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.
Please note that the November-January Industry Edition and the Winter Country Music Industry Edition have gone out in the mail. The December-February Street Edition will be out in the next week. Because the Industry Edition was a special subscriber-only one, there weren't any tear sheets sent out, but as a bonus, this edition will be placed online along with the Dec.-Feb. Street Edition in a few weeks when the Winter 2000/2001 online edition is put up. Please be a little patient, and then you'll be able to print your reviews off the website. (We have exactly ZERO extra copies of the Industry Edition, so there really isn't one I can send your way -- we WERE, at least, able to send issues to the three musicians/bands featured in the issue.)
Here's to a great 2001!
--------------------------------------------------------------
2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS
The Winter Country Music Industry Edition featured an interview with Brandi Ward. The Nov.-Jan. Industry Edition included interviews with Giant Sequoia, Vicki Logan, and He Fashioned Love.
Coverage of Undercurrents 2000 and the Northampton Music Festival will be included in the Dec.-Feb. Street Edition. Interviews with blue number nine and DePoet & the Monkey have been completed for the February Industry Edition. And an interview with Hermann Lammers Meyer has been completed for the Spring Country Music Industry Edition.
--------------------------------------------------------------

February 2001 Industry Edition -- January 31, 2001

Spring 2001 Country Music Industry Edition -- March 22, 2000

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 June and September 2000 Street Editions have been placed online as Summer/Fall 2000. You can reach it by clicking on the GWRN home page at http://membrane.com/renegade, or you can go directly to the Summer/Fall issue at http://membrane.com/renegade/fall00/index.html.
Also, we have created MP3 radio stations featuring some of our favorite artists and past featured artists. You can check out some of the publisher's favorite classical music at http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnclassical and you can check out some music from bands covered in past Industry Editions at http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnindierock. Please check out this fine music watch this space for future stations featuring bands covered in specific issues of GWRN. I'd like to thank you for your use of the radio stations to date -- on the "Print Media" charts, the classical station has charted as high as #2 and the indie rock station has charted as high as #4.
Also, please feel free to use the extensive bookmarks (including many music and music industry ones) compiled by the GWRN publisher. You can find those online at 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.

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.
