What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            The Chicago Shows List
                    Now with a chance for fabulous prizes!
                         Shows of note as of 03/02/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 MEDIA ALERT
     The Home Front column in the Friday section in the March 3 Chicago
     Tribune is going to have a story on the Shows List.  They're going to
     list the subscription address, so I expect many new subscribers.
 
 CONTEST ALERT
     Currently, 843 people receive the Chicago Shows List over the Internet.
     I'm expecting a big influx after this article on Friday.  So, the
     contest is: How many people will be on the subscriber list as of the
     time that I send out the March 16th list?
 
     Prizes:  Three CDs from my collection, PLUS three CDs from Liz's
     collection!  That's a total of... wait, let me check... SIX!  The
     winner will be whoever comes closest to the actual number as of my
     sending out the list.  In the case of a tie, I'll think of something.
     Only one guess per person, of course.  Your entries must be in by March
     16th at 6pm central time.
 
 LIZ IMPLORES
     Please vote often for "No change" in the M&M Color Election 1995.  Save
     tan.  Call 1-800-FUN-COLOR.  This is a joint effort of Beer Frame and
     Wind-Up Toy magazines, and all people with any aesthetic pride
     whatsoever.  Thank you.
 
 ACTUAL SHOW NOTES
     Lots of people are asking me "Is there a list for [city]?", so I moved
     it up even closer to the top in the FAQ.  The answer is: "Every other
     shows list that I know of is listed in the section at the bottom of
     each Chicago Shows List.  If it ain't there, I don't know about it."
 
     Yes, the Scott Adams at Harper is the one who writes Dilbert.  It's not
     musical, but I figure enough people might be interested.
 
     Sebadoh WILL be at Lounge Ax on the 10th.  They just can't advertise it.
