I'm also thinking something like this, and am wondering if we could at least offer it to people like Tom of C-side who might staple it in with his price list, and the other zines who could extract what they liked? The point is that if we're going to feel miffed when clubs like AATHP beat us to the punch on stuff, then we ought to try to share our resources with the 95% of US/UK/&c katefans who have no access. (Side issue: is it possible to get the digest thru Compuserve, Prodigy, etc? How? Can we make an effort to get the word out in all the zines how people can do this?) Would anyone volunteer to be an 'outreach information officer'? I think we do need a designated interface to CBS, and Ed is fine by me. I'd like to think we could get some promo stuff for the various local Katemas parties, first-notification on tour/album/etc news, and RESERVED SEATING AT CONCERTS, pleeeeeeeease! But we hardly deserve this so long as we're so inherently undemocratic, imho. Couldn't somebody do a little semi-non-profit side-business selling xeroxes of lyrics, etc?
