"Monthly" Update

October 2005

Hello, and welcome to the October 2005 Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter Update. When we're publishing regularly, this e-mail is sent out once every month or two to keep you informed about the goings-on at Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter. In this case, however, it's been a couple years. I'd like to thank the good people at Yahoo! Groups for keeping this mailing list intact. If you're no longer involved in the music industry or want off the list for whatever reason, you can (as always) unsubscribe by sending a blank e-mail to gwrn-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com. (Really, that's all it takes, though if you're one of our old friends who's no longer in the industry, we're always interested in hearing how you're doing, so please feel free to drop us an e-mail, as well.) If you have a Yahoo! account linked to this e-mail address, you probably already know that you can also subscribe and unsubscribe this and other mailing lists at http://groups.yahoo.com.

Also worth noting is that one of the better ways to contact me with GWRN-related business is by replying to a "Monthly Update" e-mail. It makes it obvious that your e-mail is GWRN-related, and our e-mail box is so flooded that some e-mails we'd like to read sometimes get lost among the junk mail filters.

If this has been forwarded to you by a friend but you would like to receive this monthly update directly, sign up for it by sending a blank e-mail to gwrn-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or by visiting http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn.

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

A) New Section -- October 2005

Hello!

Our new mailing address is:

Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter

P.M.B. 53

9791 Westheimer

Houston, TX 77042

That address is up and running and accepting mail for us already, even though I won’t be leaving Louisiana until the end of the week. Anything already en route to the Monroe, LA address should arrive before I leave town, so if you update your mailing lists now, there shouldn’t be any lost mail.

But let me backtrack. One key item, then I’ll include the usual GWRN update information.

We’re moving! As most of you know, GWRN is not my day job. Typically, when I start a new job, it takes about 3 months to get settled; then, GWRN resumes publication. As you have also noticed, GWRN has been on unplanned hiatus since moving to Monroe. A combination of the particular job and other factors around life in Monroe kept me from being able to resume publication. I expect this move to Houston to remedy that, though it will probably be sometime this winter before the next issue is published. I thank you all for your patience and understanding. All of the outstanding reviews will run either online or in print; once we’re back, we’ll catch up.

Again, I’d like to thank our subscribers and those of you who have submitted discs for review for your patience. Please don’t send me requests about the status of your reviews. Once I get settled into my new job, I’ll be focusing on getting caught up and probably won’t be able to respond.

B) Standard, Every-Month Section

If you're new to a yahoogroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn -- there, you can read past monthly updates. (If you are reading this on the geoffwilbur.com website, you should follow that link and sign up for the e-mail update.) In the "Files" area, I've uploaded all the advertising rate and deadline information. I've also put all pertinent Renegade website links in the links area. And I have placed a few upcoming dates of interest on the calendar. Your best sources of GWRN information, however, are at our official website (http://membrane.com/renegade) and at the GWRN information site I maintain (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade).

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.

C) Repeated From Last Update -- Please Read!

Disc Submission Forms: We’ve put a section on our website about how to get reviewed -- http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewinfo.html. When we update the official GWRN website (http://membrane.com/renegade) this summer, we’ll place this info on that website, too, and point you there. We’ve place a review submission form on the website (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewform.html) that will allow us to get reviews into the right people’s hands more efficiently, so please complete this form when sending a disc for review. Obviously, signed bands get reviewed on the website, and this mailing list tells you when that’s been updated, so if you’re subscribed to the list (mailto:gwrn-subsribe@yahoogroups.com), then you’ll know when to look for reviews, but for unsigned/indie acts, this form is particularly important and helpful.

Promotion Idea: Would your fans be interested in reading Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter? We can put together a web page for you (that will look similar to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/suboffer_sample.html but with your band’s name on it, of course), and we’ll also send you a Word file with a one-page form you can print out. (If you reduce the form we send you to 50% at Kinko’s, you’ll be able to fit 4 on a page.) Then, you can direct your fans to the web page and hand out the forms at shows and other events. (Most effectively, you can collect cash from your fans at the show and send the forms and a check to me through the mail – you know how people can be interested at the moment, but by the next morning, they won’t fill out the form and send the check.) If you have been reviewed or interviewed in a previous issue and if we still have copies of that issue in our files here, we will offer that issue as your fans’ “bonus” rather than the bonus shown in the sample. Otherwise, we’ll do something similar to the “mailing list” offer I referred you to as a sample.

What do you get in exchange? Well… we’ll offer you 50% ad credit – meaning, for every $10 subscription, we’ll give you $5 toward advertising in GWRN. You can find ad rates for the Industry Edition at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/ie_adrates.html and for the Country Music Industry Edition at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/cmie_adrates.html. Please zip me an e-mail if you’re interested, and we’ll get you up and rolling.

New Address: As I mentioned above, we have moved again! Our new mailing address is:

Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter

P.M.B. 53

9791 Westheimer

Houston, TX 77042

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update. As always, keep in touch.

Cheers!

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

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 at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/monthly_contact_info.html -- the shortcut listed in Section 6 above. If you are or represent an unsigned or independent band, please print out and include the review submission form on the website (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewform.html) that will allow us to get copies of the reviews into the right people’s hands more efficiently.

