                         Shows of note as of 09/21/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Fri: Uzeda / Dis- at Empty Bottle
     Wed: Dick Dale at Harper College
 
 GOD-CO
     The God Is My Co-Pilot / Dis- show at Metro is 10/14, not 10/13.
 
 THE UNDERGROUND IN KENOSHA
     I guess this place called The Underground in Kenosha is doing punk
     shows, but I have no contact info for anyone there.  If anyone can
     forward info to me, I'd appreciate it.
 
 THE QUEERS
     I've been told that the Queers show in Elgin is moved to Evanston, but
     I don't know where.  I'd assume Hemensway, but I'm leaving it listed as
     being in Elgin until I hear more.

 the Internet in two ways:

 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.
