 UPDATES/CORRECTIONS
 -------------------
 The MK-Ultra show on 10/19 at Bowl Hi Lanes way out in Boonieland is now
 at Fireside.
 
 The Gov't Mule show 11/6 at Park West has been postponed.
 
 
 DESCENDENTS IN ELGIN
 --------------------
 I just got mail from Dave Eaves that starting Friday, Descendents tickets
 would be available at Earitable Records in Oak Park (708-445-9288).  
 
 I've also received requests from out-of-towners who were planning on
 making the trip here as to whether tickets were available from anywhere
 else.  I told them to mail Dave directly at CallD4info@aol.com, and
 apparently Dave has taken care of them.  That's all I know.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 Last week's:
     Well, I lost my job down at the factory /
     Lost my Chicago Shows List in the lottery
 
 The correct answer is "Good Work" by the BoDeans.  Of the only 3 correct
 answers, Gregory Ott is the random winner.  Send me yr address.
 
 Send your entries for this week to shows@tezcat.com.  Be sure to include
 your name in the entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name
 and song title.