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@....

Thanks again for reading yet another monthly update. As the months pass, watch for more improvements and additions. Feel free to make suggestions. And hey, go to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/subscribe.html, print out the form, and sign up to get yourself a subscription to your favorite edition.

And hey, for those of you who are really curious, go ahead and check out the home page I've set up at http://www.geoffwilbur.com. In addition to a few personal items and a link to a website of job hunting links I maintain on geocities, you’ll find a page of GWRN links, limited mostly to things that need frequent maintenance, like back issue purchase forms and advertising deadlines... and links to the official GWRN home page, which is, has been, and (as far as I'm concerned) will always be http://membrane.com/renegade. (They're great people over there at membrane.com who gave us early Internet guidance and have helped us out of more than one jam over the years, and we're proud to be part of their online community.)

Hello, all!

First, I wanted to make sure you all are using the new Geoff Wilbur's
Renegade Newsletter mailing address.  (One of the advantages of being
on this mailing list is that you knew our new address before we moved
in August, but please make sure you have it on all your mailing lists
and in all your address books.)  It is:

Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter
P.M.B. 350
1868 Forsythe Ave.
Monroe, LA  71203

I have asked a music industry friend to pick up the mail at the old
address in Rhode Island, and I expect to have that mail sometime in
January, so don't worry about anything you've sent there -- if/when
it all arrives safely, I'll mention it in an e-mail.

Just wanted to get a quick note out to you to let you know of the
ongoing difficulties in getting GWRN back up on schedule -- I just
lost the other computer.  (That's BOTH of my computers within 3
months.)  This seems to be a software issue rather than a hardware
issue -- and I have been able to copy all of my files onto ZIPdiscs
with no difficulty -- so (again) I don't believe any information has
been lost.  I'm not sure how easy it will be to get it up and running
again.  I may have to reinstall everything, but at least I don't
think the hardware's causing the problem.

In any case, I don't know if I'll be away from e-mail for a couple
days or for several weeks, so I'm taking a few moments from my day
job to send this quick e-mail.

I was about halfway done rebuilding the Renegade layout (in temporary
form in another format until I can replace the software that was on
the initial Renegade computer) when this computer went down.  This
delay could be anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks.

But don't worry -- the Renegade is not going away; it is simply have
computer-related difficulties.  Everyone's reviews will run when the
computers are working again.  If there isn't enough room in the print
editions to fit so many reviews so quickly, I may run some of them
online instead just to get caught up more quickly.  (Even if I did
ever pull the plug on the Renegade, I would feel obligated to run
everyone's reviews first.)

Thanks for your support, but please hold off on your e-mails.  I
don't check Renegade (or personal) e-mails from my day job -- except
for this one because I don't have any other way to send it out -- so
I will be offline for anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks
(depending on the severity of my computer problem).

Sorry for the delays, but I can promise you -- it's an ever bigger
headache for me.

Cheers!

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

A) New Section -- August/September 2003

Hello!

Our new mailing address is:

Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter

P.M.B. 350

1868 Forsythe Ave.

Monroe, LA 71201

That address is up and running and accepting mail for us already, even though I’m still in Rhode Island finishing my packing. Anything already en route to the Johnston, RI address should arrive before I leave town, so if you update your mailing lists now, there shouldn’t be any lost mail.

But let me backtrack. Two key items, then I’ll include the usual GWRN update information.

1) We’re moving! As most of you know, GWRN is not my day job. As a few of you know, I have been out of work. As a result, for the past several months, I have devoted almost every free moment looking for work. (I have placed my extensive job hunting links online at http://www.geocities.com/geoffwilbur. Feel free to use them if you’re looking for a job or looking to change jobs. The bulk of the links are for Rhode Island and Boston companies and to national job search sites, but I have links to a few websites in other areas, too.) One result of my search has been a lack of attention to GWRN, which historically barely pays for itself and, therefore, did not justify taking time away from my job hunt. Of course, once I started calling out-of-region contacts (most of my “day job” contacts are away from the east coast), I found something quickly, but, for personal reasons, I initially tried to stay in the northeast. I thought being out of work would allow me to spend some time getting caught up on GWRN, but I quickly found resources to use that took 60+ hours a week to navigate, so GWRN suffered.

So, the good news is that, now that I’ll be settling into a regular day job again – and with a very short commute – I’ll again be able to devote my time regularly to GWRN.

2) I was planning to quickly get an Industry Edition and a Country Music Industry Edition out before the move. I had a couple free days and all the material necessary to get the issues out; I just needed to spend 10 to 15 hours completing the layout. So I turned on the old computer I used to publish GWRN… and I got error messages. I scrambled to save material, and the computer died completely before I had finished. The good news is that the mailing lists (including the subscriber list) and almost all of the artciles – all except those I wrote personally – are safe. So I’ll just have to rewrite my reviews (or send the discs to my staff to review). The bad news is that all of my formatting is gone. I’ll have to learn a newer version of the software on my newer computer and recreate the formatting to print the next issues, so I can’t provide a schedule of when that will happen. In order to get the issues out, I might use different software already installed on the new computer, so the “look” of Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter may change a little. If there are delays in getting the new software running, I’ll at least get an online edition out to bridge the gap.

