                            The Chicago Shows List
          I'm not in for killing another man, protecting my holy land
                   As if there's a god who would understand
                         Shows of note as of 04/20/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ATTENTION ALL READERS
     If any of you are having your mail forwarded to another address, please
     STOP.  Every so often I receive bounced messages from accounts that are
     NOT on the mailing list.  This is NOT cool.  Currently, I'm getting
     bounces for cbok@chronic.mn.org and can't tell who is forwarding to
     that account.
 
 THIS WEEK'S LIST IS GOOFY
     The "new this week" section is not sorted correctly because of
     technical problems.  All the "The" bands are lumped together, Koko
     Taylor is under "K", and so on.  I should have it fixed next week.
 
 R.E.M. UPDATE
     R.E.M. are starting their tour again in mid-May, which means their
     shows at the Horizon in early June will still go on.
 
 WHAT'S THAT SMELL?
     The Grateful Dead, the band I hate most, is coming to town.  Still,
     being the service-minded fella that I am, I'm including their Chicago
     tour info is included here.
 
     The information comes via FTP, specifically /pub/gdead/tour dates at
     gdead.berkeley.edu.  Be glad I work in a cubicle next to a Deadhead.
 
 NEW DATES
     There are a few shows with new dates this week, most notably the Poster
     Children who are now on the 19th, with the Smoothies opening.  Yay!
 
     Also, Adam Ant is now on the 3rd of May, not the 2nd.
 
 THE SHOWS LIST: BOWDLERIZED OR TASTEFUL?
     A.C. are coming to town.  I figure those who know who A.C. are will
     know who I mean without having to give their real name.  I wrestled
     with this and thought "eh, it's just a matter of good taste".  Heck, if
     they even put it as A.C. on the album covers, it's good enough for me.
 
 SUBSCRIBER COUNT
     We've reached 1000 subscribers.  Actually, it's 998 of you out there,
     because I send myself 2 copies, but I won't quibble.
 
 SUBSCRIPTION INFO
     Mail a request to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>.  Please mention where you
     saw the list, just for my own curiosity.

 The Shows List is updated late every Thursday night.  You can get it over
 the Internet in two ways:
 
     World-Wide Web:     http://www.mcs.net/~alester/
     Mail subscription:  <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>  Ask to be added, and 
                         mention where you found out about the list.
 
 Please mail to shows@farpost.chi.il.us:
     -   New shows you'd like to see added
     -   Any corrections to anything in the list
     -   Subscription requests, or drop requests
     -   Information about other shows list across the country
     -   Anything other comments, etc
 
 You can also get it from Far Post BBS, (708) 934-6224
 
 There are many other shows lists available on the Internet.  As far as I
 know, unless the address is "listproc" or "listserv", the list is run by a
 human, not an automated list-management program.
