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.
And yes, this update is about a week late -- been a bit busy planning the thing that'll make next month's update about a week late, too. That's right, you can expect your August update after I get back from my honeymoon. As an aside, for those of you who are regular advertisers or, for whatever other reason, need to get something to me for the August issue, PLEASE try to be a little early this time! Thanks!

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.

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.