Once I get settled in Monroe – my furniture won’t arrive until at least a week into September – I’ll start working hard on GWRN and may run issues at greater-than-normal frequency until we’ve caught up on our backlog of reviews.

I’d like to thank our subscribers and those of you who have submitted discs for review for your patience. Please don’t send me requests about the status of your reviews. I’ll be focusing on getting caught up and probably won’t be able to respond.

BULLETIN:

I have received a few phone calls and several e-mails so far, so I just wanted to send out a quick e-mail to update any of you who may be concerned.

Some of you know that Great White is one of my 2-3 favorite bands, and to those of you who have contacted me about it, I thank you for your concern, but I did not attend the Great White concert last night at The Station in West Warwick, Rhode Island where the tragic fire occurred.

Other than band members, who I have interviewed 2-3 times over the years, I am not aware of anyone else involved in the concert/fire who have any connection with me or with Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter (GWRN). (All I know about the fire is what I have seen on TV.)

I'm sure you join me in hoping that the death toll from this tragedy does not continue to rise, that those who are still missing are found, and that those who are in hospitals heal completely.

------

ALSO:

I know we haven't sent out a GWRN update in a while. Watch your e-mailbox for an update in the next couple of weeks. And please be sure to note our current mailing address. We moved in September 2002, but we are still getting mail at our old address. (We are checking the old address in Newport once every couple of months until the mail stops coming, so if you have sent something to the old address, don't worry -- we will get it. But please be sure to use the new address in Johnston from this point forward.) Our current, correct mailing address is:

Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter

P.M.B. 1066

1478 Atwood Ave.

Johnston, RI 02919

Information about how to get reviewed in GWRN is at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewinfo.html, and unsigned/indie bands or artists should include a Review Form with their disc/tape. The Review Form for unsigned/indie bands or artists can be found at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewform.html.

Also, about 6 weeks ago, we sent a new online edition to our website people. In addition to dozens of reviews, the edition includes interviews with All Else Failed, Diecast, JJ Paradise Player's Club, Khanate, Leechmilk, WASP, Scar Culture, Scissorfight, Mushroomhead, Bloodlet, and Disarray. When our web guys get this issue online, we will notify the mailing list.

Hi, everyone!

As promised, here's the e-mail announcing our new mailing address. It is:

Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter

P.M.B. 1066

1478 Atwood Ave.

Johnston, RI 02919

Starting today, you can begin using the new mailing address. Now, don't worry if you've recently sent something to the Newport address. Through the end of September, I'll be checking both with equal frequency. (After that, I'll still be able to check the old Newport address maybe once a month until the end of the year.)

Remember, for information about how to get reviewed, go to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewinfo.html. If you've already read that or if you don't like long-winded explanations, unsigned/indie bands can go directly to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewform.html for the review form that we'd like you to complete and send in with your disc for review. (Since signed bands are reviewed on the web site, there is no need for them to complete the review form.)

FYI -- I don't plan to send a new monthly update until October (I guess they're not exactly "monthly" update, eh?), but if we get our Online Edition online before then, I'll send an e-mail to announce that.

Hope you're all having a good September so far.

Cheers!

Geoff

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

A) Standard, Every-Month Section

If you're new to a yahoogroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn -- 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 pertinent Renegade website links in the links area. And I have placed a few upcoming dates of interest on the calendar. Your best sources of GWRN information, however, are at our official website (http://membrane.com/renegade) and at the GWRN information site I maintain (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade).

B) Repeated From Last Update – Please Read!

Disc Submission Forms: We’ve put a section on our website about how to get reviewed -- http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewinfo.html. When we update the official GWRN website (http://membrane.com/renegade) this summer, we’ll place this info on that website, too, and point you there. We’ve place a review submission form on the website (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/reviewform.html) that will allow us to get reviews into the right people’s hands more efficiently, so please complete this form when sending a disc for review. Obviously, signed bands get reviewed on the website, and this mailing list tells you when that’s been updated, so if you’re subscribed to this monthly mailing list, then you’ll know when to look for reviews, but for unsigned/indie acts, this form is particularly important and helpful.

C) New Section

GWRN Publishing Deadlines and the Upcoming Move to Providence: Some of you may have noticed an unusual amount of deadline difficulties in the past year. I explained it all pretty well in the last e-mail, which you'll find at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn/message/31. Also, after just over a year of spending 10 hours a week on the road to and from the “day job,” I’ll be cutting about 8 hours off of that commute in about a month. That’s good news for GWRN, since I’ll be able to devote more time to it again (like I always used to). As I mention later in this update, our mailing address will soon change to a Providence, RI address. We will send an e-mail notice when that occurs. We will also be keeping our Newport address open for a few months to catch any mail accidentally sent there after the move. Since I’ll still be living down here by the Newport address until the move, there will be about a month during which both addresses will get checked equally (and after that, I’ll keep the Newport address open a while longer and check it once or twice a month), so don’t let our impending move stop you from sending discs, subscriptions, and whatever else our way. To see our current, correct contact information, you can always go to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/monthly_contact_info.html, but you needn’t worry – you’ll get an e-mail announcing the new address, as well, as a member of our mailing list (which you can sign up for by sending a blank e-mail to gwrn-subscribe@yahoogroups.com).

