The Chicago Shows List: Hell no, not for five dollars
Shows of note as of 08/12/94

Comments from your Shows List Editor:
Lately I've been getting more mail than usual asking me for additional
info about shows. They're usually things like "how much is it", or "is it
going to be all ages" at a place like Lounge Ax. Let me say that I put in
every shred of info that I have on a show. If I knew how much it was, or
if it was abnormally all-ages, it'd have been in there. The exception is
something like Freefest, where I don't bother listing everything unless
people ask.
That being said, please note there's a vast communication network
in place that allows you, the show-goer, to get any amount of information
on any show that you want, including information that's not in the list.
CALL THE PLACE. I list phone numbers for all the venues, and when it's
one of the smaller punk shows, the promoter's phone number is at the end of
the list. It's certainly quicker than waiting for me to respond...
