     The Chicago Shows List:  At least we're polite... about some things
                     Shows of note as of 07/07/94
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 
 NOTES:
     You can now get the Shows List via World-wide Web!  The address for
     my home page is HTTP://www.mcs.net/~alester/home.html.  I have some 
     discographies and other stuff up there, too.  Eventually I'll have it 
     so you can call up all the shows for a given day.  I'll do that the 
     next day I have copious free time.
