What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This whole thing, this whole goddamn things sounds like a recipe for disaster
                            The Chicago Shows List 
                          Shows of note as of 9/14/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Fri:    Oblivion / Misery Index / et al in Valparaiso.  Anybody wanna
             road trip there with me?
     Sat:    Parasites / et al in Rockford.  I won't be there, but it'll be
             a great show.
     Thu:    Oblivion all-covers set at Fireside.  Yow!  I may wear the
             famous pink dress again.
 
 OOPS
     It had to happen some day.  I incorrectly listed the Alice Donut as
     being on the 11th, when it was really on the 3rd.  A list reader missed
     the show because of it.
 
     As much as I try to be accurate in the list, if it's an important show,
     double check my info.  And if I'm wrong, let me know ASAP.
 
 SHOWS LIST CLASSIFIED
     East coaster recently moved to the Schaumburg area (yes, the land of
     big hair), is looking for persons/people/groups interested in checking out
     indie-rock/punk/local bands (just about anything on this list) in
     Chicago.  Especially Merge/Matador(esque) types and definitely any
     Chapel Hill band that wanders up this way.  E-mail Mike at
     CMJ032@email.mot.com.

 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.
