Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
