                    They like brains but we like blondes

 CH-CH-CHANGES
     The Shows List looks a bit different this week.  It's leading up to
     other changes, including having it sorted by date or band name, which I
     should have available by next week.
 
     I'm not immune to your consultations; tell me what you think.
 
 DO YOU CARE WHERE BANDS ARE FROM?
     Brian Fireside claims that for out of town punk bands, I should put
     their state/city of origin in the list, because people are interested
     as to where bands are from.  I figure that people don't care.
 
     If you go to punk shows with any regularity, please let me know your
     opinion on this.  If you readers do care, then I'll put it in.
 
 EFFIGIES AT FIRESIDE
     The Effigies will not be at Fireside in late December.  If anything new
     comes up, I'll be sure to tell you all.
 
 CONTACT INFORMATION
     Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.  For subscriptions, tell me where you found
     out about us.
