perpetual daredevil he is, goes and fractures his foot delaying the recording process at least another month.  Broken foot and kick drum, not good buddies.

  Never fear, it is healing nicely and should be ready to go in the next couple of weeks. 

  Very soon we will be having some good news for you all, if everything goes to plan, about the future of KNOCKHOPPER.  

  Keep checking the site for the info on that!

As you can see the site is back up. I apologize for the delay. I know I said that I'd only have the site down for the weekend and instead it was down for about a week and a half. As I was adding new sections to the site I found it would be easier and better to rebuild the site from scratch using the original gaphical elements. It took a few days longer but the site now runs like it was supposed to when it was originally designed. Only a few sections are up 100% like the news, upcoming shows and the message boards. The other sections and archives will return over the next several days. Also the 2 new sections you see over on the menu will be up shortly, especially the store. We're just working out the final details on some of the products. It's a new thing for us so please be patient while we work them out.

Again thanks for your patience!
