 Dude!
 -----
 There are exactly 2112 subscribers this week!  It won't be long now 'til we
 hit 5150, although 90125 may be a bit far off.
 
 
 Photo Exhibition
 ----------------
 Since this doesn't fit anywhere else:
     "Nirvana + Pearl Jam through the lens": Photographs by Charles Peterson
      Febuary 21 thru March 30, artist's reception Friday  Feb. 21, 7-11pm
 
 Guess The Reference
 -------------------
 Last week's "I've been through diamonds, I've been through minks" was a
 gratuitous Valentine's Day reference to "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils
 Band.  There 14 right answers, and 2 guesses of "Material Girl" by Madonna.
 No best entry, but the random winner 14 is Darin Janecek.
 
 Darin, send me your US Mail addresses.  Past winners: I'll try to mail
 out your prizes this weekend.  No, really.
 
 Rules: 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.
