Hello all!

I have good news and bad news...

First the bad news. Ulupica.com is no more. It's pretty tough to promote a site with a name like that, even though it is my favorite pepper.

Now the good news... The Chilehead Rogues Gallery and Registry is moving to a new home at http://ChileheadsOnline.com and changing names.

Along with the new site, I'd like to make this whole thing a bit more fun and create "The Mystic Order Of Capsicum Rogues." By signing up and submitting your picture, you too can become a Capsicum Rogue, complete with laminated, numbered, illustrated, ID card. You'll need to include your full name and address in order to receive a card but don't worry, all information gathered on my site will be strictly guarded and never used commercially.

While the entire site is not yet ready for public viewing, the registry page is available for anyone who wants to get in on the ground floor (and get a lower numbered card). 
You can also upload a photo right from the web... no having to e-mail it to me anymore.

Also planned for this site is 

- A coming events calendar where you can list upcoming hot lucks, chile festivals, or any capsicum-related happening, even your birthday.

- A live Chilehead Chat page for anyone whose spouse/significant other just won't sit still and listen to your chile-ramblings for another second.

- Reviews (both mine and yours) of sauces, web sites, restaurants, and other hot products.

- An Open Fields section for photos taken at Jim Campbell's Open Fields event. Bill Jernigan's annual Open Fields Slide Show will also be available here.

- And many other features to be added as I get things going :)

I'd like to make this site a real online community and act as a gathering place for listmembers and anyone else engaged in the pursuit of capsaicin delights.

Thanks for reading my shameless plug and I hope to hear from you all very soon.
