Shows of note as of 01/26/95 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES I'm trying to branch things out a bit here on the Shows List, so I'm going to pick a venue or two each week and list every show available for that venue. This week, it's the Lunar Cabaret. Send me requests for your favorite places and I'll see what I can do in future weeks. All the shows at Third Floor in Elgin will now be at Over The Edge.