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

And hey, for those of you who are really curious, go ahead and check out the really basic home page I've set up at http://www.geoffwilbur.com. In addition to a few personal items, I've added several GWRN items and may add a few more as time permits, though it will be limited mostly to things that need frequent maintenance, like back issue purchase forms and advertising deadlines... and links to the official GWRN home page, which is, has been, and (as far as I'm concerned) will always be http://membrane.com/renegade. (They're great people over there at membrane.com who gave us early Internet guidance and have helped us out of more than one jam over the years, and we're proud to be part of their online community.)

May/June 2002 Monthly Update (in other words, there wasn't a May update)

Hello, and welcome to the May/June 2002 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.

Please note that our print edition subscription special – especially for mailing list members – has been extended to July 15^th. (All orders must be postmarked by July 15^th.) So don’t be cheap – show your support by walking over to your checkbook and scribbling out a check for ten bucks. The offer is at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/suboffer_mailinglist.html.

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.

B) New Section

GWRN Publishing Deadlines: Some of you may have noticed an unusual amount of deadline difficulties in the past year. Yes, it’s a bit uncharacteristic of us, but things changed about a year ago to bring the problem about. And things will change again this September that should reverse our problems. You see, I typically devote 5-10 hours each week to publishing GWRN. Last summer, my day job moved, increasing my daily commute from about 5-10 minutes each day to about 2 hours (1 hour each way). It’s not too difficult to see that my time to publish GWRN effectively disappeared. I have been scraping together hours on the weekend to keep things together. But when I move closer to work again this September (when my current lease expires), I’ll regain most of my commute time, and schedules should again be adhered to. In the past, deadline delays have typically been caused by late-arriving articles and late-arriving ads, but this past year, they’ve been a result of my scheduling difficulties.

Which brings us to the current situation. From the beginning of March through late June, we’ve have international visitors almost constantly. (And during the couple of weeks’ break, the GWRN computer’s power supply decided to die, leaving it inaccessible.) Anyway, we’ve been good hosts, entertaining our guests on the weekend. So the Spring Country Music Industry Edition and May Industry Edition aren’t going to be published this year. (And we’ll do a combined Spring/Summer online edition.) Of course, subscriptions and multi-issue advertising agreements (both of them) will be extended by the appropriate number of issues. And this might actually be a good time to subscribe (http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/suboffer_mailinglist.html), since we’ll just run bonus, subscriber-only pages if we have more reviews than will fit into the normal-length editions.

At first, I felt bad about the delays. But hey, where else are you going to get such an established, broad-reaching industry readership like the one we’ve cultivated over the years. For the cost of sending us a disc to review, you’re getting an enormous return. So, I figure you can be patient. I might feel a little differently if many of you were taking advantage of our ridiculously low advertising rates (Industry Edition: http://www.geoffwilbur.com/ie_adrates.html; Country Music Industry Edition: http://www.geoffwilbur.com/cmie_adrates.html) or were supporting us by subscribing, but that isn’t happening, so I figure a delay here and there is nothing compared to the exposure we’re providing. That does bring up a point – I’d suggest setting aside a few dollars from each gig for advertising (with GWRN and with other publications that support indie music), and while $75 (rock) or $60 (country) is pretty cheap for the 200 (rock)/100 (country) industry execs who’ll see your name (it’s all about name recognition), a full year (4 issues) of advertising is available for as little as just $180 if you buy in advance. (Details are available on the advertising rate pages listed earlier in this paragraph.) All it takes is a little advanced planning. And if you think fans might like our publication, you can defray those costs further by taking part in the “Promotion Idea” listed at the beginning of this section. Just a thought.

Thanks for your patience. We continue to focus on what we do well, which is to get unsigned and indie bands’ CDs reviewed and into the consciousness of music business movers and shakers.

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

Computer Woes: Well, we’re back. Our GWRN computer was out of commission for a couple weeks. Nothing serious – just a power supply – but it’s an odd-shaped power supply, so it wasn’t as easy to replace as I thought it would be. Anyway, we’re back. The main ways this affects GWRN are delays: 1) This monthly update is late. 2) The Country Music Industry Edition is very late. Sorry, guys. 3) I’m going to be late getting started contact Industry Edition advertisers. So if you’re interested, please contact me directly. (Info is at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/ie_adrates.html.) When I get enough to cover expenses, I can focus on getting the issue out hopefully not too late. 4) To those people whose discs I liked enough to review myself – those CD reviews probably won’t be ready for the Spring Country Music Industry Edition or the May Industry Edition. 5) I didn’t send e-mail confirmations to as many people whose CDs arrived for review. Of course, I don’t always get time to do that anyway. 6) The Spring Online Edition isn’t laid out.

Promotion Idea: Would your fans be interested in reading Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter? We can put together a web page for you (that will look similar to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/renegade/suboffer_mailinglist.html but with your band’s name on it), and we’ll also send you a Word file with a one-page form you can print out. (If you reduce the form we send you to 50% at Kinko’s, you’ll be able to fit 4 on a page.) Then, you can direct your fans to the web page and hand out the forms at shows and other events. (Most effectively, you can collect cash from your fans at the show and send the forms and a check to me through the mail – you know how people can be interested at the moment, but by the next morning, they won’t fill out the form and send the check.) If you have been reviewed or interviewed in a previous issue and if we still have copies of that issue in our files here, we will offer that issue as your fans’ “bonus.” Otherwise, we’ll do something similar to the “mailing list” offer I referred you to as a sample.

