                          Shows of note as of 6/22/95

 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Next Saturday, July 1, there's a big ska show in lovely NW-suburban
     Cary.  Mike, the guy putting it on, is risking losing his shirt for the
     3rd time in an attempt to bring music to the benighted boonies.  The
     show starts at 4:00, and will probably be over by 7:00 or so, so you
     can still see the Indicators or Vic Vacume.
 
 UFO
     UFO are coming, with Schenker, Mogg and Way.  Too bad they're not
     playing the Amphitheater...
 
 THE ULTIMATE HAS-BEEN FEST
     I can't tell you how much this makes me laugh:  Foreigner, Alan
     Parsons, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Eric Burdon and Mickey Thomas's
     Starship at a 3-day fest at clothing-optional Turtle Lake Resort in
     Michigan.  "You will encounter nude sunbathing and skinnydippers while
     at the resort.  Join the fun!"  1-800-480-7004 for info.
 
 HORDE FESTIVAL
     Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am for the HORDE thing.  Yawn.
 
 WORST BAND NAME
     I finally saw Galaxy Of Mailbox Whores tonight (Hi, Dave!), and was
     impressed.  I always groaned when I saw them listed because their name
     sucks.  Luckily for them, there's a worse one in this week's list:
     Lowest Common Denominator.

 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.
