We're back! Shows of note as of 5/9/96 All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester. Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