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update. As always, keep in touch.

Hello, all!

It's been a while since the last online issue -- first the Spring issue came out in the Summer last year, then the Fall issue was cancelled because the deadlines fell too close to mid-September -- but we're online with a new mega-issue now, featuring interviews with Spineshank, Figure of Speech, Grade, Megadeth, Ice Age, Shadow Gallery, and Sloppy Meateaters, plus more reviews than I care to count right now. You can go to the issue directly at the Winter issue index -- http://membrane.com/renegade/winter02/ -- or you can just go to the Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter home page (http://membrane.com/renegade) and click on "Winter 2002."

Of course, we fund our operations from our print editions, so I'd like to ask you all to consider supporting our print editions. And to that end, for a limited time, I've put together a special. If you sign up for at least a year of one edition of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter (for just $10), I'll send you a free copy of the “early” back issue of your choice – choose from 1) the first Industry Edition (the 4-page August 1994 issue featuring an interview with Bleeding Hearts), 2) the second Country Music Industry Edition (the 8-page Summer 1997 issue featuring interviews with Ironhorse, Solid Ground, Karen Nash, and the Back Alley Boys), or 3) the very first Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter ever (the 6-page July 1993 Grand Rapids Edition, from when we published “street” editions, featuring interviews with Ken Mari of The Revolution [later to become Soul Shock Remedy] and Bakers Pink). The special order form is at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/suboffer_mailinglist.html. But to get this special deal, your order form must be postmarked by February 15th!

Anyway, thanks for your attention. We'll be back with our regular monthly update in a couple weeks or so. And don't forget -- we're always accepting material for review.

Cheers!

B) New Section

As you know, the Spring Online Edition went up around the beginning of summer, so we planned to have a Fall issue online in September. With a nod to the terrorist attacks on September 11th, I didn’t feel it was appropriate to bother my writers for their articles, and my mind was elsewhere, as well, so I didn’t focus on the Renegade for a month or two, so we didn’t publish a Fall Online Edition. (We also didn’t publish a Fall Country Music Industry Edition.) As a result, we have a huge issue set for the Winter Online Edition. I’m proofreading right now; then I’ll get them to our web people, and hopefully they’ll be up early this year.

Also, the Winter Country Music Industry Edition is awaiting one final outside contribution and should be going to the printer this weekend and into the mail the following weekend.

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

And hey, for those of you who are really curious, go ahead and check out the really basic home page I've set up at http://www.geoffwilbur.com. In addition to a few personal items, I've added several GWRN items and may add a few more as time permits, though it will be limited mostly to things that need frequent maintenance, like back issue purchase forms and advertising deadlines... and links to the official GWRN home page, which is, has been, and (as far as I'm concerned) will always be http://membrane.com/renegade.

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2001 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the October/November 2001 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.

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

SECTIONS:

*****1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE (PLEASE READ THIS SECTION THIS MONTH)*****

2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS

4) GWRN WRITER APPEARANCES

5) WEBSITE UPDATES

6) GWRN MP3 STATIONS

9) MISCELLANEOUS OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

* sections with new information since the last monthly update

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

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

a) Standard Every-Month Section

(see http://www.geoffwilbur.com/publishers_note.html)

b) New Section

A FEW QUICK POINTS:

1) No, there wasn’t an October monthly update. Like many Americans, I was a bit distracted for a few weeks.

2) I’m trying to streamline the monthly mailer. I’m putting many of the more repetitive sections online and online showing the links in the mailed issue to minimize unnecessary information in the mailed version. If you do, for some reason, miss the monthly mailer, you can find it online at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/monthly_update.html.

3) The Fall Country Music Industry Edition advertising deadlines fell in mid-September. There had been no response to my first e-mail call to advertisers, so the next step was to call regular advertisers by telephone. However, after the attacks against America, it felt as if the time was wrong to be calling to ask for music publication advertising dollars. In addition, the priorities of the members of the all-volunteer Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter staff, including its publisher, were elsewhere for at least a couple weeks. As a result, there will be no Fall issue of the Country Music Industry Edition. Our one pre-paid classified advertiser will have his ad extended by an additional issue, and our subscribers will have their expiration dates extended to reflect that there was no Fall issue. I hope you all understand the reasons for this – during difficult times, some things simply take a back seat. We will be back with a complete Winter 2001/02 Country Music Industry Edition. Advertising deadline is December 8 – please contact me if you’re interested in an ad and make things a little easier. Go to http://www.geoffwilbur.com/cmie_adrates.html for detailed Country Music Industry Edition advertising information. Thanks!

4) The many recent distractions also made my residential move a little more difficult and time consuming. (No, the contact info for Geoff Wilbur’s Renegade Newsletter has not changed. We still use the same mailbox store, and it was a local move, so the phone number didn’t change.) In fact, only in the last week have most of the boxes with the Renegade Newsletter items been unpacked. So… the advertising deadline for the November-January Industry Edition (covering all styles other than country) has been bumped back to November 16, with an expected mailing date of early December.

