Sunday, see the Parasites at Fireside. AGENT ORANGE The show at Fireside has been moved to Empty Bottle with a different lineup. DICK DALE This week's Cubby Bear ad reads "Dick Dale has been postponed due to an extended European tour. New date will be announced soon. Tickets for 3/11 & 5/27 will be honored." Oh well. MILWAUKEE SKA The big ska show at the Milwaukee VFW Hall has been cancelled. PEARL JAM Pearl Jam will be playing Soldier Field, probably July 10. The two shows at Summerfest are not confirmed, and will have to go through TicketMaster, not the new system that will be used for the Soldier Field show. INERTIA ENSEMBLE Chris Fuller of Dis- mails me the following info on Inertia Ensemble, who have two performances on Saturday at Shank Hall: The Inertia Ensemble is a Milwaukee theater group comprised of young bodies with theater degrees who have actively disregarded the formal theater community in order to bring decent, unpretentious theater productions to a twenties/thirties crowd in bars and small performance spaces around town. Theater for the people, I guess. This Saturday's performance will include a series of five one-acts. These will be: "Gates of Hell", "Eskimo", "Farewell to Santa Claus", "Little Red Riding Hamlet", "Skinhead Hamlet" I mention this to you guys for two reasons: I think these people are really doing something worthwhile, and two: I am vain. I got roped into playing Hamlet in "Skinhead Hamlet" SUBSCRIPTION INFO Mail a request to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. Please mention where you saw the list, just for my own curiosity.
