 NOTES
     The Dick Dale show at Cubby Bear is postponed until May 27.
 
     The big ska show at the Elmhurst VFW Hall is actually March 26th.
 
     Bettie Serveert at Metro has been cancelled.
 
     All you people who keep asking "When are Veruca Salt playing?" can
     check out Mabel's on April 7th.
 
     Move into Lounge Ax in early April:  Guided By Voices, Seam and Gastr
     del Sol all have shows on 4 consecutive days.
 
     My schedule for Saturday:
         Orphan Punx taping Rock My Ass! @ 11:30am
         Dis- / Panel Donor in-store at Record Swap @ 3:30
         Oblivion et al at Fireside @ 7:00
         Smoothies at Metro @ midnight
     I'm glad it all fell together as well as it did.
