                        Over by the window, there's a
                             Chicago Shows List
                        Not my brand, you understand
                         Sometimes the girl forgets
                                      
                        Shows of note as of 10/24/96

 UPDATES/CORRECTIONS
 -------------------
 The Mighty Mighty Bosstones show on 11/7 is now at the Vic.
 
 
 GREENHOUSE: GODS OF HIP
 -----------------------
 The mighty Greenhouse will be opening for the Mighty Blue Kings at Double
 Door on Nov 1.  I can think of no bigger booty-moving this year.
 
 
 DESCENDENTS FOR THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS
 ----------------------------------
 OK, all you out-of-towners who want to see the Descendents, here's the poop
 from Dave Eaves, the promoter of the show:
 
     Out of towners can send me money orders only, no checks!
     P. O.  Box   14847
     Chicago IL 60614
     payable to:  David Eaves
 
     Tell them to enclose a phone # (pref. one with an answering machine)
     and I'll call them to tell them I rec'd the order and I will hold the
     tickets for them at the door.  I will not mail tickets to them.
 
 And if that ain't clear enough, mail to CallD4info@aol.com.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 Last week's:
     I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single CSL
 
 The correct answer is "Me & Bobby McGee", made famous by Janis Joplin.
 Lots of you pointed out that it was written by everyone's favorite Rhodes
 scholar, Kris Kristofferson.  14 people got it right, 2 got it wrong.
 
 Best entry is from Kimberly Sluis who didn't even bother trying
 to answer, but merely replied: "I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single
 slice of cheese".  Heck, it might not even have been an entry, but she
 wins anyway.  Random correct winner is Emily Bernstein.  Winners, send me
 your USmail addresses.
 
 This week's entrants: BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME, so I know what to call
 you if you win.  I had to pick a different random winner this week because
 he/she didn't put his/her name on his/her entry.
 
 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.