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

SEPTEMBER 2001 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the September 2001 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.

--------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION:

1) The Spring 2001 Online Edition is finally online at http://membrane.com/renegade/spring01

2) You can now order back issues of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter at http://www.geoffwilbur.com/backissues.htm

3) Quick question -- would it make it easier for you if we began accepting PayPal payments (which can be made from a credit card via PayPal) for subscriptions and advertising over the Internet? I'm looking into it and would like a little feedback. Thanks!

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

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

a) Standard Every-Month Section

If you're new to a yahoogroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn -- 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.

b) New Stuff

As some of you may know, our business address and phone number will remain the same, but I'll be moving next month, so (with the accompanying turmoil) the Fall Country Music Industry Edition can be expected to be a 2-3 late (hopefully no more). For one thing, packing means I haven't been in touch with our usual advertisers yet. Thanks for your patience. Tentatively, the new advertising deadline is September 29.

Also, the August-October Industry Edition is at the printer. You should find copies in your mailboxes in a couple weeks.

And, as mentioned above, the Spring Online Edition is finally online. We plan to get the Summer/Fall issue to our web guys shortly after the Fall Country Music Industry Edition is completed.

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

Send an e-mail to geoff@... 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.

To check out upcoming ad rates and deadlines, you can also go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn/files on the Yahoo! Groups website.

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

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), Mike Farley, Flint Michigan (Dennis Katsanis), Sin Embargo (Kyle Kipp), Fulbone (Ryan Langhurst), and Mingo (Domingo Guyton).

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

5) WEBSITE UPDATES

The March 2001 Street Edition has been placed online as Winter 2000/2001. (As a special bonus, this online issue also includes articles from the Spring 2001 Country Music Industry Edition.) 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/spring01/index.html.

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.

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

6) GWRN MP3 STATIONS

Hopefully, some of you checked out our MP3 stations. As you know (if you read past updates), we are now putting together a radio station for each specific industry edition, featuring one song for each band covered in each issue, including advertisers. (Of course, this is limited to bands with songs available via MP3.com.) When that coverage is a review or a small news item, that text is included, too. But don't take my word for it -- see for yourself:

GWRN Fall 2000 Country Music Industry Edition:
http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnfall00country

GWRN November 2000 Industry Edition: http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrn1100

http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrn0501

GWRN Summer 2001 Country Music Industry Edition:
http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnsummer01country

* GWRN August 2001 Industry Edition:
http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrn0801

GWRN Classical Station (favorites of the publisher): http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnclassical

GWRN Indie Rock Station (bands covered in past issues): http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnindierock

I hope you enjoy them -- as I noted before, I hope to make MP3 radio stations a regular feature for the industry editions, assuming MP3.com continues to allow its users to create stations.

JUNE 2001 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the June 2001 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.

SECTIONS:

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE (including review policies)*
2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS*
3) UPCOMING DEADLINES*
4) GWRN WRITER APPEARANCES
5) WEBSITE UPDATES
6) GWRN MP3 STATIONS* (one new station added)
7) GWRN CONTACT INFORMATION
8) GWRN WRITERS' E-MAIL ADDRESSES -- INVITE A WRITER TO A SHOW*
9) MISCELLANEOUS OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

* sections with new information since the last monthly update

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

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

Part A: Standard Every-Month Portion

If you're new to a yahoogroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn -- 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.

Part B: Special Text This Month -- How Reviews Happen/Time Frames

To those of you thinking about e-mailing me to ask "when will my review be running?", please don't. I have a day job and publish GWRN in the evenings and on weekends, and already spend far too much of the limited time I can devote to the publication answering such inquiries. I'd like to respond to everyone's e-mail, but if I responded to them all, I'd never have any time to actually publish the Renegade, so I often pass over the "when will the review run?" e-mails in favor of other, more substantive e-mails.

Here's the scoop: We always intend to review all CDs sent our way -- and do review almost all CDs with only a few exceptions (resulting from writer turnover, reviews deemed unfit for publication, and/or the occasional misplaced or lost-in-the-mail CD). Typically, reviews run 2-8 months after receipt of an album -- the range is a result of writing turnarounds and the fact that there's limited space (which can vary dramatically from issue to issue, depending on ad revenue) and, when a review gets bumped to the next issue, that "next" quarterly issue is 3 months away.

You might wonder, why can't I tell you just where your review is in the supply chain? For one thing, on our internal records the CDs are listed by writer, not by band, so I'd have to page through all my writers outstanding CDs to find yours. So why do I keep the records this way? Because it makes it easier for me to tell my writers what CD reviews I'm still expecting from them. It's more efficient for publishing the magazine, even if it makes it difficult-to-impossible to respond easily to inquiries from individual bands or publicists. Besides, even quick answers to several e-mails each week take time... time I need to spend publishing the magazine and talking to those of you who want to discuss advertising and promotional activities that'll keep us around to help get the word out within the music industry (or, if you're a signed band, to the public via the website) about your (and other bands') recordings for years to come.

