L&M's Eagles Fastlane::

It's time for a change....

After working on it this summer, we feel that our new site design is ready. We've backed up the entire site, recreated the structure of the site on the new platform and are ready to transition.

Here's what this means for you.  The address www.eaglesfans.com will still work to access the site.  It will take a while for the network registry to move where the site is pointing.  The latest news page will have a new address.  As soon as we've got it, we'll post it here, the message board and facebook. We know a lot of people have that bookmarked as their access point to the site. That will need to be updated.

Over the course of the next little while, we will be bringing back parts of the site, and featuring them. It's been fun for us to rediscover what's all on here.  This is a little scary for us because the site has been housed on this server for almost 10 years. Cross your fingers. 

If you have any other questions about the move or where your favorite features have gone, don't hesitate to ask. We will keep this typepad site up for about a month so people have a chance to move along with us.

Happy Birthday Melissa!!

TourBlog /Calendar Update

I've added several Melbourne reviews to the TourBlog.

Also, all of the calendars have been shipped so you should be eeceiving them soon. Thanks again to everyone who ordered a calendar and to everyone who made a donation to the server fund. You are amazing.  What we raised paid for us to renew our domain names and pay for the server for 1/2 of the year. You are amazing!

Calendar Update

We want to thank everyone who boutght a calendar or who made a donation this year. You are all awesome. We appreciate each and every one of you.  We have ordered the calendars and they are at the printer's. As soon as we can pick them up, we'll get them in the mail to you.  We'll be processing the postage this week as well.  Thanks so much again. If you order a calendar now, you'll be included in the after-holiday batch.

Eagles Calendars

We'd like to thank everyone who has already ordered a calendar or made a donation to the site. We've updated the received orders list on the calendar blog.

If you'd like to order a calendar or make a donation to our server fund, it isn't too late. We'll accept calendar orders until December 10th. That will give us time to get them printed and mailed before the holiday.

Thanks again!

It's Calendar Time!

It's that time again! Each year, we put together fan-taken photos into a calendar for all fans to enjoy. This is a way for us to raise money for our site. Because of your generosity with our recent legal problems, this will be the ONLY fundraiser we do this year. As always, we are grateful to all of our site visitors and their contributions to this site.

This year's calendar theme is Eagles A-Z and features quick looks at some interesting facts about the band. Of course, as always, it's full of photos : ) There are some samples at the bottom of this page. The cost of each calendar includes printing (plus sales tax), flat-rate shipping and a $5.00 donation to our site.

Happy Birthday Lisa!!!

Today is Lisa's birthday. She'll be celebrating in style this weekend at the Henley show, but please use the comments below to wish her an awesome day today. She does so much to hold this community together.

Happy Birthday!

Lawsuit update

We know it's been a while since we mentioned it, but we're still waiting for all of the ink to dry before we finally put this behind us.  Again, we want to thank EVERYONE who came forward with their support.  We'll do a more formal update when this is all finally finished, but wanted to keep you in the loop.  Thanks again! 

Update

We wanted to thank everyone who has written in with kind words and those of you who have sent in support. We are blown away by what has been filling up our email in-box and our mailbox. We're hoping that the situation will be resolved by next week. Obviously, as this is an ongoing legal matter, we can't say much more.  We will keep you posted, though.

In all of the upheaval, we've forgotten to mention a new addition to the Fastlane family.  Jasper joined brothers Ike and Amos the day before we were served with the papers. There's nothing to brighten a dire situation like a cute puppy, right? Thanks again for everything. It means so much to us.

Using the Tumblr

We've had several people ask how exactly our new Tumblr works.  We're excited because it gives you, our visitors, a chance to create and submit content for the site.  Here's what you can do:

1.  Submit Content -- This is probably the coolest thing about this.  Visit the Tumblr page (http://eaglesfans.tumblr.com). Click on the "Submit Content" link on the left of the page.  Then you can choose to enter text (a tour memory or fun story), or if you use the little pull down arrow, you can upload a favorite photo (please give proper credit to the photographer or source in the caption), type out a favorite quote or song lyric or share a song or video. You can share links to articles or other sites as well.  Once you do that, we'll get a notification, we'll click a link and your content will appear both on the Tumblr and on the sidebar of the latest news page.  You don't have to have a Tumblr account to do this.

2.  Ask A Question  -- You'll have to register with Tumblr to do this, but once you do, you can pose a question, either for us or for the fan community at large.

3.  Follow and Reply -- Once you have a Tumblr account, after a short period of time, you'll be able to reply to our posts and add your thoughts. You can also reblog our posts on your Tumblr account or share them with others.

Please let us know if you have any questions. As we said, we are so excited by the prospect of you all being able to add your content to the site.
