JUSTICE FOR KURT NEWSLETTER - APRIL 8TH 2002
http://www.justiceforkurt.com
Hi everyone. First let me say thanks for joining the newsletter
group! Response to the new site has been amazing. People really seem
to like the approach and media files the most. I've also gotten some
nice words on the layout, which I've tried to keep simple, yet
effective. I really appreciate it all! I hope to keep this thing
going until this case gets reopened and solved once and for all.
Like I said when you signed up, you'll only get messages every now
and then when there's stuff to say, so here we go with the first
edition, or whatever you'd like to call it.
NEW STUFF ON THE SITE
I revised the Kurt & Courtney film review. More information is now
available and video clips from some of the interviews are now linked
to it. I also added a new video clip of Broomfield's interesting
phone calls with one of his finacial backers, that claimed Courtney
Love was trying to get them drop funding - even going as far as
getting the head of MTV Networks to put pressure on them after she
called and "raised holy hell". I think this clip will help people
that are new to the case understand just how far this woman has
gone, and how much power she really has with the mainstream media.

A new "Letters" section is now available. Not sure how I'll organize
it down the line, but I'll be putting up some interesting feedback I
get from visitors down the line. So far, there's only one letter
there from a woman named Margaret who wrote over the weekend. A very
good letter, with some good points about "true" Nirvana fans and
musicians in general.

I also whipped up an animated "Flash Intro" for the site, but
decided not to use it. I think people getting hit with the
information as soon as they enter the the site probably has the best
effect. Simple, and straight to the point. However, I put up the
intro anyway for anyone reading this newsletter that would like to
check it out. It's not linked on the site, so nobody can see it but
you :) Maybe I'll find a use for it someday.

KURT COBAIN TRIBUTE SCREEN SAVER
I created a Kurt Tribute screen saver for the Windows operating
system over the weekend. It's got lots of good images, transitions,
and "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam" playing in the background.
You can download it from the link below. Please give it a good
rating on the download sites if you like it.

More little things like that will be available down the line. While
it's a good quality screen saver, I'm also using it as a promotional
tool. Each one has the link to the site in it and a "Read Me" file
enclosed that briefly talks about the case. People who download it
can check the site out if they choose to. I think it's a good way to
get Nirvana/Kurt fans who download the screen saver but might not be
aware of the Tom Grant investigation to take a look. Hopefully it'll
work. Coming from a software development background, I think it
will. :)
PROMOTION PROMOTION PROMOTION
The site is slowing being added to all the major search engines.
It's already listed at MSN, Excite, Hotbot, iWon, and About.com. It
actually cost me 25 bucks to get into most of those. Well worth the
money though. Still waiting on Google and Yahoo to get around to
adding the site to their database. They're the biggest, but also the
slowest and it could take weeks, or even months to get in there.
So I can't say enough how much I appreciate all the people that have
put Justice For Kurt banners or links on their site! Each one helps!
Thanks to those that have also placed the URL of the site within
the "Comments" section of their their Nirvana MP3 files on the
various file sharing networks. What a great way to get the link out!
A few people have even mentioned the site while signing various
Nirvana related guestbooks. Awesome! Please keep it up. You all rule!
A friend of mine who runs a couple massive celebrity sites which
pull in a lot of traffic, has also given me some free advertising by
putting up some banners! The main site is called
Celebrity Desktop, and the ads can be seen on the Nirvana, Foo
Fighters, and Hole (haha) sections.

The screen saver I whipped up is also linked there as well. It's a
great site if you'd like to download cool celebrity wallpapers,
themes, buddy icons, and skins of various celebrities, and musicians
for your computer. While you're there, grab some more Nirvana stuff
that other people have made. It's huge, and I really appreciate that
exposure.
INSTANT WEBSITES
A new feature is coming which I'm calling (for lack of a better
term) "Instant Websites". Basically I'm making some mini sites with
case information, documents, audio and video clips available for
download soon. They're for anyone who wants to put up a site about
this, but doesn't have the time or the HTML skills to get started.
More information can be found on this section of the site:

I'm hoping to drown out some of the sites out there that have
incorrect information, or just slander Courtney Love. I don't think
those types of sites help new people take the case seriously enough
to look into it more. Most come off as finding almost any reason to
dislike the woman. Even though they're probably all true, stuff like
that can still backfire.
COMING SOON
There are a few more video and audio clips I'd like to digitize and
put up. Those should be up in the next few days. Mostly some stuff
from the Kurt & Courtney movie and another radio show or two.
Flyers in different languages for supporters in other countries
should start to become available by the end of the month if all goes
according to plan.
My To-Do list is HUGE, so I'll let you all know about other projects
and more stuff as it becomes available.
CONTACT INFO
Feel free to contact me about anything anytime through the site. I'm also on the forums, and occasionally post on the Kurt Cobain Was Murdered
Yahoo Group @ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kcobainwasmurdered/
