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.
