Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I HEARD YA MISSED US, WE'RE BACK! --------------------------------- Too bad I've already used that line from Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" in Guess The Reference. It would have been ideal for this week. For the week of the 19th, I was sick and way too tired to mess with the list. I also thought that there would be no Reader the next week. So, I sent out mail saying "No list this week, and probably not next week, either." This was a bummer in two ways: About 1/3rd of you never got the message, and there WAS a Reader the next week, but I didn't find that out 'til yesterday. Oh well. We're back to normal next week, meaning you should get your List Thursday night, instead of Friday night like this week. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- In case you forgot over Christmas, it works like this: The first few lines in the heading of the List are a reference to a song. Mail your guess of song title and the source to shows@tezcat.com. Put your guess in the Subject field. A random correct entry and the best entry of the week (if any) each win a fabulous Shows List Dollar. 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.
