                           The Chicago Shows List
                      I'll be damned if he'll run mine

 MISCELLANEOUS CORRECTIONS
 -------------------------
 Danzig at the Riv is now Feb 14, not Feb 11.
 
 
 NEW WEB PAGES
 -------------
 I've been overhauling a bunch of stuff on my web pages recently, so for the
 fan-minded among you, stop by.  Specifically, I've expanded and cleaned up
 the Naked Raygun discography, add stuff to the Oblivion page, and... there
 was something else.  Oh yes, and you can see a picture of me with my finger
 in my nose.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 The real contest this week should have been "How many people would get the
 R.E.M. reference?"  I wouldn't have known it, but 
 
 Rules recap: The first few lines in the heading of the List are a
 reference to a song.  Mail your guess of song title and band 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.
