"Publisher's Note"

Welcome to the Fall/Winter 1999/2000 issue of the Online Edition of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter. This edition is composed of the September 1999 Lansing Edition and the December 1999 Street Edition, which is what the Lansing Edition has been renamed.

The Street Edition is distributed via record stores, music stores, and clubs in several cities around the United States. The March issue is scheduled to hit the streets the week of March 5th. If enough advertising is secured, it will have full circulation -- 500 copies in music stores, record stores, and clubs. So give us a call (401-849-3972), and sign up to reach all those music fans with a reasonably priced advertisement. With even a little advertising, we'll put a 4-page edition on the streets. As a result, we would like to reiterate a promise that, starting now, subscribers to any of the three editions of Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter will always get at least 8 pages, even when the complimentary edition runs smaller. And while we're discussing subscriptions, we'd like to remind you again that CD Baby has established a site where Renegade readers can subscribe to the Renegade online via credit card. If you prefer that to using the subscription form on page 8, go to http://www.cdbaby.com/order/renegade.htm.

About me: Since 1989, my articles have been published in several local, regional, and national publications. During that time, I have seen many outstanding bands go unnoticed. It is my goal to introduce as many of these great bands as possible to interested fans and music industry insiders. Therefore, with your support, I bring the best of the music industry to music fans, while introducing the national music industry to the best unsigned acts, especially via the Industry Edition. If you like what you read, see the printable subscription form for our reasonable subscription rates.

Also, if you want to stay up-to-date on the latest news about Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, including a reminder when each new issue is placed online, sign up for the Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter announcement mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to gwrn-subscribe@egroups.com.  You'll get a monthly update with the latest information about Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter.  It will include upcoming events, writer and publisher public appearances, deadlines, and other news about Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter.  It will also let you know when the website is updated with new quarterly editions.  One update is scheduled each month with, at most, 5-10 additional news flashes per year possible if and when last minute events occur.  In other words, it will be infrequent enough that it won't clog up your e-mailbox.  If you ever want to get off the monthly announcement list, you'll be able to do it easily by sending an e-mail to gwrn-unsubscribe@egroups.com.

Thanks for reading!

Cheers!
