                            The Chicago Shows List
                          Lawdy, mama, light my fuse
                         Shows of note as of 03/23/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 CORRECTIONS
     I screwed up date and venue on the Belly show (Riv 4/14), and the date
     of the Material Issue show (4/28).  And THEN, I screw up the King
     Crimson date in the notes, and don't even list it in the list.

 The Shows List is updated late every Thursday night.  You can get it over
 the Internet in two ways:
 
     World-Wide Web:     http://www.mcs.net/~alester/
     Mail subscription:  <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>  Ask to be added, and 
                         mention where you found out about the list.
 
 Please mail to shows@farpost.chi.il.us:
     -   New shows you'd like to see added
     -   Any corrections to anything in the list
     -   Subscription requests, or drop requests
     -   Information about other shows list across the country
     -   Anything other comments, etc
 
 You can also get it from Far Post BBS, (708) 934-6224
 
 There are many other shows lists available on the Internet.  As far as I
 know, unless the address is "listproc" or "listserv", the list is run by a
 human, not an automated list-management program.
