CORRECTING THE CORRECTIONS My correction about this Friday/Saturday at Empty Bottle was wrong. The Empty Bottle ad last week was a misprint, and I changed the Shows List w/o verifying. Mea culpa. IN-STORES AU-GO-GO - Man Or Astroman at Reckless on Friday - Bruce Hornsby at Borders Books on Wednesday - Lori Carson, Bjork, X, Marillion and Freddy Jones at Tower. No, not all at once. See the Tower listing for details. R.E.M. TICKETS R.E.M. tickets go on sale Saturday at 9am. WEAKER YOUTH ENSEMBLE Weaker Youth Ensemble are playing the PIT in Rockford on Saturday. This is supposedly a one-time reunion show. The fabulous Greenhouse are also supposed to be on the bill. BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE I've had B.A.D. at Metro on 8/3 for the past week or two, but the print ads show no mention of them, and the recorded message doesn't either. Still, they don't have anything ELSE that night... FREEFEST SCHEDULE If any of you want the Freefest schedule for August 11-13, let me know. If enough people ask, I'll put it in next week's list. There are bands from 11am to 9pm, every 45 minutes, for 3 days. That's a lot of bands. SUBSCRIPTIONS & CORRESPONDENCE Mail to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found us.
