The Chicago Shows List: Parlez vous Sassy?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
NOTE 1:
We apologize for the flurry of what to many of you was confusing anonymous
mail. It was from someone sending a drop request to the wrong address.
ALL requests to be added or dropped from the Chicago Area Shows List MUST
be sent to Liz at lclayton@uhuru.uchicago.edu. The address is at the
bottom of every list.
NOTE 2:
Lots of Milwaukee/Madison shows this week:
* For much of Chicago, Milwaukee is a short hop over the state line.
* Milwaukee's SummerFest usually gets some monster acts.
* Even the county fairs get some names, like Waukesha County Fair with
Ted Nugent and Weird Al, although, alas, not on the same bill. <sigh>
* If a touring band is down here, they'll often be up there soon after
or soon before. For those of you who can't make the sold-out Tool
show at the Riviera, go to the Riverside the night before.
Any addresses or phone numbers that you can send me to add to my venue
list, please send it my way.
NOTE 3:
My sensibilities prohibit me from listing the Michael Bolton / Celine
Dion shows, and especially prohibits me from listing the 70s rock
washed-up has-beens who are charging $165 for pavillion tickets. If you
must have this information, send me mail.
NOTE 4:
Did anyone even notice that this is almost a day late?
