Duh! Sat: The Presidents Of The United States at Lounge Ax. I'm not sure I recommend this, because I like the album, but this is a Q101-sponsored show, and so who knows what sorts of alternashlubs are going to show up? WHAT NOT TO SEND ME I've received occurrences of both the Good Times Virus warning, and the "get laid" chain letter in the past week. I want neither. If it's a stupid, mass-mailed letter that you received in your mailbox, and you just HAVE to send it to someone, choose someone else. QUESTION EVERYTHING YOU'RE TOLD If something is here in the list, and it's important to you, verify it. This past week, someone missed out on King Crimson tickets because either the Shows List or the print ad was wrong as to when tickets went on sale; in either case, if it's something like that where you'll lose out, or you're going to take a trip to a show, Phone First! Also, if you do find a mistake, please let me know ASAP so I can correct it. PARADE OF HAS-BEENS This week finds ex-luminaries like Saigon Kick, Slaughter, Quiet Riot and Pat Travers, as well as Chicago has-been mainstays like Survivor and Enuff Z'nuff. You'd think that it was Naperville Ribfest season. PARADE OF COMPUTER DORK BAND NAMES, Part 42 You've got your Fortran V, you've got your Dots Will Echo, but now you also have "*.*", or as the ad for Brixies in Brookfield says, "star period star".

Phone First. The Shows List is updated late every Thursday night. You can get it over the Internet in two ways: World-Wide Web: http://www.tezcat.com/~andy/ Mail subscription: <shows@tezcat.com> Ask to be added, and mention where you found out about the list. Please mail to shows@tezcat.com: - New shows you'd like to see added - Any corrections to anything in the list - Subscription requests, or drop requests - Information about other shows list across the country - Anything other comments, etc You can also get it from Far Post BBS, (708) 934-6224 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.
