 SHOWS LIST REPORTERS
     Thanks to the squad of Shows List readers who regularly keep me updated
     on what's going on out of town: Seth Hindin (Champaign), Amy Althoff
     (Milwaukee), Rob Jacob (Madison).  I get many more, of course, but
     these three are the ones who send tons of stuff.

     If you are interested in playing all-ages, low-cost ($1-2) shows at the
     Illini Union at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, please

 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.
