For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us. NEW SUBSCRIBERS APLENTY This week I thought "Geez, there's a lot of new subscribers." Turns out there are *91* new readers this week. I usually get about 10. CHAMPAIGN-URBANA READERS I'm amazed at the flood of U of I readers who are signing up lately. There are now 116 uiuc.edu readers. In case you don't know about it, Seth Hindin runs the Champaign-Urbana shows list. Mail him at shows@uiuc.edu if you're interested. MADISON, WI: DOES ANYONE CARE? Every week I go through the Rob Jacob's fabulous Madison Shows List and pick stuff out of it for inclusion here. Does anyone use it? Let me know. If I don't hear from you, I'll just drop Madison stuff. SMASHING PUMPKINS IN DEKALB The following is from Seth Hindin's Champaign shows list. It's probably too late for y'all, but who knows? URGENT: SMASHING PUMPKINS AT NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERISTY NEXT FRIDAY! Tickets go on sale at 6PM *TONIGHT* (10/12) for SMASHING PUMPKINS at NIU. It's going to be in one week at a small room, so despite a two ticket per person limit this is expected to sell out tonight. If you have a friend at NIU call them right away and have them get you tickets -- they're only available at the NIU Fieldhouse, not through Ticketmaster or anywhere else. Thanks a lot to readers for tipping me off about this! I received preliminary info about this a day or two ago from a reader who heard an interview with Billy Corgan and James Iha on Q101 in which they stated that the Pumpkins would be playing a few shows soon in DeKalb and Peoria as practice for their upcoming tour. Since this information has proven correct so far *Peoria area readers please be on the lookout*! Let me know ASAP if you hear any more about surprise college appearances by Smashing Pumpkins -- I will make a special mailing if I hear anything about this before next Thursday. For the record, StarCourse and Assembly Hall have denied there will be a show here at U of I, but who knows. SMASHING PUMPKINS IN PEORIA And I just now received from Seth... SMASHING PUMPKINS SPECIAL UPDATE I just received more information on SMASHING PUMPKINS in Peoria! The show will be at The Madison Theatre on this coming Thursday, October 19th. Tickets are $12, but I do not know if they are available through Ticketmaster or must be purchased at the Theatre or somewhere special. For more information call the Madison Theatre at (309) 674-7529. Good luck!
