What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           The Chicago Shows List
                    We like the punk and the metal bands
                                      
                         Shows of note as of 8/8/96
                   All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester.

 UPDATES/CORRECTIONS
 -------------------
 The Orb have canceled their show on 8/11, but Alex Paterson from The Orb
 will spin for an hour or so before the show.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 Even when I'm not having a contest I get Guess The Reference entries, so I
 figure I better bring it back.
 
 You all know the rules: Mail your guess for song & artist to
 <shows@tezcat.com>.  Put "GUESS" in the subject line.  Two prizes of a
 Shows List Dollar will be awarded: one for best entry, and one randomly
 picked from all correct entries.

 about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.
