Deep Dish Delicacies Vol. 43

IMPORTANT MSG FOR APPLICANTS
So I have started to invite people to the main site and I still have a heap to read and access. However, I've noticed a surprising number of applicants did not leave an email address ... commenting from your blogger/gmail account does not magically reveal your email address to me, and I am certainly not going to look for it. Be aware ... no gmail adreess = no invite. Additionally to anyone who received an invite but can't access, you must be logged in to the gmail you provide, to access the site.

Howdy! How'do?




Welcome one and all to my new site ... the original site is now a private affair, accessible by invite only. More about that later though. This new 'public' site will be focused purely on compilation anthologies. Much like the Pages feature on the old site, I have created quick-access archives for each featured series in the back pages, I've posted the more recent volumes in traditional fashion and have included brand new installments to both the Metamorphic Malfunktions and Darling Dear anthologies. More of each anthology is on the way, plus several new projects are in the works. 

Currently all links are hosted by Pixeldrain, though I do plan to replace and/or pair with Zippyshare links. The layout is slimmer and will likely stay that way ... scroll down, snoop around and check it out!

APPLY FOR FULL ACCESS TO GROOVY GUMBO HERE



The original Groovy Gumbo site has gone private folks! 

I will no longer be making artists' discographies, retrospectives or REDUX'd collections available to the public. Everyone is welcome here at "Gusto's Groovy Gumbo PRESENTS", where I will continue to provide access to previously posted compilations and feature further installments publicly. 

Moving forward, very few of you will be granted full access to the original site. For Full Access ....


                    READ CAREFULLY AND COMMENT BELOW

If you wish to be part of our 'Private Sector' with access to the full artist features, REDUX'd efforts, the Sizzlin' Slabs and Goodie Grab Bags anthologies, extensive archives, etc. there are several requirements.

BLOGGER requires that you provide a gmail account. ***
I however, require something more serious ... I require trust and assurance!

You can earn this trust by telling me a little bit about yourself .... 
who are you? what do you do? why do you feel you should be a part of this community?
You can provide some assurance with a pledge ....
promise to keep contents private and be willing to contribute material and/or time to the site. 

I'm not looking for deeply personal details, credit card numbers or the name of your first pet. I'm not looking for adoration either, just some honesty and genuine interest. A good reference can go a long way as well, obviously. Regardless of what you share, it will remain between us and not be published.

There are nearly 90 vacancies but I am in no rush to open the gates. Be thorough with your request and patient awaiting response, I will be considering each applicant carefully and in my own time. Finally, if Zippyshare is a problem for you, please don't apply. Hopefully, I will see you on the other side.