So, while I'd love to answer everyone's e-mail about anything you want to know, I've tried it before, and the result is that it becomes impossible to find time to produce the magazine under those circumstances.

I've gotten a lot of inquiries about our publishing process, so I thought you might like that little bit of insight.

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

APRIL 2001 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the April 2001 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.

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

NOTE: The new issue of the GWRN Online Edition is now online at http://membrane.com/renegade/win2001

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

SECTIONS:

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE *
2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS *
3) UPCOMING DEADLINES *

5) WEBSITE UPDATES
6) GWRN MP3 STATIONS *

8) GWRN WRITERS' E-MAIL ADDRESSES -- INVITE A WRITER TO A SHOW *
9) MISCELLANEOUS OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST *

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

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

a) standard first portion of note

If you're new to a yahoogroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn -- 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.

b) new business portion of note

We're still running 2-3 weeks late with the printing schedule after the delays (resulting partially from my travels in February), but we're catching up, and the May issue should be on time. Expect the Spring Country Music Industry Edition to hit the mail in mid-April.

The March 2001 Street Edition -- the final Street Edition -- went into the mail this weekend. As noted last month, the Industry Edition and Country Music Industry Edition will continue to be printed as scheduled, and the signed bands we covered in the Street Edition will continue to be covered in the Online Edition. Again as noted last month, our web people have told us the Renegade web pages get 10,000 to 20,000 hits per day, so it'll still be a great place for our signed bands to get reviewed and interviewed -- almost all of the impact of the street edition was already from the online version anyway.

Finally, remember, you can still subscribe to the Industry Edition and Country Music Industry Edition at the old rates of $6/year for each edition. If you need a subscription form, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn and click on the March 5th message entitled "As promised in Saturday's Monthly Update. You MUST SUBSCRIBE BY MAY 1, 2001 to get this special rate!

Anyway, thanks again for reading your monthly update.

Cheers!

geoff@...

Hey there, all -- as promised in the monthly update, here's a subscription
form allowing GWRN mailing list subscribers to subscribe to the print
editions of the Renegade at their current rates through May 1st -- when the
subscription rate goes up to $10/yr. for one edition and $18/yr. for both
(with discounts for multiple-year purchases, though still not down to our
current $6/yr. levels).  As you know, I almost never send additional e-mails
beyond the monthly update (in fact, this is the first time), even though I
say when you sign up I might do it 5-10 times a year.  Anyway, for those of
you who have trouble with attachments, below is a really simple version of
the subscription form.  I'll also try to attach it as an html file, which I
believe yahoogroups will allow me to do.  The attachment is less than 10 kb,
so it shouldn't tie up anyone's dial-up Internet connection.  (I read the
web via a cable modem, but I still read my e-mail on my old computer via
dial-up, so I'm sensitive to that.)  Anyway, as always, thanks for reading,
and we'll be back in touch next month with our monthly update.

Cheers!

MARCH 2001 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the March 2001 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.

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

NOTE: The new issue of the GWRN Online Edition is now online at http://membrane.com/renegade/win2001

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

SECTIONS:

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE *
2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS *
3) UPCOMING DEADLINES *
4) GWRN WRITER APPEARANCES
5) WEBSITE UPDATES *
6) GWRN MP3 STATIONS *
7) GWRN CONTACT INFORMATION *
8) GWRN WRITERS' E-MAIL ADDRESSES -- INVITE A WRITER TO A SHOW *
9) MISCELLANEOUS OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST *

* sections with new information since the last monthly update

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

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

a) standard first portion of note

If you're new to a yahoogroups mailing list, try checking out the GWRN area at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gwrn -- 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.

b) new business portion of note

Please note that the Febraury-April Industry Edition is nearing completion and will be in the mail soon. (Since some items arrived late, I was unable to complete production prior to my trip to Bulgaria last month.)

Other changes are also in the works. First, we noticed that all our Street Edition subscribers were also subscribers to one or both of our Industry Editions. So we decided that, to expedite the conversion of the Street Edition to online format, we will discontinue the Street Edition and only place those articles directly online. Our Street Edition subscribers will receive one more Street Edition (March 2001), then the remaining issues on their subscription will be added to extend their Industry and Country Music Industry Edition subscriptions. Our web people told us the Renegade web pages get 10,000 to 20,000 hits per day, so it'll still be a great place for our signed bands to get reviewed and interviewed -- almost all of the impact of the street edition was already from the online edition. In any event, this change will allow us to get the website up quicker and focus more attention on the Industry Editions.

Also, our subscription rates will be increasing. The U.S. subscription rates are currently $6.00 per year per edition. Rates will be increasing to $10.00 for one edition for one year with discounts for purchasing multiple years and/or both editions. Those of you on this mailing list will be given an opportunity to subscribe at the current rates if you subscribe by May 1st -- following soon will be an e-mail containing a printable subscription form with your offer. (Current subscribers will receive an opportunity via regular mail, as well, to extend their subscriptions at the current rate.)

Thanks again for reading your monthly update. With the many changes and additions (like our MP3 stations) and other promotional efforts, we hope to continually make the Renegade more useful to our readers and successful for all of our supporters.

Cheers!

