 PEARL JAM TICKETS
     If you didn't get the mailing about how to get Pearl Jam tickets for
     July 10, mail me ASAP.  They go on sale Saturday.  I don't know
     anything about any other dates.  Sorry.
 
 THE PIT GETS PRESS
     The PIT in Rockford was mentioned in the latest RAM, a Rockford-area
     rag that makes the Illinois Entertainer look high-class.  "... Epitaph
     recording artists Blue Means and four other ensembles played a grand
     opening last month."  Apocalypse Hoboken and Oblivion labeled
     "ensembles"?  I guess if you have to...
 
 AGENT ORANGE
     Agent Orange will be at Fireside, not Empty Bottle, so keep yr fake IDs
     at home, kids.
 
 THE FIGHTERS' LAST SHOW
     Monday, May 29th is the last Fighters show, on their 2nd anniversary.
     Opening the show will be members of the Bollweevils as Rat Patrol.  The
     R on the flyer is a la Naked Raygun, and the set is all covers, so I
     imagine it'll be all Raygun covers.  Worse things could happen.
 
 THE QUEERS AT EMPTY BOTTLE
     Is it The Queers?  Is it Queer?  Last week the ad said The Queers.
     This week it says Queer.  Who can tell?
 
 DILLO DAY AT NORTHWESTERN
     The following bands are playing Dillo Day, which is next Friday and
     Saturday: Uptighty / Boogie Shoes / Maceo Parker / The Toasters / From
     Good Homes / Shannon Worrell / Gus / The Suede Chain / Vertical Horizon
     / The Verve Pipe
 
     If you want more info, let me know.  Otherwise, I'm not gonna bust my
     ass to find more specifics.

 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.
