What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            The Chicago Shows List
                       Livin' right overneath your nose
                         Shows of note as of 05/11/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 LEAVING SCHOOL?
     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.

 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.