2) RECENT AND UPCOMING INTERVIEWS

Interviews with blue number nine, DePoet & the Monkey, and the Baghdaddios will be included in the February-April Industry Edition.

An interview with Hermann Lammers Meyer has been completed for the Spring Country Music Industry Edition.

An interview with Sid Bernstein and a Tesla concert review have been completed for the March Street Edition (and Spring Online Edition).

FEBRUARY 2001 MINI-MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to a quick Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter Update (since the last one was in late January and quite complete). We'll just touch on a couple new items and be on our way...

FYI: 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.

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

MP3 STATIONS

Hopefully, some of you checked out our MP3 stations mentioned in the last monthly update:

GWRN Classical Station (favorites of the publisher): http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnclassical

GWRN Indie Rock Station (bands covered in past issues): http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnindierock

Well... all that has led up to our radio stations for each specific industry edition, featuring one song for each band covered in each issue. (Of course, this is limited to bands with songs available via MP3.com.) When that coverage is a review or a small news item, that text is included, too. But don't take my word for it -- see for yourself:

GWRN November 2000 Industry Edition: http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrn1100

GWRN Winter 2000/01 Country Music Industry Edition:
http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnwinter01country

I hope you enjoy them -- as I noted, I hope to make MP3 radio stations a regular feature for the industry editions, assuming MP3.com continues to allow its users to create stations.

Also, thanks to those who've already checked out our stations, including those who've happened to notice our single-edition stations were online. Their highest charting positions so far have been:

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2001 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the January/February 2001 Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter Update. (We're killing 2 birds -- er, months -- with one stone here.) The purpose of this monthly e-mail is to keep you informed about the goings-on at Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter.

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

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.

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!

Cheers!

DECEMBER 2000 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the December 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.

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

Hello friends, readers, musicians, and fellow industry folks!

Not much is new here at Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, so rather than repeat most of the newsletter, as usual, I'll just point out what's new -- not much, but all interesting. (Besides, this update is pretty late this month -- I'll include all the sections in a full monthly update in early January.)

1) Anyway, the first new item is:

The Summer/Fall 2000 online edition is up! Go to...
http://membrane.com/renegade/fall00/index.html.

Or, as always, you can go to the GWRN homepage at http://membrane.com/renegade and click on the Summer/Fall 2000 link.

2) We've discovered MP3 Radio Stations. In the future, we'll put together stations for individual editions of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, allowing readers to sample songs from any of the bands reviewed who also have songs on the MP3 site. For now, we have two test station. One contains several of my wife's and my favorite classical MP3s. (Yes, though we don't review much classical music in the Renegade, I do enjoy it.) The other station contains MP3s of several bands/musicians we've reviewed in our Industry Editions over the years. And, as I said, this is just the beginning. Check out our MP3 radio stations at:

Geoff Wilbur's Classical Music Station:
http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnclassical

Geoff Wilbur's Indie Rock Station:
http://www.mp3.com/stations/gwrnindierock

3) I also continue to update the bookmarks I've published online via Blink. You can find links to websites about music and a variety of other subjects at:
http://www.blink.com/members/gwilbur

4) Our egroups site: Be sure to go to http://www.eGroups.com/group/gwrn/info.html sometime to check out more info about the Renegade. In the "Links" section you'll find a link to our subscription form, and in the "Files" section you'll find our advertising rates and deadlines. (The forms haven't been updated for 2001 yet, but the dates will be the same -- just change the year from 2000 to 2001.)

Thanks for your support -- we'll be back again in January with a full update, but I figure there's no need to repeat all that information every month. I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season, and I look forward to your continued support in 2001... which reminds me -- most of you aren't paid subscribers to the Renegade. If you can spare six bucks to subscribe to the edition of your choice (4 issues/year), please go to http://membrane.com/renegade/fall00/printsub.html and print out a subscription form. Hey -- subscribe your friends, too, and call it a Christmas gift. (There -- one last plug for the year 2000.)

Cheers!

AUGUST 2000 MONTHLY UPDATE

Hello, and welcome to the August 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.

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

SECTIONS:

* sections with new information since the last monthly update

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

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.)

Of note this time is that the update (and the August issue of the publication) are a bit late. Of course, since I've been out of town for my wedding and honeymoon, that should be explanation enough. As things got hectic, the Industry Edition was pushed back (call it a "wedding delay") about 3 weeks. Among other things, I was too busy with wedding plans to make advertising calls -- there's still some space available, and the new advertising deadline for the August Industry Edition is August 23rd. Subscribers, watch for the issue in your mailbox in early September. The November issue will be back on schedule, as usual. (One of the advantages of being a family of quarterlies is that a delay like this doesn't mess up future printing schedules.)

On a personal note... I want to invite everyone to use my bookmarks at http://www.blink.com/members/gwilbur -- there are travel bookmarks, some various web-related ones, shopping ones, and a bands and musicians folder, too. (If your band isn't in there, let me know, and I'll add your URL.) I haven't added music biz bookmarks yet, along with several other bookmark folders I'm cleaning up (and checking for bad links) before I make them public, but I'll add more as time permits, and I'll try to make sure all my loyal readers' links are included when the appropriate categories are added.

Hope everyone's having a great summer!

Cheers!

1) PUBLISHER'S NOTE

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!

Cheers!
