The Cellar HQ

It is American based, right? I recall a post saying "blah blah ducky's spam won't be popular on an American forum" or something to that degree. But for the longest time I thought this was a UK based forum. And the contact us on the bottom is just an email doesn't tell information.

Fresh, you obviously haven't fallen into any of UT's personal threads (re bass playing or his garden for example). To a furriner like me they shout American so loudly I have to sing Rule Britannia to find myself again.

I'm the most American of the Americans? I always thought of myself as .01% Brit because of my days as a lad in Sheffield.

I didn't mean to imply you are the apogee of everything American - although I wouldn't mean it as an insult if I did.

For example the things you can grow in your garden (no tomatoes grown outdoors like that in the UK I swear, nor peppers neither) and the band website. Also the descriptions of where you play with the band. It would be odd for a part-time UK band to finance a trip to Philly for one night after all

Shawnee, yup.

Which is funny cause I just received my tax return (and spent it) about a month ago.

UT's location, right under his name says: Location: Valley Forge Natl Park. You can't get anymore American than that.

UT is in a very popular location in the Eastern U.S.

Here you can see UT's house beneath the crosshairs.....er...Helpful Happy Mr. X.

Thinking this through, perhaps it's not obvious to new posters that UT is the owner.

And I'm not talking about 20 Posts Wonders either - Fresh has settled into the community. I was a lurker so it was, like so obvious to me, but perhaps as the net is being spread wider UT might like an intro on the Register page?

Something like this:

UT is indeed located in Valley Forge National Park (he once told me he has a hell of a time avoiding the rangers), but The Cellar itself is hosted out of a hardened bunker in the former East Berlin. That particular rack installation was before my time by just a couple years, but I've been told that it was quite a challenge to get rid of leftover Stasi elements.
