                           The Chicago Shows List
                 It's got one friend / That's the undertaker
                                      
                         Shows of note as of 8/1/96

 UPDATES/CORRECTIONS
 -------------------
 The Wallflowers will not be at Lounge Ax on Aug 27.
 
 Oleta Adams is now 8/14, not 8/7, still at Park West.
 
 
 NORTH HALSTED MARKET DAYS
 -------------------------
 After all the typin' I did, SOMEBODY from the Shows List better go see
 somebody on Halsted next weekend.
 
 
 PUNK ROCK B-B-Q
 ---------------
 I'll reproduce what I can from the flyer for the Punk Rock B-B-Q.  I hope
 it's in time, 'cause I just got the flyer tonight.
     Hosted by: bupos
     Saturday, Aug 3rd, 1:00pm to dark
     Schiller Woods at site #8
     Everyone is invited (no hippies)
     B.Y.O.F. & B.Y.O.B.
     Grills will be supplied
 
 The map on the back of the flyer shows basically this:
     Go west on Irving Park from Cumberland.
     Go to the 3rd forest preserve entrance on the left/north.
     At the first road split in the preserve, bear left. ("Frog right!")
     Keeping going, keeping to the right at the next split.  Site #8 is the
         last one on the right, just before you get to Montrose.
 
 I hope this helps the (at least) two of you who mailed me weeks ago asking
 about it.
 
 RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
 ------------------------
 Tickets for both RATM shows go on sale Saturday at 10am.
