 What an eventful week it's been...
 ----------------------------------
 I went on a road-trip to Memphis, including Graceland and Sun Studio.  It
 turned into a 9-state tour of the south.  Details, including travelogue
 and photos galore, will be up on my web site in the next few days.
 
 Unfortunately, Wednesday night my Tezcat had a hardware failure that ate
 the mail that was stacked up for me.  They should get it back by the middle
 of next week, maybe.  So, if you sent me any mail between Saturday morning
 and Wednesday night, I haven't seen it, and may never see it.  If it was
 important, resend it.
 
 So, to recap:
     * Resend me any mail from Saturday - Wednesday.
     * Watch http://www.tezcat.com/~andy/ for road trip stuff
 
 
 Updates/Corrections
 -------------------
 The April 14 Prodigy show at Metro is postponed.
 
 Ravi Shankar at Orchestra Hall is canceled.
 
 The list of places to get Descendents tickets omitted Voodoo Jive Records
 in Bannockburn.  They're at 2575 Waukegan Rd., or call (847) 267-1880
 
 
 Guess The Reference, last week
 ------------------------------
 Last week's reference was from "Elvis Is Dead", by Living Colour.  Random
 winner is Dan McNevin.  Dan, and Kristi Turnbaugh from last week, send me
 your USMail address.
 
 
 Guess The Reference, this week
 ------------------------------
 The top of the Shows List makes lyrical reference to a song.  Identify the
 song and artist, mail it to shows@tezcat.com, and win a fabulous Shows List
 Dollar.  One winner is chosen at random from all correct entries.  Any
 particularly funny or noteworthy entries may also win a SL$, whether or not
 the answer is correct.  Make sure you include your name in the entry.
