 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Fri:    Poster Children at Fireside.  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".
 
 CONTACT INFORMATION
     Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.  For subscriptions, tell me where you found
     out about us.
