Update: Wow, you guys are crazy generous. The link has been up for less than two hours and I’ve already received about $400 in donations. That is more than the amount I needed to I’ve now removed the link. Thank you so very much.
You all overwhelmingly voted to upgrade the Amazon Drive now rather than later (The total tally was 71 votes for upgrading now, 6 votes to wait until January and 5 votes to wait until I’ve reposted everything). So now comes the begging. If you would like to donate to the site please click here for the (link removed, goal met).
I think that should work. I pretty much only use Paypal for this purpose so I never remember how to actually ask for donations. I actually still have $137.77 in my Paypal account from the last begging. That means I only need $102.19 for the upgrade. The previous two times I’ve begged you all have generously given and I’ve met my goal in less than 24 hours. In fact you’ve always given more than I needed which is why I still have money in the account.
If you give more than I need this time I will continue to leave the money in the Paypal account. If there is enough I’ll likely use the excess to pay for The Midnight Cafe url and the pro-Wordpress account, etc. I will only use the money for things that support the blog.
Some of you have asked if there is an address you can mail money or checks to, or if there is any other way to support this site. I so appreciate your generosity, but I fully expect those donating to Paypal will more than meet my needs.
Thank you so much everybody. I am always amazed at your generosity and thoughtfulness.
Mat,
I did my part and I hope others follow.
All my best, Robert
Thank you Matt. It’s a pleasure to donate to the cause. Appreciate all the fine music and your genorisoity.
Hi. I sent before but please tell me what to type into the PayPal window to send. Thanks.
Happy to contribute, Mat! Thanks for all your hard work and generosity!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
I’m not sure what you mean (I really don’t use Paypal very often) but I’ve reached my goal so I no longer need any donations. Thank you very much for trying.
Okay. I don’t use PayPal often either. But when I typed in “themidnightcafe.org” the address wasn’t accepted. I’m glad you reached the goal, but what you do is so great, I’d still like to kick in anyway. Just don’t understand what happened.
I provided a link and if you clicked on that it should have taken you to a place on Paypal where you could have donated to me. It isn’t listed as The Midnight Cafe, it is my personal Paypal.
Okay, Mat. Will try that.
Thank you my friend.
Ha, too late last time, might of been first this time,
thank you Mat, and all our music loving friends,
be safe and well, Blueschester
Hi Mat. As ‘I said earlier, I don’t do Paypal. (Sorry, a bit of a technophobe, my 70 th birthday next year!).
But will always be happy to send a few dollars if needed in future. (And if I still have some).
Missed the window to donate. Happy to pay my share..let me know how, or keep me in find for front of the queue next go round. Thanks for everything
Matt, something is wrong with my PayPal account and they won’t let me send or receive money. I’d like to foot the entire $103.00 amount if I can. Is there any other way to get you money? Do you have a Venmo account? Or I could send a check but I see you would rather not give out your address.

I appreciate that offer so very much. Truth is I’ve already received way more money than I need, but I appreciate your kindness.
I’ve now received enough money to likely keep me going a couple of years, but I appreciate your generous spirit.
I appreciate that. I’ve begged three times now for this site and I’ve always received more than enough donations via PayPal for me to worry about accepting money any other way. But I thank you for the offer.
Thanks pal, I appreciate it.
