What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            The Chicago Shows List
                    Now with easier-to-remember addresses!
                         Shows of note as of 12/29/94
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 NEW ADDRESS INFO
     With the new way we're doing the mailings, it's become easier for Andy
     to do the list maintenance than it is for Liz.  So, effective
     immediately, Andy will be taking care of everything related to the
     Shows List.  Adds to the list, subscriptions, you name it, he does.
 
     The address to mail to is: <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>
 
     Please put something in the subject to give me a clue as to what it's
     about, so I know what to read right away.
