 CHANGES & CORRECTIONS
     Los Straitjackets at Empty Bottle 5/31 will be rescheduled.
 
 MY PO BOX WORKS
     It came to my attention that people were sending things to my PO Box
     and were coming back undeliverable, because they were addressed to
     "Shows List" or "Punk Shows", but I never told the Post Office to
     accept mail for those names.
 
     That's now fixed.  The PO Box now works, so mail any US Mail for me to
     PO Box 884 / Palatine, IL / 60078.
 
 THE RETURN OF GUESS THE REFERENCE
     A recap of how this works:  The top of the Shows List has a reference
     to a song.  Identify the song and the band/artist.  Win a Shows List
     Dollar.  Complete rules at the end of the List.
 
     Extra bonus points this week: The song referred to has a cool drum
     intro that is almost identical to another song by a different band in
     the same genre.  Name the song and the band.
 
     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.

 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/shows/
     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, (847) 934-6224
 
 There are many other shows lists available on the via email.  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.
 
 For WWW-based lists, see the Shows List page.

 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.
