You think I sell my body, I merely sell my Chicago Shows List Shows of note as of 11/14/96 All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester. Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAND ORDER LISTS ---------------- The band order list seems to be pretty popular. I've received over 100 requests from people to add it to their mailings. However, I've received so many responses, and so many people didn't send their request in the right format according to the instructions, that I'm going to have to push those changes off until next week. RANDOM STUFF ------------ In my frenzy to get the adorable band-order list out to you, I screwed up this week's list. Some of the "new this week" are actually "new this week" leftovers from last week. The John Hiatt / Steve Earle tour has been canceled, but XRT is still trying get them out here for a Christmas show. Check Lisa Kemper's Steve Earle page for more late breaking updates (http://www.mcs.net/~lisa/). GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- It's the return of Guess The Reference. For those of you coming in late: identify the song (usually) to which the heading for this week's list makes a reference. Mail me at shows@tezcat.com, and include the name of the song, and the band/artist who do it, and your name. The prize is a fabulous Shows List Dollar. There are two ways to win: You can win at random from all correct entries received, or if your entry is especially clever or interesting or whatever, you can win Best Entry, even if the answer is wrong. CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.
