NOVEMBER 2000 MONTHLY UPDATE
Hello, and welcome to the November 2000 Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter Update. The purpose of this monthly e-mail is to keep you informed about the goings-on at Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter.
You are receiving this e-mail because you (or someone else who is using your e-mail account, at least) signed up for this mailing list. If you feel you are receiving this e-mail in error or no longer wish to be on this mailing list, you can be removed easily by sending a blank e-mail to gwrn-unsubscribe@egroups.com.
--------------------------------------------------------------
TIME SAVER NOTICE: The only new items in this month's monthly update are the addition of February's advertising deadline and the addition of contact information for a new New Jersey writer -- not one of our more interesting monthly updates, so if you read it every month, just check out the new info, and save yourself some time.
Cheers!
Geoff

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE
If you're new to an egroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://www.eGroups.com/group/gwrn/info.html. There, you can read past monthly updates. In the "Files" area, I've uploaded all the Advertising rate and deadline information. I've also put all the pertinent Renegade website links in the links area. And I have placed a few upcoming dates of interest on the calendar.
As always, thanks again for reading our monthly mailing. This monthly update ensures that, once a month, you'll always have the latest Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter information at your fingertips. And if your e-mailbox is as full as mine, you'll be glad we only send the update once a month rather than more often.
Also, to those of you who are expecting tear sheets from the September 2000 Street Edition, they'll be on their way soon. Subscribers received their issues as they came off the presses, but the review tear sheets are delayed as I've been devoting time to getting the other issues out. Thanks for your patience.

Coverage of Undercurrents 2000 and the Northampton Music Festival will be included in the November 2000 Industry Edition, as will several interviews.

4) RENEGADE WRITER APPEARANCES
Whenever a Renegade writer is firmly scheduled to attend at a local live show or other event and invites you to say hello (and/or personally deliver a press kit if you'd like), you'll read about it in this section.
Several Renegade writers are musicians. You may wish to attend a writer's gig and use it as an opportunity to network with that writer.
Check your local listings for upcoming shows by Renegade writers and their bands; they are Pamela West, Chain Reaction (Eric Harabadian), Divinesnapperkings (Kevin Hurrell), Saje (Steven Haidaichuk), SOS (MikeSOS), Jane Wallace (Vic Gemmingen) and Mike Farley.
--------------------------------------------------------------
5) WEBSITE UPDATES
The GWRN website at http://membrane.com/renegade contains articles from the Street Edition of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, plus additional reviews for which there was not enough space in the print edition.
The March 2000 Street Edition has been placed online as Spring 2000. You can reach it by clicking on the GWRN home page at http://membrane.com/renegade, or you can go directly to the Spring issue at http://membrane.com/renegade/spring00/index.html

7) RENEGADE WRITERS' E-MAIL ADDRESSES -- INVITE A WRITER TO A SHOW
Following is a city-by-city list (alphabetized by state, then city) of Renegade writers with e-mail addresses. If your band (or a band you represent) is performing near one of our writers, please contact that writer directly to invite him/her out to the show. Each writer has the authority to decide to cover a show without receiving prior permission from the publisher. Please keep in mind that all of our writers have other jobs. Depending on their other commitments, some are more likely than others to be able to cover shows, though they'll all appreciate the opportunity. NOTE: a "*" following the e-mail address denotes that the address has changed since the last monthly update.

8) MISCELLANEOUS OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
We accept CDs and cassettes of all musical styles for review. Please send one or two copies to the address in Item 6 above.
We're always looking for more writers. Writing positions at GWRN are unpaid, though the perks are great. If you or a writer you know would like to cover your local music scene for Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, please direct an inquiry to Geoff Wilbur at geoff@....
On a personal note, I've shared out some of my personal bookmarks -- check out some of what I've found while surfing the web by clicking on http://www.blink.com/members/gwilbur. Maybe I've found some sites that could be helpful to you -- and I'm adding more folders of bookmarks all the time as I clean up my lists.
Thanks again for reading yet another monthly update. As the months pass, watch for improvements and additions. Feel free to make suggestions.
