                            The Chicago Shows List
                     I'm sorry that it RAINED... all night
                         Shows of note as of 05/04/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     This weekend:  The Goblins at Fireside on Friday will be completely
     nuts.  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.

 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.
