 NOTES
     This week, the Shows List readers have come through for us all with
     mucho information, re: Lollapolooza, Crash Worship, G Love & Special
     Sauce, Sonic Youth and Pavement.

     Tar are playing what will probably be one of their last shows at
     Fireside on May 13.  They're selling advance tickets for this one at
     Ajax Records, Reckless Records and Fireside.
 
 LOLLAPALOOZA
     The Lollapalooza lineup is : Sonic Youth, Hole, Cypress Hill, Pavement,
     Sinead O'connor, Beck, The Jesus Lizard, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
     No info on dates here yet.  All of this direct from the Lollapalooza
     WWW page at http://lollapalooza.com.
 
 CRASH WORSHIP
     Matthew Gambino lets us know that Crash Worship are playing at Laflan
     Warehouse.  I have no clue where this is.  Any information, like an
     address, will be appreciated.
 
 SMOOTHIES/FOO
     Joe Bertoletti saves me a trip to Off The Alley this weekend by letting
     me know that the Smoothies / Foo isn't happening, which is too bad.  I
     saw Foo for the first time last weekend, and they were great.  They're
     replaced by A.C. and Eye Gouger.  Yeesh.

 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.
