 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Fri: Agent Orange at Fireside
     Sat: Fred Schneider at Metro, Poster Children at Empty Bottle
 
 I LOST SOME MAIL
     Due to a horrid experience involving POPmail, I lost a day's worth of
     mail on Wednesday.  I know there were some subscription requests in
     there, but I don't know what.  If you have friends who signed up for
     the List this week, but they didn't get it today, then they must have
     been one of the unlucky ones.  Have them email me again.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
     Last week's answer: "Cancer" by Poster Children.  Five people got it.
     
     Best entry: Jim Doppke
         Ah, suddenly it's 1991 again, and I'm outside the Metro with my
         friend Jeff, who's getting a promo for our college radio station
         from Rose Marshack.  He winds up gloating all the way back to South
         Bend about Rose having touched his chest; he had been wearing a
         Bitch Magnet t-shirt which she admired.  Many a cry of "shut UP
         Jeff" was heard, but none heeded.
 
     Random winner: Greg Dunlap
 
     Winners, send me your US Mail address.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK
     A recap of how this works:  The top of the Shows List has a reference
     to a song lyric (although it won't always be).  Identify the song and
     the band/artist.  Win a Shows List Dollar.  Complete rules at the end
     of the List.
 
     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.
     Also, make sure your name is somewhere in the entry.
 
 CONTACT INFORMATION
     Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.  For subscriptions, tell me where you found
     out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.

 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.
