What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            The Chicago Shows List
                Twist 'em, turn 'em, get 'em while they're hot
                         Shows of note as of 04/13/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 MORE MORPHINE
     Two more Morphine shows go on sale on Friday.  So far I've heard from
     three separate Shows List readers who scored tickets to the May 25th
     show because they read about it here.  This is the very thing that
     makes me say "Please let me know about anything else that can help out
     your fellow List readers."
 
 LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION?
     Lately, I've been getting a lot of requests for things that didn't
     appear in the current list.  "When do tickets go on sale for that
     show?" "Isn't so-and-so playing on that bill, too?"  "What time does it
     start?"
 
     The following are things that are typically listed for any given show
     in the list:  Date, time, cost, ages admitted, and the bands playing.
     Also, if it's a new show, and I know when tickets go on sale, I'll put
     that in there, too.  
     
     If one of those things doesn't appear, then I don't know it.  It's best
     to call the venue or TicketMaster, as appropriate, and find out.  And
     when you do find out, please let me know so I can update the list.
 
 SUBSCRIPTION INFO
     Mail a request to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>.  Please mention where you
     saw the list, just for my own curiosity.
