1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

Hello again! Since I'm still relatively new at this monthly
update thing, please feel free to make suggestions about items
you'd like to see included in our monthly updates. (Actually,
even after I've been doing this for a while, please feel free to
make suggestions.)

If you're new to an egroups mailing list, try checking out the
main website at http://www.egroups.com. Once you log in, if you
click on the "my space" button, you can see the egroups mailing
lists you've signed up for. If you click on Geoff Wilbur's
Renegade Newsletter, it will take you to the GWRN area. There,
you can read past monthly updates. In the "Vault" 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.

Thanks again for subscribing to this mailing list. It's really
made it a lot easier to keep you, our readers, up-to-date on
what's new at the Renegade.

Cheers!
Geoff Wilbur, publisher

2) UPCOMING INTERVIEWS

The February 2000 Industry Edition of GWRN is at the printer now
and will be on its way out to you soon, if you're a subscriber.
Feature articles in this issue are interviews with Leaf, The
Living, Broken, Slowburn, and Planting Seeds.

Interviews completed so far for the March 2000 Street Edition are
with Firehouse, Motorbaby, Luna, and Loudmouth.

--------------------------------------------------------------

3) UPCOMING DEADLINES

Upcoming advertising deadlines are:

March 2000 Street Edition -- February 10, 2000
Spring 2000 Country Music Industry Edition -- March 8, 2000
May 2000 Industry Edition -- April 30, 2000

Advertising rates are as low as $50 (1/9 page) for the Industry
Edition, $75 (1/4 page) for the Street Edition, and $60 (1/4
page) for the Country Music Industry Edition.

Send an e-mail renegade@... with your e-mail and/or
phone number if you want to be contacted with more information
about advertising in any of these upcoming issues.

--------------------------------------------------------------

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.

There are presently no firmly scheduled Renegade writer
appearances at other people's shows for the month of February.

Several Renegade writers are, however, musicians themselves. 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), Saje (Steven Haidaichuk), SOS (MikeSOS), and Mike
Farley.

Also, Renegade publisher Geoff Wilbur will be in Bulgaria in
mid-February. If you're playing in Plovdiv or Pamporovo in
Bulgaria during the middle week of February, send an e-mail to
publisher Geoff Wilbur at renegade@...; perhaps he (I)
will be able to catch a show.

And Dan Killoran will be attending the NAMM show in early
February. I suspect it may be too late to e-mail him to arrange
to meet, but keep an eye out for him.

--------------------------------------------------------------

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 September 1999 and December 1999 have been placed online as
Fall/Winter 1999/2000. You can either follow the link from the
main home page or go directly to
http://membrane.com/renegade/win2000/

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.

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 renegade@....

Thanks again for reading yet another monthly update. As the
months pass, watch for improvements and additions. Feel free to
