                    Shows of note (by venue) as of 2/6/97

 MISCELLANEOUS CORRECTIONS
 -------------------------
 Now, not only is Danzig on a new day, it's a new venue.  It's Feb 14 at the
 Vic, not the Riv on the 11th.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 Last week: "Sunshine" by Jonathan Edwards.  If there's ever been a cheesy
 70s tune that needs a punk rock cover (and you'd think they'd all have
 been done by now), this is it.
 
 There were nine correct entries, and a handful of others that were close,
 but stumbled on Mr. Edwards' name.  Random winner was Lisa Wodis, who also
 noted that it was the first 45 she ever bought for her Snow White record
 player.  Lisa, send me your address.
 
 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.
 
 
 HEY!  WHAT ABOUT LAST WEEK'S?
 -----------------------------
 Yeah, I accidentally cut off the winners of last week's Guess The
 Reference.  Best entry was Adam Peikin; random was Ann Hettinger.  Winners,
 send me your snailmail address.
