1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

If you're new to an egroups mailing list, try checking out the main
website at http://www.egroups.com. 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 "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. (You may also be able
to go directly to the GWRN area by clicking on
http://www.eGroups.com/group/gwrn/info.html.)

Thanks again for subscribing to this mailing list. This monthly update
ensures that, once a month, you'll always have the latest Renegade
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.

Cheers!
Geoff Wilbur, publisher

2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS

Interviews with Mak Wolven, 3LOW, Tagyerit, and Eiffel 65 been completed
and will be in your copy of the June 2000 Street Edition when it reaches
you... if you are a subscriber and/or are a publicist whose band is
included. A couple of expected articles missed the deadline -- if you
work with a band not mentioned above and expected to see that band
interviewed in the June issue, rest assured that those interviews will
run in the next (September) issue of the Street Edition, assuming they
are completed by the writing staff before that deadline.

An interview with the Krinkles has been completed and will run in the
August 2000 Industry Edition.

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.

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.
