If you're involved in the game and have something to contribute to this section, please let me
know. What's here is just designed to get it started. If you've been here for awhile, what you
have to say is valuable to people who haven't. Just mail it to reaching_mbp@yahoo.com
and we'll stick it up here, with full credit to you, of course. If you have any suggestions for something you would like to see here, also email us
and we'll see what we can do.
I am especially interested in people contributing to the "regional guides." If you're willing to talk
about what it's like to be where you live, particularly if it's a city often traveled to by
bands or celebrities, please consider writing one up so we can put it here. Your name doesn't have
to be on it if you don't want it to be. If there's one already here, write it up anyway. You can
never have too much information.
