                            The Chicago Shows List
                     All the sugar and twice the caffeine
                          Shows of note as of 8/24/95

 THE SHOWS LIST IN THE TRIB AGAIN
     This Sunday's Arts section of the Tribune will have an article on music
     on the Internet.  The Chicago Shows List will be mentioned, and even
     with a picture of me.  "Gonna buy 5 copies for my mother..."
 
 FIRESIDE CHANGES APLENTY
     About half of the September Fireside shows are now different.  Double
     check those that you're interested, and look at the rest for new stuff
     (like Gaunt on September 1).  Also, the Alice Donut show at Fireside is
     now at Metro.
 
 THE WARPED TOUR
     That big skaterfest in the Horizon parking lot now features locals
     Alligator Gun and Blue Meanies.
 
 DICK DALE
     This week's Cubby Bear ad lists Dick Dale on Sept 30, with this
     assurance:  "Dick says 'This date will not change!!'"  I hope I can
     even find my ticket from way back in March.
 
 DORK BAND ALERT
     Add to the list of stupid computer-related band names Hunt The Wumpus.
     Previous winners include Dots Will Echo and Fortran V.

 The Shows List is updated late every Thursday night.  You can get it over
 the Internet in two ways:

                         mention where you found out about the list.
 
 Please mail to shows@farpost.chi.il.us:
     -   New shows you'd like to see added

 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.
