If you're leaving school for the summer, please let me know to drop you from the list. I'd much rather drop your name and add you in the fall than to deal with all the bounces because of closed or full mailboxes. I thank all of you so far who have done so, but that's silly because you're not reading this. ANDY RECOMMENDS 5/13 - Apocalypse Hoboken in-store at Over The Edge in Elgin 5/18 - The Muffs / Full / The Indicators at Lounge Ax 5/19 - Poster Children / The Smoothies at Metro TAR Tar will not be playing Fireside on Saturday. Mike Greenless had an appendectomy and can't play. The rest of the show will go on, but it's unclear whether Tar will be replaced, and if so by who. I've heard rumors of Pegboy (somewhat likely), Shellac (less likely) or nobody (prob'ly most likely). They'll be giving refunds on the tickets at the door in any case. I just got mail from John Mohr who confirms the cancellation, and says to "look for a 'Record Release/End of the Line' weekend around Thanksgiving." AGENT ORANGE Both Fireside and Empty Bottle say that Agent Orange will be at their fine venue on the 21st. Maybe Agent Orange will play both, since the venues are only about 5 minutes from each other. MILWAUKEE BASEMENT SHOWS There are some punk shows down at the end of the list that are in private basements in Milwaukee. I don't have any contact info yet. LOLLAPALOOZA Second stage lineup for the 7/15 Lollapalooza includes Yo La Tengo, The Coctails, Coolio, Brainiac, and The Geraldine Fibbers. CORRESPONDENCE & SUBSCRIPTIONS Mail anything Shows List-related to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. Additions, corrections, requests, anything. If you'd like to subscribe, just ask, and let me know where you saw the list. If you recommend the list to someone else, please have them tell me that they heard about it word-of-mouth.
