 FREE RADIO-SPONSORED SHOWS
     The Stabbing Westward show at Double Door on 4/18 is free, but tickets
     are only available through Rock 103.5.
 
     Both Rock 103.5 and Q101 are sponsoring some upcoming Stone Temple
     Pilots show, and I know none of the details about it, and you'd have to
     listen to the station to get tickets anyway, so I'm not going to put it
     in the List.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
     Who'd have thought that Meat Loaf would bring out the most female
     responses yet to Guess The Reference?  Of the nine entries that
     correctly identified the lines as being from "Two Out Of Three Ain't
     Bad", four of them were from women.
 
     Best Entry: Jason Mittell
         You know Andy, this one was really cruel.  Isn't it part of the new
         Internet Decency Law that you have to clearly label any email
         transmissions that contain references to Meat Loaf?
 
     Random winner: Brenda Jackson
 
     Winners, send me your US Mail address.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK
     There's a new rule this week: Your entry must have your name in it
     somewhere.  Most of you AOLers, for instance, don't have your names in
     the header to your mail.  I don't give out email addresses in the List,
     so if you win, I must know your name.  If your email header has your
     name in it, then don't worry about it.
 
     Mail your entries in to shows@tezcat.com.  Please put "Guess" and your
     guess in the subject.  Remember that band name is part of the answer.

 RULES FOR GUESS THE REFERENCE:
 
 At the top of the Chicago Shows List each week, a lyrical/literary
 reference appears.  Your job is to figure out what it is, and make an entry.
 
 *   Entries must be mailed to <shows@tezcat.com>, and should contain the
     word "GUESS" at the beginning of the subject line.  Your guess must
     include both title of the song, as well as artist/band.  If it's a
     literary reference, it should contain the title of the work, as well as
     the author's name.
 
 *   There are two ways you can win: Best Entry and Random Correctness.
     *   Best Entry: The best entry to be submitted will win.  It could be
         the funniest, or the most knowledgeable, or whatever.  It's up to
         you.  My decision will be entirely subjective.  Your entry must
         still contain a guess, and I'll weight heavily in favor of those
         who get it right.
 
         If you win Best Entry, I'll reproduce your entry in next week's
         list, so don't put anything in there you don't want published.
         ("This is one of my favorite songs!  I last heard it while cheating
         on my wife...")
 
     *   Random Correctness: I will randomly select an entry from all those
         with correct answers.
 
 *   Only one entry may be made per week.  Deadline for entry is whenever I
     mail out the next week's list.
 
 *   It is possible that no prize will be awarded for a category.  If there
     are no correct answers, then the Random Correctness category will have
     no winner.  If I don't think any entries should win Best Entry, then
     they won't.
 
 *   The prize will always be a genuine Shows List Dollar, mailed by US
     Mail.  It is the winner's responsibility to check the next week's list
     and claim the prize.  If you don't claim it, I don't mail it.
