Shows of note as of 03/02/95 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEDIA ALERT The Home Front column in the Friday section in the March 3 Chicago Tribune is going to have a story on the Shows List. They're going to list the subscription address, so I expect many new subscribers. CONTEST ALERT Currently, 843 people receive the Chicago Shows List over the Internet. I'm expecting a big influx after this article on Friday. So, the contest is: How many people will be on the subscriber list as of the time that I send out the March 16th list? Prizes: Three CDs from my collection, PLUS three CDs from Liz's collection! That's a total of... wait, let me check... SIX! The winner will be whoever comes closest to the actual number as of my sending out the list. In the case of a tie, I'll think of something. Only one guess per person, of course. Your entries must be in by March 16th at 6pm central time. LIZ IMPLORES Please vote often for "No change" in the M&M Color Election 1995. Save tan. Call 1-800-FUN-COLOR. This is a joint effort of Beer Frame and Wind-Up Toy magazines, and all people with any aesthetic pride whatsoever. Thank you. ACTUAL SHOW NOTES Lots of people are asking me "Is there a list for [city]?", so I moved it up even closer to the top in the FAQ. The answer is: "Every other shows list that I know of is listed in the section at the bottom of each Chicago Shows List. If it ain't there, I don't know about it." Yes, the Scott Adams at Harper is the one who writes Dilbert. It's not musical, but I figure enough people might be interested. Sebadoh WILL be at Lounge Ax on the 10th. They just can't advertise it.
